Abstract

COVID-19 transformed labor scenarios and increased existing problems such as poverty and unemployment. In the city of Machala-Ecuador, one effect was the growth of informal commerce. The right to work is a fundamental right and must be respected by the State. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the constitutional rights of informal traders in Machala-Ecuador, in the confiscation of their products. A documentary-descriptive type of research was proposed. An analysis of national and international legislation was carried out based on the contrast of articles referring to the area and data on the labor situation. The results show that a high percentage of the economically active population works in informal commerce; these people are subjects of rights, in the constitutional framework and it is a human right. However, Ordinance 004-2021 of the government of Machala limits these rights in public spaces.
