Abstract
Socioeconomic disparities in the Cotopaxi Province, Ecuador, have generated internal migration to urban development poles. The study analyzes demographic and quality of life indicators, using data from the Ecuador 2022 Census. A cross-cutting approach was used that considered equal rights, protection from risks, and measures against childish malnutrition.
The illiteracy rate and digital illiteracy revealed educational challenges. The school attendance rate was 42.2% in early education, 94.2% in basic education, and 80.1% in high school.
Poverty, especially in rural areas, reflected a high incidence, affecting access to basic services, health and education. The National Survey on Family Relations and Gender Violence against Women ENVIGMU – NSGVW - revealed rates of violence over 70% in women aged 15 and over, highlighting psychological violence" (National Institute of Statistics and Censuses, 2019).
Based on the findings, it is indicated that recommendations should involve inclusion policies that involve gender, education, health, and economic development. A detailed programme is offered with the aim of eradicating inequality and improving living conditions, which involves strategies to deal with malnourished children as well as sustainable development measures.
