Análisis multidimensional del desempleo en jóvenes adultos en Ecuador exploración de patrones, factores determinantes y visualización de datos para año 2025

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the behavior of the Ecuadorian labor market, focusing on young adults. Although there are previous qualitative studies, there is a lack of more recent research. The National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC), in the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment, and Underemployment (ENEMDU), states that in 2023 2024, unemployment among young people aged 18 to 29 far exceeded the national average, hovering around 8 9%. With this background, the present research proposes a clearer approach to help identify patterns of unemployment based on relevant sociodemographic variables. Logistic regression was used, incorporating the sample design, and it was found that sociodemographic variables such as gender, ethnicity, educational level, and area of residence play a role in unemployment. Women, people of African descent, and residents of urban areas were the most likely to be unemployed.
