Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze unemployment benefits and their collection in the IESS by employed workers, in accordance with social, economic, and Ecuadorian legislation. To address this objective, a mixed methodology was designed: quantitative and qualitative. A statistical analysis of figures on the issue of unemployment was carried out at the national level and in the province of Azuay during the period 2016-2019. In addition, fieldwork was carried out that consisted of collecting information on the phenomenon of study, from affiliates to social security who have accessed this benefit in 2019. The sampling applied was non-probabilistic and for convenience. The statistical analysis was descriptive, so the analysis was based on the consideration of frequencies and percentages. Based on the development of the research work, it was possible to highlight among the main findings that unemployment benefit in the Ecuadorian context is related to the capacities of the State and, more specifically, of the governments that succeed in the command of power, to ensure what by law is a worker right.
