Análisis del trabajo decente en el mercado laboral ecuatoriano

Abstract

This research aim to analyse the laboral condition in Ecuador in 2014, as a solution of the low capacity of the Ecuadorian economy to generate quality jobs. Then based on the Alkire’s and Foster’s multidimensional poverty index, it’s used the derived Ortega ‘s index proposal for decent work in order to categorize the level of decent work that employees have according to their age, branch of activity, sex and geographic space ( urban – rural). In addition, this study also incorporates the determination of the socioeconomic and demographic factors that influence on decent work through an ordered logit model so as to make recommendations that might be taken as public policies.
