Análisis de género en la gestión financiera de las empresas ecuatorianas, CIIU: I56. Periodo 2017- 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the gender dynamics on financial roles of Ecuadorian companies (ISIC: I56) during the period 2017-2023. To achieve this objective, three specific objectives were established: characterization of Ecuadorian companies, analysis of the participation of men and women in management positions (including executive and president), and financial management from a gender perspective. The methodology employed was a non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive design with a quantitative approach. The study population consisted of all companies (ISIC: I56) that report their data to the SCVS (Superintendency of Securities and Insurance), from which the data were obtained for statistical documentary analysis. The results show a high concentration of companies in the coastal and highland regions, particularly in the provinces with the highest population density. Female participation in management and president positions in this sector is limited and dominated by men. Furthermore, no significant gender differences were observed in the financial indicators analyzed.
