Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the determinants of unemployment in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia in the period 2000-2020. A methodology with a quantitative and qualitative approach is used since in addition to data collection, the collection of qualitative facts is also involved, mainly to give an answer or interpretation to the data. The design is of a non-experimental type and the scope is descriptive and correlative since it describes the study variables and seeks the affinity between them. The literary review was developed based on the theories on public spending and unemployment, foreign direct investment and unemployment, wages and unemployment and other variables that affect unemployment in Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. The main conclusion is that the variables of public spending, basic salary and foreign direct investment affect the unemployment rate in the 3 countries (Ecuador, Colombia and Peru). Within this, it can be concluded that in these 3 countries public spending policies have affected negatively, since the results show that the increase in public spending on unemployment will have a positive trend, so public spending, in specific terms in the 3 countries, not stimulate job creation.
