As a result, it is necessary to analyse the representative political culture in social capital for the sustainable development on the Colombian territory. Based on a methodology originating from the Survey of Political Culture ECP-DANE (2019) and using a Probit model, this study establishes a relation between social-demographic variables and congress trust. The results show what infl uence gender, age, and educational level have on trust in the congress as an important aspect for the achievement of the welfare goals of the national community.
