Conductas discriminatorias directas o sutiles en contextos laborales hacia las personas afroecuatorianas en la ciudad de Loja durante el año 2017

Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this research was to determine if there are direct or subtle discriminatory behaviors, within the labor contexts towards the afro-Ecuadorian population in Loja. We used a qualitative, descriptive, non-experimental transverse design; the information was collected from twenty-eight participants distributed in five focus groups of four to seven people each one; first a socio-demographic record was used, and then three stories with work scenarios involving direct or subtle discrimination towards afro-Ecuadorians. Sociodemographic data were analyzed with the SPSS 24 program and the information obtained through the focus groups was analyzed using the ATLAS.Ti 7 program. It is concluded that in the three labor scenarios mentioned above there are discriminatory behaviors, either directly or subtly, which are very close to the reality of the Afro-descendant population in the country, so it is necessary to combat discrimination to achieve a society more human rights.
