Public Policies in Work Insertion and Entrepreneurship in Women from Rumiñahui, Ecuador

Abstract:

At present, the differences related to work insertion and entrepreneurship of women still persist at international, national and local levels. This investigation aims to evaluate the current public policies and their relationship with the work insertion and entrepreneurship of the women of the canton, to redesign them in order to mitigate the current socio-economic problems. Theoretical and empirical methods of investigation were applied. In the design of the public policy proposal, the MULTIPOL method was specifically used with the participation of 10 experts. Three public policies are proposed, which content is related to the online training of women who have ongoing projects to improve their income and increase their lifespan, the design and application of specific training programs for different occupational groups to which the women of the canton belong, mainly focused on services and sales, and encourage voluntary affiliation to social security in working women. It was evidenced that the public policies established by the COPRODER in the Local Agenda of Equality in 2016, referring to entrepreneurship and economic income, have not been developed from an integral point of view, as it was done in the present study in order to perfect public policy by integrating the aspects found in the research.
