Análisis de género en la gestión financiera de las empresas ecuatorianas, CIIU: M70. Periodo 2017- 2023

Abstract

Abstract: Historically, women´s participation in leadership positions has been minimal, and they have been relegated to secondary administrative roles. This research aims to study the participation of men and women in the financial management of Ecuadorian companies (CIIU: M70) during the period 2017-2023. To achieve this objective, three specific goals were established: to characterize the companies, to analyze the participation of men and women in management and executive positions, and to evaluate financial management. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive methodology with a qualitative approach was applied. The population consisted of companies in the M70 sector that report their financial information to SCSV from whose database the information was extracted and analyzed by descriptive statistics. The results show a high concentration of young companies, primarily located in Pichincha and Guayas provinces, and this sector presents a predominance of men in the analyzed positions, in financial analysis, women show better performance during times of crisis.
