Comercio informal y su contribución con el desarrollo socioeconómico de la ciudad de Esmeraldas. periodo 2021-2022

Informal trade includes small businesses or artisanal activities that have their origin in the high unemployment of the countries, in which people have to earn a living in one way or another. For this reason, they have their workplace on the street or in small improvised positions, which generates some problems for the city administration and for citizens in general. This sector can contribute to the development of the entire economy, if the State or cities manage to plan, control and direct an adequate public policy. The present research is based on a study to know what contribution this type of commerce generates in the city of Esmeraldas. For this purpose, the general objective was established to evaluate the contribution of informal commerce to the socioeconomic development of the city of Esmeraldas.
