THE VIOLET ECONOMY, ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT WOMEN'S LABOR FORMALITY IN ECUADOR

Abstract

Women have played an important role in the development of society's economic activities, participating in the labor market through their various capacities linked to the production of goods and services. In this way, the study of this reality in a specialized way is of utmost importance, which is why the so-called violet economy fulfills this purpose. The research addresses the study of the variables that influence women in Ecuador to be working in the formal sector of the labor market, using the survey of the Ecuadorian Institute of Statistics and Censuses called the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment ( ENEMDU); which is microdata that can be analyzed at a specific point in time (cross-sectional analysis). The Logit econometric model was used because it is ideal when working with microeconomic variables whose information is obtained through official surveys.
