Influence Of Gender and Domestic Violence Against Women on Job Performance In 2020

Abstract

The high percentage of declining work performance of women in the city of Santo Domingo is directly related to the alarming rise in interfamily abuse. Gender violence in Ecuador and Latin America, as well as in the rest of the world, has been a problem as old as the constitution of societies themselves. From 2017 onwards, Ecuador has carried out some concrete actions that seek to stop gender violence and its consequences. Beyond the denaturalization of this social problem, the causes and consequences that have generated gender violence in Ecuador against women must be contextualized. Specifically, the consequences that result in the productive and labor activities of women, which contribute to the economic development of the country. This research uses a quantitative approach to measure the impact of gender violence on job performance. The historical gap in the obtention of job positions between men and women, both in the formal and informal sectors, has been significant. Only 26.4% of the 3.3 million women who are part of the economically active population (EAP) in Ecuador held full-time jobs.
