Análisis jurídico de la estabilidad laboral en el sector privado Ecuador – 2023.

Abstract

The study explored and described factors that contribute to job instability, such as high staff turnover, the use of temporary contracts and unjustified dismissals. The evolution of labor law in Ecuador was examined, from its roots in Roman law to current legislation, highlighting the Constitution of the Republic and the Labor Code as fundamental pillars. The Ecuadorian labor legal framework was analyzed, which guarantees rights such as fair remuneration and maximum working hours. Deficiencies in the application of regulations were identified and a reform of the Labor Code was proposed to limit the use of temporary contracts and strengthen protection against unjustified dismissals. The research used a mixed methodology, combining legal analysis with an empirical approach, and used various techniques, such as documentary review and analysis of historical background. The results of the study are relevant for workers, employers, legislators and society in general, as they contribute to the debate on job stability in Ecuador.
