Probabilidades de empleo en trabajadores senior ecuatorianos

Abstract

Abstract: The motivation to conduct this research arises from the need to understand and address the obstacles faced by senior workers in the Ecuadorian labor market. In a context where labor longevity and the aging of the population are increasingly relevant, it is necessary to know the internal and external factors that can optimize hiring processes in organizations. This study investigates the probabilities of suitable employment and formal suitable employment in Ecuadorian senior workers. Microdata from the ENEMDU Survey for the years 2019 and 2023 are used and probability models are estimated assuming a logistic distribution of the residuals. The main results indicate that having a professional degree, being male, living in urban areas, being in a relationship, belonging to a higher quintile, having public or private insurance, and having a permanent contract significantly increase the probabilities of adequate employment and formal adequate employment of senior workers.
