Realidad socio-económica de la Zona de Planificación 5 del Ecuador. Análisis a una escala cantonal

Abstract

This research was carried out with the objective of knowing the socioeconomic reality of the 48 cantons of the planning area 5 of Ecuador, under an analytical context.

In the methodology the multivariate technique was applied through the factor analysis and cluster, whose results show that there are inequalities derived from the greater development in the cantons Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno, Balao, Colimes, Daule, El Empalme, El Triunfo, General Antonio Elizalde, Beaches , Isidro Ayora, Lomas de Sargentillo, Colonel Marcelino Miradueña, Milagro, Naranjal, Naranjito, Nobol, Palestina, San Jacinto de Balzar, Santa Cruz, Mocache, Palenque and Quevedo because they have a better education system and less unemployment in reference to the cantons Ventanas and La Libertad with a poor growth due to the high job vacancy that does not allow to promote adequate literacy and greater citizen participation in national productivity.

As a result, this does not allow the generation of opportunities in an equitable and sustainable way in this geographic space, evidencing marked poles that concentrate the economic resources and the well-being in certain sectors
