Demographic and economic migration is linked to poor labor standards, high unemployment rates, and the general health of a country's economy. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of labor immigration in the Ecuadorian commercial sector, using econometric techniques for the growth of trade and migratory adaptation. The methodology used was panel data, where a sample of 80,888 was extracted from the ENEMDU survey from 2018 to 2021. The results of the econometric model correspond to the reality of migration theories where the greatest contribution of a migrant it is generated by a high qualification of the same, according to the theory of human capital, factors such as job training, professional education, expenses and income from migration are considered. In conclusion, data was obtained that allowed us to corroborate that migration contributes to the growth of the commercial sector, but it must comply with the characteristic of high work experience and education, otherwise the hypothesis is rejected.
