Análisis del mercado laboral en Ecuador Guayaquil 2019- 2022.

Abstract

The labor market in Ecuador has been areas of constant concern and great challenge for some decades. Unemployment has been especially high among young people and people with lower educational levels due to lack of resources; That is, the lack of investment in education and in certain productive sectors encourages a slowdown in the economy. Due to the problems raised in the labor market and unemployment, people are forced to generate sources of income through activities such as informality. The covid-19 pandemic also had an influence, since employment and informality rates continued to increase. In this essay, information was collected from documents, newspaper articles, reports and news, among others related to unemployment and informality with the objective of studying the behavior of the labor market during the period 2019-2022. The state has implemented a plan to encourage companies to hire young personnel through the well-known youth employment that benefits companies as well as young people. It is also focusing on encouraging more job openings in different areas through entrepreneurship, as well. We are seeking to improve technical and professional education. Although there are persistent challenges, efforts are being made to improve the employment situation in Ecuador.
