Abstract

Abstract: This work investigates the impact of fuel cost subsidies on social protests in Ecuador from 2019 to 2022, focusing on the interaction between government policies and society's responses. Through a detailed analysis that integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches, the history and evolution of subsidies in Latin America is explored, with special attention to the Ecuadorian context. It highlights how government decisions regarding subsidies have influenced both the state budget and socioeconomic dynamics, especially in the transportation sector. The study reveals the importance of understanding the relationship between economic policies and social response, providing key perspectives for the formulation of public policies. This analysis contributes a critical vision of the interactions between the government and citizens, emphasizing the socioeconomic consequences of subsidy policies.
