Análisis del incremento constante del salario básico en Ecuador, su justificación, y su incidencia en los distintos sectores de la economía ecuatoriana.

Abstract

In Ecuador, the unified basic salary has maintained an upward trend in recent years, the salary policy used focuses on worker protection in agreement to inflation variations. However, it can be seen that despite the fact that inflation often does not suffer any variation, the salary continues its tendency to increase in the same way. In turn, there is little information regarding the variations of the minimum wage by the State, this has led to the existence of major problems within the productive sector of Ecuador, evidencing that there is a serious ignorance of the State about the reality that the business sector is experiencing. This research will seek to determine the effect of 3 increasing the S.B.U. in Ecuador over time, as well as to demonstrate the reasons for said increase, and if there is a proper justification for it, based on a theoretical analysis. It is mainly concluded that it is necessary to take into account the opinion of the industry and production chambers to vary the minimum wage; as well as a report that justifies a change in the minimum remuneration must be publicly disclosed, complementing with the expected results of said variation. The inclusion of important variables such as the cost of labor at the regional level, the impact of a change to the S.B.U on production and how this will affect both the formal and informal labor market, will be key to a more controlled variation that benefits the economy.
