Is there a paradox of progress in Ecuador? Exploring the contingent effect of higher education on labor income inequality in 2009–2022
This study explores the relationship between higher education and labour income inequality in Ecuador from 2009 to 2022. Using the recentered influence function (RIF) approach and data from the Encuesta Nacional de Empleo, Desempleo y Subempleo (ENEMDU), the analysis decomposes inequality into structural and compositional effects. The findings reveal a ‘paradox of progress’, where higher education correlates with increased income inequality, prim…
The Capability to Reduce Inequality via STEM Occupations: The Case of Ecuador
This study examines the relationship between labor income inequality, higher education, and STEM occupations in Ecuador from 2009 to 2013 and from 2014 to 2019, considering techniques, degrees, and postgraduate education. It analyzes the “composition effect” and the “structural effect” using the recentered influence function (RIF). The “composition effect” measures how much inequality increases due to the influx of more workers with higher salari…
More economic diversity, less vulnerability? The case of Quito
Salario mínimo, pobreza y clase vulnerable, estudio de caso en Ecuador
The increase in the minimum wage in South American countries can follow frameworks and guides, amongst other factors, from those defined in Anglo-Saxon countries. For neoliberalism, minimum wages and poverty have a positive relationship, while for post-Keynesianism it is negative. In this research, we identify the variations of the minimum wage have on the incomes of the different economic deciles in Ecuador. We conclude that the variation of the…
Analysis of the Capacity to Inherit Intergenerational Gender Violence According to Sex: The Case of Ecuador
We studied whether there are intergenerational transmissions of gender violence in Ecuador and which relationship is stronger on gender violence in the couple: male violence experienced in childhood or violence experienced by women. We applied a nonlinear probabilistic model based on the conceptual design of the ecological model. Our results confirm that, in Ecuador, the probability of gender violence increases if individuals have grown up in a c…
Más profesionales en ciencia, ingeniería y tecnología, más movilidad intergeneracional de ingresos en Latinoamérica
La movilidad intergeneracional de ingresos (MII) es la capacidad para cambiar de clase social, independientemente de la clase social de origen. Si bien en Latinoamérica la MII es especialmente baja, una nueva clase creativa ha logrado llegar a los deciles más altos en la región sin necesariamente pertenecer a la clase dominante. Dado que los creativos en ciencia, ingeniería y tecnología (CIT) están especialmente bien remunerados y hay un exceso d…

Social Determinants, Urban Planning, and Covid-19 Response: Evidence From Quito, Ecuador
Covid-19 has put all urban planning systems around the world to the test. Cities’ design and how these are managed are being observed, analyzed, and even questioned from the perspective of the pandemic. Density and poverty have been two fundamental aspects to manage in the pandemic scenario in cities of the Global South, which face this challenge along with other pre-pandemic planning problems. In the city of Quito, Ecuador, the response to the p…
The minimum wage in Ecuador: Its impact on poverty, inequality and labour market structure
This article aims to present an overview of the impact of the minimum wage (MW) on the labour market in Ecuador. This Andean country is taken as a sample of all the countries in the region, with similar structural limitations in their labour markets. In Ecuador, the MW is positioned in the intermediate deciles. In the lower deciles, most of the workforce is informal or self-employed. The ‘lighthouse effect’ of the MW on the rest of the employed a…
International trade agreements within the Gatt-WTO paradigm: A descriptive study based on sociological reflection approach
After the end of the Second World War, the second half of the twentieth century brought in, one the one hand, the establishment of GATT provisions in 1947 and the legal texts implemented during its negotiation rounds as a regulatory framework, and on the other hand, the creation in 1995 of the WTO as the central normative entity for international trade. In this way, the states' economic opening strategy focuses on reducing rampant protectionism, …
What changes the skill premium in South America
In this article, it is analyzed which variables limit the reduction of inequality in South America, as measured by the skill premium, in the period of economic stagnation 2016-2019. It considers the variables that explain the decline in inequality in the region in 2002-2015 and applies a generalized ordered Probit model to identify which variables would be limiting its reduction in 2016-2019. The results show that governance, human capital, and p…

From Preferential Trade Arrangements to Free Trade Agreements: One of the Downturns of Cooperation in International Relations
Since the signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), preferential trade agreements (PTAs) have been an interesting tool to promote international cooperation through the granting of non-reciprocal and/or unilateral tariff preferences by developed countries to developing countries. These international agreements have tended to generate critical trade dependencies for the rece…
Comunidades isoladas e dispersas, comunidades em condição de marginalização no Equador: Comunidades aisladas y dispersas, comunidades en condición de marginación en Ecuador
The concept of marginalization allows knowing the "assets" or tools whose access determines the ability to move out of poverty. In this article an attempt is made to verify whether in a rural area the distance to the nearest urban center and the population density are "assets" that determine poverty. A descriptive analysis shows how poverty in the communities farthest removed from the nearest urban center and less dense is almost 30 points greate…
