Abstract

This research work focuses on the study of correspondence between informal urban work carried out by workers in the city of Santa Rosa and the level of contribution of informal productive activities to the reduction of socioeconomic poverty. The situational diagnosis around the problem under study is mediated by the correlational analysis of working conditions and the quality of life of workers and their families. The context of the research was selected in consideration of the absence of studies of this type in Santa Rosa, third city in population ranking in the province of El Oro and in which a significant development of informal work as a survival strategy can be seen, in especially, of those social strata marginalized or excluded from formal work, due to, among other factors, the lack of employment and their condition of low-skilled labor. The main purpose of the study was to determine the level of contribution to the reduction of socio-economic poverty and social welfare generated by urban informal work in the city of Santa Rosa, and around it, specific related research purposes were formulated to the identification and classification of the informal activities carried out, to the establishment of average incomes, to the determination of the existence of precarious employment conditions, to the identification of manifestations of socioeconomic poverty and to the estimation of potential levels of risk of socio-environmental effects due to pollution, derived from the exercise of informal work activities.
