Evaluación socioeconómica y laboral de las personas con discapacidad en Ecuador entre 2013-2023

Abstract

Abstract: The present research, entitled socioeconomic and labor evaluation of persons with disabilities in Ecuador between 2013-2023, has the general objective of evaluating the socioeconomic and labor situation of persons with disabilities in Ecuador, with emphasis on employment, education, poverty of this vulnerable group. For this purpose, a mixed methodology was applied. The quantitative approach is based on the analysis of official data from CONADIS, INEC and ENEMDU, which allowed the development of an analytical and rigorous study on the main socioeconomic and labor indicators. At the same time, the quantitative approach addressed the national and international normative framework in force in the area of disability, showing progress and pending challenges in its compliance. The results show that, despite some progress, there are still structural, social and cultural barriers that limit the full inclusion of people with disabilities in all areas of social life. This research seeks to contribute with useful evidence for the design of more inclusive public policies and to raise awareness in society about the need to build a more just, equitable and accessible country for all.
