It makes life conditions visible, which are the way in which people develop and survive. And they are made up of individual, political, economic and social particularities of their lives. When families live with limited economic resources, they develop poor health or education stemming from lack of employment. It is said that when the economic crisis occurs, people's living conditions are unstable, which affects the entire population, individual or community. The living conditions of people and of the entire society change over time, because social policies in the welfare state can improve the living conditions of the population, employment plans, unemployment insurance, community restaurants, housing plans , etc. Therefore, it is important to recognize that means are useful for full development in the life of the population. It also focuses on issues such as social development, which is a process that leads to improvements in the living conditions of the entire population in different areas: mainly health, education, nutrition, housing, vulnerability, social security, employment and wages.

This public policy approach means that the main objective of social programs is to reduce poverty, especially extreme poverty. The mechanism to achieve this goal is to promote human development by expanding individual capabilities and opportunities. When we speak of poverty we refer to the multiple variables that contribute to this effect, the poverty indicator in Ecuador is gradually decreasing, but this trend has stopped in recent years. Today it is estimated that poverty will affect a third of the population. All of this is the result of the pandemic that occurred in early 2020. As a result of this event, the environment of thousands of Ecuadorians and Ecuadorians was affected, leading them to a situation of lack and need. Based on all this information, a study is put into action on its causes and consequences, involving issues such as skills improvement, economic and social inclusion, social integration, etc., in order to formulate action plans linked to government policies and provide assistance through motivational campaigns, in conjunction with state programs, to develop responses and solutions to these problems.
