    This paper is an investigation on the right to a decent quality of life for domestic workers in Guaranda canton, Bolivar province. Its main objective is to analyze how this right is fulfilled among these workers, who are in a situation of vulnerability and labor exploitation. Given that their place of work is the homes of the citizens of Guaranda, control is difficult, which facilitates the continuous violation of their labor rights and prevents them from satisfying their basic needs to achieve a dignified life. In addition, this research seeks to determine the specific labor regime of domestic workers, identifying the main gaps between legislation and actual practice, and proposing measures to eliminate these gaps and improve their quality of life. The research, carried out using a non-experimental design and a mixed methodological approach, included three interviews with labor experts and 100 surveys of members of a union of domestic workers in Guaranda canton. The findings reveal a significant violation of their labor rights, reflecting insufficient control by the competent authorities. The workers do not receive the fourteenth salary or the thirteenth salary, lack insurance, are not granted paid vacations, are not paid for overtime, and the mandatory breaks established by law are not respected, which undermines labor rights recognized in the Constitution and international treaties. This situation affects both women workers and their families, underscoring the need to implement policies and actions to ensure fair and dignified working conditions in the domestic sector. This problem shows how the work environment in private homes makes it difficult to monitor and regulate effectively, allowing domestic workers to continue in a state of exploitation and vulnerability. The results of the research seek to serve as a basis for developing policies that promote equity and protection of labor rights, improving the quality of life of domestic workers and their families
