El sector comercial informal y su incidencia en el desarrollo socio-económico en la ciudad de Quito, año 2011

Abstract

Abstract: Informality shows its complexity from its very definition. The International Labor Organization defines that the primary characteristic of informal workers is that they are not recognized or protected by legal and regulatory frameworks; they also lack social protection, recognition of property rights or dependence on informal institutions for the development of their activity. We carry out an analysis of the products that are marketed and how this activity impacts the economic sector, determining the incidence of informal activity. Based on a survey, we incorporated data such as: level of education, time spent on the activity, reasons, capital invested, dates of best income, level of sales, advertising, promotion and influence factors. According to the 2010 census there is a universe of 5,643 informal registered workers, of which more than 60% are women and mothers. Only 4.3% are affiliated to the IESS. There is little coin information.
