Análisis del desarrollo socioeconómico en Ecuador, como consecuencia del teletrabajo impuesto por la situación sanitaria del COVID-19 entre los años 2020 al 2023.

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the effect of telework, imposed as a biosecurity measure in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the socioeconomic development of Ecuador during the period 2020-2023. Based on a quantitative and qualitative approach, the impacts of telework on productivity, the digital divide, work-life balance, urban dynamics and the informal economy are analyzed. The first results reflect productivity improvements in certain sectors, an increase in digital inequality in rural areas and a reduction in urban mobility. Overall, telework is presented as a transformational factor in the Ecuadorian socioeconomic environment, with implications that demand public policies aimed at a more inclusive and sustainable development.
