Abstract

Abstract: This work analyzes the fulfillment and relevance of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) in the Ecuadorian context, highlighting its connection with labor rights and social justice. Through an exhaustive review of the doctrinal and legal literature, the progress, challenges and regulatory gaps in the implementation of public policies that promote decent and equitable working conditions are examined. In addition, an emblematic ruling of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador is studied, evaluating its impact on the protection of fundamental rights and the strengthening of the justice system. This analysis identifies strengths, such as the recognition of the violation of labor rights, and weaknesses, such as the need for greater clarity in the application of remedial measures. Finally, strategic recommendations are proposed to improve the effectiveness of public policies and promote a more inclusive and fair regulatory framework. This contribution contributes to the academic and professional debate on how to guarantee sustainable development through strong institutions and the restitution of labor rights.
