El derecho de alimentos para jóvenes adultos hasta los veintitrés años en casos excepcionales.

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the feasibility of extending the right to food support for young adults up to the age of twenty-three under particular circumstances, such as the pursuit of university studies. Recognizing that many young adults remain financially dependent on their families during higher education, the current legal provision, which caps this right at the age of 21, appears outdated. By conducting a comparative legal analysis and assessing the current socioeconomic landscape, this research aims to highlight the necessity for legal reform. It addresses the contemporary dynamics affecting Ecuadorian youth, emphasizing the importance of updating the legal framework to meet new social and educational demands. The goal is to establish a legal structure that fosters equity, ensures social justice, and supports the comprehensive development of young adults during their pivotal transition into the workforce.
