Análisis de género en la gestión financiera de las empresas ecuatorianas, CIIU: C20. Periodo 2017- 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This research studies the relationship between gender and economic management in Ecuadorian organizations within the C20 sector (ISIC code 20) during the period 2017-2023. The findings indicate that this sector is showing increasing administrative formalization processes. Management is progressing towards parity, while the presidency continues to experience a significant gender gap, thus limiting the number of women at the highest decision-making levels. In economic management, the indicators show negative values for both men and women, suggesting that performance is not gender dependent. Both managers with and without professional training exhibit both high and low profitability, reflecting traditional organizational models that limit efficiency. Based on the results, it can be concluded that this sector is undergoing a transformation process with steps towards inclusion but faces significant challenges in professionalization and financial sustainability.
