Abstract

Abstract: The present investigation focuses on a historical review of the standards of Life and well-being in postcolonial Ecuador between the years 1830-1960. For which it was applied a qualitative approach, due to the lack of macroeconomic statistical information such as level of individuals (Population surveys), examining the realities of countries such as Cuba, Mexico and Brazil, where studies of this nature have been carried out, therefore, under the assumption of similarity of realities, it is assumed that in Ecuador the standard of living population was similar, also, using indicators such as forms of work, education and health, the type of state and the rural and urban way of life, it was deduced that the level of quality of life and well-being in postcolonial Ecuador was not the best, since at that time then political interests took precedence over the well-being of the people.
