“Factores correlacionales del tejido social y productivo en el Cantón Azogues-Ecuador.”

Abstract

The social and productive structure of the Azogues canton is influenced by several correlational factors, such as entrepreneurship, innovation, and associativity, which are fundamental for the community’s sustainable development. The methodology used in the study was quantitative, with an exploratory, descriptive, and correlational, cross-sectional and probabilistic approach. The results corroborate a non-parametric distribution, with an arithmetic mean of 3.95 and a standard deviation of 0.489. The averages of the variables: entrepreneurship, innovation, and associativity (0.625**, 0.259**, 0.426**) are statistically significant. In conclusion, supporting local entrepreneurs, promoting innovation, and strengthening associativity are vital strategies to boost economic development, generate employment, increase competitiveness, and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of Azogues. These strategies will be adopted based on reliable statistics with empirical evidence to strengthen the social and productive structure.
