Análisis de las políticas públicas para combatir el desempleo en el Ecuador durante el período 2020 - 2022: Caso de estudio de los jóvenes recién graduados de la universidad de la parroquia San Pedro de los Cofanes Cantón Shushufindi Provincia de Sucumbíos

Abstract

Abstract: According to INEC (2021), young Ecuadorians face high levels of unemployment and a shortage of job opportunities, despite the efforts of the National Government, especially for the population between 18 and 29 years of age. Contradictions have been identified in existing policies, such as the Youth Employment and My First Job programs, which have generated discrepancies in their implementation. A case study was conducted in the parish of San Pedro de los Cofanes, Canton Shushufindi, province of Sucumbíos, with the objective of analyzing the public policies implemented in Ecuador during the period 2020 to 2022 to reduce unemployment among young recent university graduates from a case study. The research was descriptive and employed documentary and field approaches. It revealed barriers to finding employment, such as lack of experience and competition in the labor market. In conclusion, current public policies have failed to create jobs for young recent graduates, highlighting the need to develop more effective and robust policies to address youth unemployment in Ecuador.
