abstract: 'Formal education represents one of the main determining factors in
poverty reduction. Different authors remark the relationship between
knowledge, incomes increase, and living standards. It represents a
crucial factor in an individual socioeconomic situation at present and
in the future. The main characteristics of development include:
education, health and economy, which are important factors in the
achievement of sustainable social development. In this line, the United
Nations Millennium Development Goals (UNMDG-2000) and the Sustainable
Development Objectives agenda highlights the need of promoting universal
education not only as an objective, but also as a means to reduce
poverty since it is considered as an investment that contributes to the
economic growth, social development and reduction of inequality. In
Ecuador, these objectives have been developed under the National Plan
for Well-being. According to its executors, it has achieved remarkable
results in the majority of its objectives and goals, including the
increase of the basic education coverage.
This descriptive and correlational research is aimed at determining the
Ecuadorian (5-75 years old) perception of education and poverty.
Socio-demographic characteristics marked by its condition of being or
not are analyzed in order to identify the peculiarities and differences
between these two groups and relate them to the development objectives
set by the government.
The Employment, Underemployment, and Unemployment Survey (ENEMDU 2015) -
INEC has been taken as a reference in the study, and it is important to
mention that it uses standardized variables of the ILO International
Labour Organization, thus making the results comparable internationally.
The analyzed variables are: age, racial group, language, educational
attainment, attendance, school day, educational establishment, activity
and inactivity condition, computer and technological Access, natural
region, state assistance, among others.
The most important results obtained in the research include the gap
between the attendance and the achievements according to the educational
attainment. The poor show a major percentage of attendance and better
results regarding the culmination of their study period in basic and
primary school. However, in middle and higher education, this percentage
is higher among non-poor people. The former situation can be influenced
by the state assistance and public policies implemented such as the free
distribution of school uniforms and lunch, as well as other benefits
given by the public institutions. The second major result is the fact
that most of these poor people belong to certain ethnic groups such as:
indigenous, afro-ecuadorian, black, mulatto, and montubio.
Based on these results, it seems that public policies which focused on
improving access to education of the poor population show encouraging
results in basic and primary education. However, they also show the
existing inequity in higher levels of education between mestizos and
white and other ethnic minority groups.'
