    La contratación informal en las mujeres de la parroquia Paccha de la Provincia del Azuay
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-12) Orellana Mendoza, Andrea Carolina; Cabrera Prado, Juan Carlos
    This research analyzes the dynamic characteristics and consequences of informal employment among the female population in the parish of Paccha, located in the Azuay province, to understand how labor relations outside legal regulations impact their living conditions, stability, and labor rights. Through the implementation of a combination of qualitative and exploratory research methods, data were collected via interviews and surveys with informal female workers, as well as through a review of relevant documentation and labor statistics. This approach enabled the examination of the judicialization of cases related to informal employment. The results reveal that women in Paccha face precarious working conditions, with low wages and a lack of social benefits, negatively impacting their economic and social well-being. These adverse conditions affect their physical and mental health, access to education, and overall family welfare, perpetuating cycles of poverty and social exclusion. The research also found that few cases of informal employment are brought to justice due to barriers such as a lack of knowledge about labor rights, fear of reprisals, and distrust in the judicial system.
