Enfoque de género en las cualificaciones profesionales del sector turismo en la provincia de Pichincha en el año 2017

Abstract

The present investigation began with the detection of two problems: (1) limited access to higher education of 88% of the Ecuadorian population, and (2) the social debt that has been incurred in the application of gender equity in the country. . Among its aims, we analyzed the public policies that influence non-formal education and explore whether the gender perspective was immersed. To this end, certified people from the tourism sector in the province of Pichincha were diagnosed, through mixed, quantitative and qualitative research, and to investigate whether public policy with a gender focus has been implemented in the issuance of qualifications. professionals, specifically in the training and certification of labor competencies; and ultimately, an attempt was made to understand the users' perception of the services provided. The main findings of the study were to verify that there is no link between the qualifications and the labor training needs of the people who require it and the demands in the labor market, confirming that the public policies of the professional qualifications system are in the making and are permanent construction. The certified people qualified the service at a medium level, because there are some deficiencies in their provision to which improvements were proposed; and, it was identified that gender equality at this educational level remains an ideal, because of the repeated and memorized discourse that disguises what happens in the private sphere between men and women in these spaces.
