Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this work is to explore the academic preferences of Law students at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL) and their connection with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the study of cases and rulings. The study focuses on analyzing SDG number 8, which aims to improve the quality of life of workers globally, promoting more equitable and sustainable societies. It is argued that achieving this goal requires continuous monitoring, global collaboration, and the implementation of effective policies. To this end, the theories and perspectives of various authors on working conditions will be examined, as well as the laws and agreements intended to protect workers, in line with the jurisprudence reviewed in this study. Furthermore, the importance of ensuring dignified and equal working conditions for all, regardless of social conditions, ethnicity, religion, or gender, is highlighted, ensuring equitable treatment for both employers and employees. This work aims to contribute to the understanding and promotion of fairer and more respectful work environments, aligned with the principles of SDG number 8. Additionally, the study will explore the role of legal education in shaping students' awareness and commitment to sustainable development.
