Análisis del desempleo en el Ecuador antes y después de la nueva constitución

Abstract

Abstract: Unemployment has historically been present in our country. To affirm this, we must consider that the levels of this labor indicator can vary according to different circumstances and times since the same causes that cause unemployment are not always found. For example, it is important to mention that at the beginning of the new century, Ecuador experienced an economic and labor crisis with historical records resulting in one of the highest unemployment levels in Ecuador's history. Furthermore, it could be mentioned that corruption and bad public policies can cause job loss. We can also determine how an external shock can affect employment in the country, this is the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, which in recent years was a cause of labor impacts, harming certain productive sectors such as transportation and tourism. In addition, these situations have provoked a mass exodus of citizens seeking to escape unemployment in Ecuador.
