Calidad de vida de los NNA trabajadores autónomos de Tungurahua

Abstract

Quality of life comprises the way in which each person tries to shape it from functional welfare. Childhood is the baseline to build and continue building up a good life quality. In this process multiple factors are converging to lead to a particular way of being a child and teenager with their own problems and expectations derived from the contexts in which they build their biographies. A mainly quantitative and qualitative methodology was used to carry out this research. Through this research it was possible to determinate data and positive-negative qualities that allowed to review the quality of life and its impact on the NNA. A previously validated survey created by PAHO and WHO was used as an instrument. The quality of life results of this research do not respond to deprivation, deprivation or unsatisfied basic needs, which are one of the marginal ways of measuring life. This would only have perpetuated the phenomenon of poverty. On the contrary, it was analyzed from an objective focus, how these particularities of different situations respond to historical and social processes. From a multidimensional approach it has been found that, even with all the economic, health, social and cultural constraints, these cannot be considered as the only explanatory factor. Due to the coping strategies that people generate and that produce functional well-being depending on what they have or do not have.
