Caja de integración salarial y la sostenibilidad de la estabilidad laboral y económica en época de crisis en el Ecuador

Abstract

The research that is carried out, exposes the theme and functionality of the Italian economic system called: "Wage Integration Fund", as a method to guarantee workers' rights and labor sustainability in times of national crisis; subsequently developing a comparative analysis between Italian legislation, which has such a system in place in cases of national recession; and Ecuadorian legislation, which does not have preventive planning for the same circumstance; the economic crisis generated by the Covid-19 virus pandemic has been taken as an example, to determine the degree of effectiveness of the application of the wage integration fund in Italian legislation and the effectiveness of the labor measures implemented by the Ecuadorian government during the same scenario of national crisis, both with the aim of promoting labor sustainability and the rights of the private worker in each nation. The methodology used is of an observatory nature, with a qualitative approach regarding the collection of documentary information, allowing to determine the conceptualization, functionality and the way in which the salary integration box guarantees labor sustainability; and a quantitative approach developed through interviews and surveys to determine the effectiveness of labor measures implemented by the government in the absence of a system such as the wage integration fund to promote labor sustainability. Concluding that the wage integration fund would be an ideal system to be implemented in Ecuadorian legislation, to better guarantee the rights of the worker in periods of national crisis.
