Incidencia del cumplimiento de la afiliación a la seguridad social en el bienestar de los trabajadores del sector bananero de Ecuador.

Abstract

This work aims to determine the incidence of compliance with social security affiliation on the welfare of workers in the banana sector in Ecuador and to generate communication and information mechanisms on the benefits and services that the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (IESS) provides to its affiliates. A descriptive-correlational research was developed, a survey was applied to 382 people working in the banana sector to identify their perception in relation to the objective and subjective dimensions of well-being. As a result of this analysis, it was concluded that membership is not a direct mechanism to achieve well-being, but it limits the worker to having access to benefits that help to improve the quality of life and that are implicit within the dimensions that directly influence in the improvement of the welfare of all workers, it was also evidenced that the people surveyed do not know the benefits that are granted to the affiliates, so a proposal of communication strategies is presented to socialize the services that social security provides to its affiliates and the penalties that exist for employers for lack of affiliation, thus channeling a mutual benefit and the formal fulfillment of obligations and rights.
