Análisis de la explotación laboral de migrantes menores de edad y el control existente por parte de los organismos nacionales e internacionales.

Abstract

This research on the labor exploitation of migrant minors is based on the study of the conditions under which minors are exposed to economic activities. Although these activities are manifest in various forms, they ultimately harm the physical, psychological, or social development of minors. Child labor exploitation is a social phenomenon with significant impacts and research components. National and international measures will be studied for their effectiveness in eradicating this issue, considering the national processes established in the legislation. The research applies an analytical method by collecting doctrinal, normative, bibliographic, linkographic, and institutional management background information from sources that enable analyzing and describing migrant child labor exploitation and the existing control by national and international organizations. It is evident that the complaints filed regarding child labor exploitation are minimal and do not reflect the actual social reality, highlighting the inadequacy of the law in its practical application. Additional policy initiatives are needed to raise public awareness and establish regulatory bodies by the government to conduct thorough investigations and enforce penalties in cases occurring in Ecuador.
