Introduction:
The inequality gaps between urban and rural areas worldwide and especially in developing countries such as Colombia, are increasing.
Objective:
Among the main purposes of the Sustainable Development Goals -ODS-, is the reduction of these gaps. In this article, some indicators that show the differences between urban and rural territories in Colombia are analyzed, and the way in which the social and solidarity economy sector, especially the cooperative sector, has contributed to this end.
Materials and Methods:
The foregoing under a qualitative social approach with a comparative method that seeks from the description and statistical analysis of socioeconomic indicators, the relationship between compliance with the SDGs and the contribution of the cooperative sector in some areas of the country.
The Results suggest that in Colombia the greatest deficit of indicators and deficiencies are consistent.
Conclusion:
the SDGs are found in rural areas due to the existence of structural factors that will make it very difficult for our country to comply with and contribute to the 2030 agenda, therefore that the intervention of other actors is urgently required.
Keywords : Socio-economic indicators; rural sector; ODS.
