El rol paterno y el ejercicio del derecho de permiso de paternidad desde la percepción de los trabajadores de sexo masculino.

Abstract

This study exposes the Right to Paternity Leave from a social perspective in the incidence it has on the application of workers in a pharmaceutical company in the city of Guayaquil, addressing from the literature the reasons that support its introduction in national legislation for the regulation and equalization of constitutional and civil rights for the family, maintaining the description of gender roles and their incidence in conjugal behavior of responsibility towards their children and society. The methodology used presents a qualitative approach, carried out through two internal interviews, to workers and operational leaders, as a means to collect information. The results show that workers mostly abstain from applying for paternity leave, because they consider that they expose economic and labor stability for their family and work performance, so, although it is an inalienable right, they prefer not to use. It was concluded that policies, whether corporate, state or administrative, must be configured to meet the needs of parents at the time of major changes in their lives, strengthening the family and society in general.
