Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this investigative work is to study Ruling No. 7-14-IN/21 of Ecuador's Constitutional Court, which deals with the case of a group of informal cab drivers in Ambato's city, affected by restrictive requirements for their labor regularization imposed by an ordinance of the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Canton Ambato. These requirements, such as affiliation to specific companies, residence in the canton for a certain time, or possession of a certain nationality, were considered as limiting for the exercise of their labor rights, generating controversy among the applicants. This judgement's analysis is related to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 8, which focuses on the importance of inclusive public policies that promote decent employment and sustainable economic growth. This case highlights the need to critically examine labor and economic policies to ensure equity and equal access to employment, as well as respect for the fundamental rights of all citizens.
