“…Current situation of paralysis of the Ecuadorian economy, those most affected are, on the one hand, the selfemployed who have seen a significant decrease in their income and, on the other hand, those who engaged in the service sector (tourism). These results align with what was expected and found in other similar studies since the distancing measures, and the stay-at-home order to contain the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly affected economic activity in general [38].…”

In recent years, tourism in Ecuador has increased exponentially. The city of Puerto Lopez has shown unusual growth. This study is based on a comparison of the situation of the Ecuadorian town before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this primary objective, three specific goals were set out: 1) To analyze the perception that tourists have of the Canton of Puerto Lopez. 2) To examine the influence that tourism has on the local economy. 3) To study the impact of the pandemic on tourism development in the region. To achieve these objectives, quantitative research was carried out based on two surveys on perceptions of tourism activity. One was carried out before the arrival of Covid and the other after the pandemic. They are complemented by the collection of data from official statistics and stakeholder interviews. The main results also reveal opportunities for the tourism sector of Puerto López if we relate it to the SDGs_2030, as there is room for improvement in its current tourism model, and it can be made more sustainable from a social, economic and environmental point of view.

“…Future research should combine our approach with one that accounts for different periods to analyze the interaction between gender, age and time use, not only across countries, but also over recent decades by considering cohort and period effects [18,43]. For example, recent studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns reveal persistent time use differences between women and men due to the new responsibilities derived from the COVID-19 emergency and temporary closure of schools [44,45]. Future studies will be able to cover these more recent years in relation to the age and gender interactions in time use allocation across countries.…”

This study uses largescale cross-national time-diary data from the Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS) (N = 201,972) covering the period from 2005 to 2015 to examine gender differences in time use by age groups. The study compares ten industrialized countries across Asia, Europe, and North America. In all ten countries, gender differences in time use are smaller in personal care, sleeping and meals, followed by leisure time (including screen-based leisure and active leisure), and largest in housework, care work and paid work activities. Gender disparities in time use are higher in South Korea, Hungary, and Italy, followed closely by Spain, with moderate gender gaps in Western European countries like France and Netherlands, and lowest differences in Finland and Anglo-Saxon countries, including Canada, US, and the UK. Gender differences in housework and caring time increase from adolescence (10–17 years) to early adulthood (18–29 years), showing strong gender gaps in early/middle adulthood (30–44 years), but narrow again during late adulthood (65 years or older). However, the age gradient in care work and housework is most pronounced in Italy and South Korea, being less prominent in Canada and Finland. Gender gaps in paid work are larger in early/middle adulthood (30–44) and middle/late adulthood (45–64), with strongest age gradients observed in the Netherlands and weaker gradients for the US. Gender differences in active leisure increase by age, especially in Southern European countries, while screen-based leisure shows more stable gender gaps by age groups across different countries. Overall, this study shows that age and gender intersect strongly in affecting time-use patterns, but also that the national context plays an important role in shaping gender-age interactions in time use allocation.

“…Por otro lado, las preocupaciones se dirigían a cuestionar un modelo de atención residencial a las personas mayores que concentró en los tres primeros meses de pandemia en torno a 20.000 muertes (Comas-Herrera et al, 2020;Grupo de Trabajo Covid y Residencias, 2020;Moré, 2020). Por último, las dificultades para conciliar debido al cierre de los centros educativos y el desarrollo de la tele-educación y el teletrabajo generaron una oleada de debates y discursos sobre el emergente modelo de conciliación y la sobrecarga que éste provoca en las mujeres (Borràs y Moreno, 2020; Benlloch y Aguado, 2020; Farré et al, 2020;Seiz, 2020).…”

Este artículo analiza el impacto que tuvo la crisis de la COVID-19 en el sector del empleo del hogar. El objetivo principal reside en reflexionar sobre la relación existente entre las consecuencias coyunturales provocadas por la crisis socio-sanitaria y las formas estructurales de valoración y funcionamiento de este sector. Para ello, se analiza la evolución de la contratación en este sector durante los primeros meses de la pandemia así como las iniciativas de protección legislativa y socio-sanitaria puestas en marcha para las trabajadoras de este ámbito laboral. A pesar de su relevancia, las medidas adoptadas por parte de las administraciones públicas fueron tardías e incompletas, provocando un progresivo reposicionamiento de los cuidados en los márgenes de la prioridad social.
