Debilitamiento de la estructura de la familia tradicional y posicionamiento de la familia homoparental en Ecuador

Abstract

The present work is aimed at the analysis of how the positioning of the homoparental family is influencing the traditional family structure in Ecuador, all this, coupled with the great changes presented in the contemporary world, thus causing a diversification in terms of their functions and structure. The theoretical analysis is based on the sociological current of structural functionalism and the hermeneutical approach, which study the family as a social institution, composed of various specialized structures in which the roles and functions of each household member are well defined, while the epistemological approach is attached to the rational-deductive paradigm with theoretical foundations based on scientific articles from indexed journals and statistical data on reality from Ecuador. A proposal for intervention based on the design of an awareness program that disseminates the reality of homoparental families in the Ecuadorian population and promotes their inclusion in the different sectors of society and their full development has been proposed.
