Perspectivas de desarrollo socioeconómico de los países latinoamericanos a través de la comunidad andina de naciones.

Abstract

In the current model of globalization, the consolidation of trade agreements and regional economic blocks are presented as optimal strategies to achieve that the societies of the nations involved perceive a higher level of income and quality of life. Through the following study, a theoretical and statistical exploration will be carried out on the countries that make up the Andean Community of Nations (CAN) evaluating them through their Human Development Index that incorporates components such as income level, life expectancy and educational level of the population. The objective through which this research is developed is to analyze the current socioeconomic condition of the member countries of the Andean Community of Nations through a statistical compilation of their Human Development Indexes (HDI) to evaluate the feasibility of this economic group to lead Latin American integration. The application of a methodology with a quantitative approach, descriptive typology and non-experimental design was considered. Until the 2022 results, Ecuador was presented as the country with the highest HDI compared to Peru, Colombia and Bolivia, however, this achievement has been overshadowed by the current panorama of citizen and economic insecurity that the country faces. In terms of regional integration, little progress has been made and even the CAN has not generated interest for other nations to join, this in view of the serious political and economic problems that exist in the member countries that have not managed to establish a common legal framework beneficial to the streamlining of intra-community trade.
