Determinantes del empleo juvenil en el Ecuador periodo 2017-2023.

Abstract

This study analyzes the factors that determine youth employability in Ecuador between 2017 and 2023, using an econometric approach with a dichotomous logit model. The objective is to identify the relationship of socioeconomic, and geographic variables on the probability of youth employment in Ecuador. The research has five chapters: introduction, theoretical framework, contextualization, methodology and analysis of results. For the quantitative study, variables such as area of residence, sex, head of household, marital status, education level, school attendance, nationality, region, work experience and income have been considered through the methodological use of secondary data sources, using data from the ENEMDU with a focus only on young people between 18 and 30 years of age, with a non-experimental design and a descriptive and correlational scope. The main results show that rural youth have fewer opportunities for formal employment, while women are more likely to be employed than men in general. Similarly, it can be seen that young people in the coastal region are more likely to be employed than in other regions.
