Impacto de las uniones tempranas en el proyecto de vida y la estabilidad laboral de los trabajadores del sector minero del cantón Santa Rosa en el año 2025.

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to analyze the impact of early unions on the life plans and job stability of mining employees in the canton of Santa Rosa in 2025, in order to understand how these emotional decisions, influence their personal, professional, and work trajectories. This is a phenomenon that has been highly normalized by society since ancient times; however, at the same time, it constitutes a social problem that directly impacts personal, educational, family, and labor development. The study was conducted using a qualitative, descriptive approach and a non-experimental design, using non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The technique used for data collection was a semi-structured interview applied to 10 male employees in the mining sector in the canton of Santa Rosa, which made it possible to reconstruct the experiences of this phenomenon and analyze its effects. The results show that early unions significantly affect life plans, leading to school dropouts, early family responsibilities, and limitations in personal development. In addition, job instability is evident in informal jobs, which tend to offer precarious working conditions that do not provide the security required in these positions.
