Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyzes the relationship between the academic preferences of law students and their connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an emphasis on SDG 8, which focuses on decent work and economic growth. It considers the study of Resolution No. 07-2021 of the National Court of Justice, as well as other case law and theoretical studies related to the study objective. The research used an exploratory and deductive approach, combining documentary analysis with fact-finding techniques to examine the application of binding precedents and evaluate their impact on legal training. Among the findings, it stands out that students are attracted to this area because it allows them to defend social justice and protect vulnerable workers, such as laborers or employees in precarious conditions. This ruling addresses a serious problem in the Ecuadorian labor system, where erroneous pension calculations, based on the minimum wage rather than actual income, reduced workers' right to a decent retirement.
