Summary/Abstract: This research addresses issues related to the concept of social policy and the design of social policy in the context of ever-changing challenges in the economic, social and political fields. The complexity and variety of social problems that manifest themselves at the national level have required the capture of the objectives and role of social policies whose evolution has led to changes in state functions, which assume responsibilities in ensuring collective welfare, in order to provide goods and services for the whole community. In this approach, issues related to social justice and efficiency were addressed, which must be met, considered together, harmonized resulting in a compromise between efficiency and equality, between the market economy and the moral arguments of redistribution, a result which consists in social equity. At the same time, we considered it necessary to present the structure of social policy to allow the successful design and implementation of social policies, being presented in this regard the factors involved and its structural components.
