Abstract

The present research aims to evaluate remittances in Ecuador and their socioeconomic incidence during the period 2016-2021; by identifying the changes generated by the variables in the local and national economy. In this sense, migration are aspects that have been taking place for many years throughout the world; where people due to different factors such as: war, earthquakes, epidemics, confrontation and politics decide to seek new horizons to improve the quality of life. Indeed, for the Ecuadorian State, the remittances sent by compatriots have served to give dynamism to the dollarized economy, which even became the second item of income, after oil. The present methodology used in the investigation establishes the method, type and design, population and sample used. From this, the analysis of the results obtained in the investigation is carried out, through statistical information obtained from the Central Bank of Ecuador. This part is elaborated with the main characteristics shown by the remittances entered into the country, as well as the evolution of the production, investment, consumption and public spending variables. Finally, it is evident that the more immigrants enter, the greater the amount of remittances will be; while from the economic point of view, this event makes it possible to keep wages fixed and if the government were to increase a mix of productive factors by taking advantage of qualified labor in the industrial sectors, as developed countries have done to strengthen and boost the economy.
