The research has a mixed methodology, that is, qualitative and quantitative since surveys and interviews were carried out, obtaining as a result that In Ecuador there is a high percentage of older adults who are unemployed or unemployed and face the paradigm of labor insertion by companies or individuals, including even in the field of domestic work, taking into consideration that with the entry into force of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, constitutional rights or guarantees were instituted that protected vulnerable groups and also to minority groups, which in addition to having been benefited, both at the constitutional level, have also been benefited at the legal level, which is why the practice or execution of these norms in society is urgent, concluding that there is a lack of state labor protection towards older adults since there is no regulation that obliges employers to control tie them up, hence they fall into a state of need as a result of the lack of employment that helps them cover their basic expenses, it being imperative to reform numeral 33 of Art. 42 of the Labor Code in order to achieve labor equity without discrimination.
