Análisis de la explotación laboral en el ecuador caso FURUKAWA

Abstract

This article will thoroughly analyze the issue of labor exploitation in Ecuador, using as a reference ruling number 1072-21-JP/24 from the Constitutional Court, related to the FURUKAWA case. This ruling will serve as a basis for assessing the preventive measures that competent authorities must adopt to ensure compliance with labor rights and address the systematic violation of these rights by certain employers in the country. Historically, Ecuador's high poverty and unemployment rates have forced a significant portion of the population to accept precarious working conditions, characterized by injustice and inequality. This reality has enabled some employers to take advantage of workers' vulnerability, offering them jobs in deplorable conditions, with low wages and without the minimum legal guarantees. Given this situation, it is essential to examine concrete measures that strengthen labor protection and ensure a decent working environment for all citizens.
