Abstract
In Ecuador, as well as in Latin America and other developing countries, one of the factors that contributes to a large mass of poverty is the structure of employment. The objective of the research is to describe the access to protection and access to services of women workers in the urban informal sector of the Milagro canton. The applied methodology is mixed, the target population is made up of working women from the Urban Informal Sector of the city of Milagro and its area of influence. The sample is non-random and of convenience made up of 267 workers. The technique applied is the survey, for which a questionnaire with closed questions was designed and applied. In general, the informal workers of the Milagro canton and area of influence are in a situation of social exclusion as they are excluded from the enjoyment of services that constitute rights that contribute to Good Living as indicated in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. Due to the above, they are mostly part of the multidimensional poverty statistics. This problem is not temporary, it is structural in nature that will not be solved by simple measures in the short term. Its solution requires major changes in the economic and social policy of Ecuador. This will require long-term public and private action, based on a substantive boost to the quality of education, investment in basic services infrastructure and, above all, promoting business initiative with the support of services for its strengthening.
