El desempleo y el emprendimiento en las familias de la parroquia Benítez del Cantón Pelileo

Abstract

This research is aimed at investigating the influence of unemployment that leads to entrepreneurship in the families of the Benitez parish of the Pelileo canton. Methodologically, it is considered that this study has a quantitative and qualitative approach through the application of interviews and surveys previously designed and validated by experts related to the subject. When considering unemployment as the greatest social drama of our time, it was possible to identify that 80% of the population feels positive about the future despite being unemployed, while 97% say that entrepreneurship is a activity that helps meet financial and family needs. It is observed with the qualitative analysis that entrepreneurship allows generating employment, being the head of one's own business and having financial independence. The inference made proves that going through a situation of unemployment has influenced the generation of entrepreneurship, which is why the parish GAD is suggested to create strategies to enhance economic activities. In addition, the statistical evidence affirms that adequate remuneration and maintaining a good planning of expenses positively influences the emotional stability of individuals for decision-making.
