    (Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2024-08) Santo Guanoluisa, Kerlin Dayana; Altamirano Carrasco, Rina Sofia
    Despite the fact that older adults belong to the priority attention group due to their vulnerable condition in Ecuador, they often face several barriers to access their rights. The objective of this research focuses on analyzing the application of affirmative actions that guarantee the rights of older adults. The methodology followed a qualitative approach based on the collection of information through primary and secondary sources, the method used was analytical since it was an in-depth research and deductive since it starts from the general and the particular, the type of research was documentary, historical, descriptive. The information was obtained through the interview technique and the instrument applied was the interview guide directed to professionals involved in the rights of older adults and affirmative actions in the canton of Ambato. The results showed that the interviewees identified a series of violated rights, as well as the barriers that older adults face in exercising their rights, such as discrimination, prejudices and negative stereotypes about old age and lack of knowledge of their rights. It is concluded that the application of affirmative actions in favor of older adults seeks to compensate for disadvantages and inequalities in order to achieve equality of conditions and guarantee the full exercise of their rights. These rights are recognized by a solid legal framework that seeks to guarantee their exercise within the framework of priority and specialized attention, and are protected by international instruments that ensure the recognition, full enjoyment and exercise of these rights under equal conditions. There are affirmative actions in favor of the elderly that guarantee fundamental rights, but there is still a great shortage of affirmative actions for other rights

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato,Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2022-05) Panchi De Jesús, Erick Ariel; Espín Meléndez, María Cristina
    The present study is part of the "Integrating project to improve the quality of life of the elderly in the locality of Tisaleo" where its main objective is to analyze citizen participation in the construction of social policies for the elderly in this locality. Thus, the importance of this research lies in the fact that, despite the existence of a broad normative framework regarding the rights of participation, the incidence in the elaboration of social policies is minimal. The methodology employed follows a mixed level of research, descriptive, correlational and explanatory, with a non-experimental design. The data was obtained through the design and application of surveys to older adults and interviews to specialists and public officials linked to the protection of the rights of older adults. Consequently, it is concluded that citizen participation influences the construction of social policies for older adults; however, the absence of spaces for participation, the lack of political will of the authorities and public institutions, added to the lack of knowledge of the Law, causes the failure to generate concerted social policies based on the social reality.
