Políticas de inclusión laboral de las mujeres en el sector privado en el Ecuador, desde la Constitución del 2008.

Abstract

This academic article focuses on gender parity in the private sphere of work, beginning with a historical analysis of the role played by women in work from prehistoric times to the 21st century, as well as the rights established in this field. It also contextualizes some issues, including gender parity, discrimination, and gender perspective. This is approached from a female point of view by the authors and lawyers Alda Facio and Marcela Lagarde. Following this, national and international regulations and jurisprudence are examined, which have introduced a gender perspective to combat discrimination. However, the observed facts and results still indicate significant discrimination against women. It also examines the androcentric approach in national regulations like the Labor Code, and the limitations in the private labor sphere, including the ‘Law to Prevent and Eradicate Violence against Women’. Finally, various indicators that contemplate the labor reality of women in Ecuador from 2008 to June 2023 are examined.
