Abstract

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent work and economic growth, and its fulfillment in Ecuador, using a descriptive bibliographic methodology with a qualitative approach. This SDG calls for promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all with the aim of eradicating poverty through the creation of stable and well-paid jobs. The results found indicate that in Ecuador the growth rate of GDP per capita does not grow by the established average of 7%; In terms of underemployment, there is a significant gap between rural and urban areas. Similarly, the gap between average income between men and women remains in the indicated period and with high percentages in rural areas. Regarding tourism, the employment generated, and tourism GDP are much lower than the average of some Latin American countries. Finally, the impact of Covid-19 generated a slowdown in the economy, causing a setback in the fulfillment of this objective.
