Public safety is multidimensional, and it must guarantee that every citizen should be able to live freely without any misery or fear. Despite overall economic gains in social and technological rights this has not yet been achieved in Latin America which has also been catalogued as the most violent area in the world. In the county of Cuenca, parish “el Sagrario” it has been historically constituted as one of the most unsafe areas even though it has infrastructural and security facilities that have been determined by international standards as “suitable.” Under these circumstances it is important to determine which social issues cause the parish “el Sagrario” to be unsafe. Through qualitative research it has been shown that poverty, inequality, lack of opportunities, alcoholism, drug abuse, prostitution, migration, and disorder are the main factors that trigger these criminal conditions in the parish “el Sagrario.” The capitalist system and its principles determine the social dynamics of a society which has resulted in social issues that have been influenced by the level of violence in the parish “el Sagrario.” The authorities took on the challenge to reduce crime.

The research project "Analysis of the Productive and Reproductive Roles Assumed During the Working-Age Period by Older Adults and Their Effects on Economic Security in Old Age from a Gender Perspective, in Sayausí Parish in 2025" aims to analyze the perceptions of men and women aged 65 and over regarding their current economic security and the gender roles they assumed during their productive years. This qualitative study, with a phenomenological design and an exploratory-descriptive scope, employs thematic-narrative analysis to categorize and interpret relevant discourse. The techniques used include in- depth interviews and focus groups, aimed at understanding participants’ experiences related to economic security, productive and reproductive roles, and their effects in old age. The study seeks to identify gender-based patterns and inequalities that may contribute to public policy discussions and strategies to improve the quality of life of older adults. Conducted exclusively in Sayausí Parish (Cuenca, Ecuador), the research adheres to high ethical standards through data anonymization and informed consent. The findings indicate that the productive and reproductive roles assumed during the working-age period have a significant and differentiated impact on economic security in old age. In the case of women, most of their time was dedicated to unpaid caregiving work, which limited their access to stable employment and social security. In contrast, men mainly engaged in productive activities that enabled greater economic stability.

Latin America reveals the highest rates of non-reporting of crime worldwide, even more so in countries like Ecuador where non-reporting is recorded in 80% of criminal events. Studies on victims and non-reporting are still scarce and have focused on victimization rates; in addition, there is a theoretical gap on non-reporting from its primary causalities. This study analyzes it from the observation of the socio-demographic profile of the victims and the type of crime perpetrated as influencing factors. Using quantitative research methods, the III Survey of Victimization and Perception of Citizen Security of Cuenca, Ecuador, 2016 was analyzed, which shows a profile of a victim who does not report linked to exclusion, poverty and inequities and a pattern of less reported crimes in thefts, robberies and extortion, factors that must be recognized in order to focus victimological public policy efforts.

Furthermore, of the formal recognition of indigenous people and nationalities as territorial units, they search to claim and enforce their rights in the framework of interculturality. In regards to the planning of these territories there are operational instruments, such is the case of SENPLADES that issues a methodological guide for the elaboration of the plans of development and territorial order for each level of government with general guidelines that can get homogenized to the population outside of this intercultural approach. In the present work seeks to position Ecuador in the fulfillment of this public policy against similar cases within the Andean Community, thus, from an integral point of view, the experiences of countries that go by this path are taken in order to have guidelines on the effectiveness of policies in relation with the operative instruments that effects the rights in the indigenous population.

For this, the methodology used was to calculate the average treatment effect through the estimation of the "Propensity Score Macthing", as it is a non-experimental method that adjusts to the nature of the problem due to the unavailability of information from a student before treatment and after treatment. From the literature consulted it was obtained that school desertion is the result of the influence of factors associated with the composition of the student's home, the relationship he maintains with his parents and the school environment. In order to measure the effect of the treatment of the application of the new educational management model, the probability of desertion of the students who were the object of the relocation of their schools was calculated. The probabilities of deserting are obtained from the estimation of a LOGIT model, whose results will indicate which are the variables that are significant for the case of district 01D06, and the impact that each one has. The results indicate that the time moved to the campus does positively influence the likelihood of dropping out in addition to the hours studied in the day. The results of the treatment effect show a significant impact of relocation on the likelihood of desertion.

The main findings indicate an ideal of rural peasant Good Living in which access to social and economic rights is prioritized; high optimism that is far from the actual conditions; aspirations paradox is evident; political skills and vulnerable materials; territorial brokers of compliance of capabilities.
