“…However, the explained measures produced an improvement in certain labor market macro indicators. More workers entered the social security system, which is particularly noteworthy when comparing it with other Central Andean countries (Minteguiaga and Ubasart-Gonz alez, 2021). Also, recent studies (produced between 2006 and register an important decrease in the time spent on paid laborgoing from an average of 44 h a week to 39 hwhich indicates a shift toward a less precarious labor context (Ram ırez, 2019, pp.…”

“…The extension of coverage and services produced greater public policy efficiency. In comparison to similar countries, like Bolivia and Peru, the advancement of these indicators in Ecuador is quite rapid (Minteguiaga and Ubasart-Gonz alez, 2021).

“…The latter largely depended on the prevalent political views within the executive branch and, above all, its capacity to transform political aspirations into tangible public policies. The capacity to guide and plan public policies in Ecuador is fundamental to explain its relative success (Minteguiaga and Ubasart-González, 2021) (Figure 3).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relation between estate transformations produced during the governments of the Citizen Revolution (CR) in Ecuador (2007-2017) and welfare regime transformations.Design/methodology/approachThe CR’s project registers an array of specificities that make it a relevant case study to understand it. Among them, it articulated the transformation of the development model with a comprehensive state reform: emphasized both the modernization of the state and the productive structure, and the creation of the basic pillars of a welfare state. The ambitious project materialized in an ambivalent manner, revealing accomplishments and limitations.FindingsThe recovery of resources for the state, the efficient organization of resources, decentralization and deconcentration processes, public administration transformations and policy de-corporatization processes accompanied and even propelled important achievements in the social sphere in terms of decommodification, stratification, commodification and defamiliarization. Ecuador’s starting point, as a small and impoverished country with pubic and communal goods and services dismantled through neoliberal reforms, was quite precarious. But, progress was made. Beyond the identified limitations, its accomplishments must be highlighted because they are novel in comparison to other progressive government experiences, especially in the context of Central Andean countries.Originality/valueThis article vindicates the need to link state transformation processes to welfare regime transformations, as well as the academic literature that informs both fields. The description of what took place in Ecuador in the field of social welfare during the ten years of the CR continues to confirm the theoretical potential of the concept of welfare regime with the necessary translations and appropriations that allow for the analysis of countries in the region. It enables an approach to a more theoretically and methodologically elusive object that is at the same time tremendously potent in analytical terms and in its contributions to social transformations. An object that alludes to areas gravely affected during neoliberal hegemony, linked to public institutionality, state capacity and state autonomy. This is why everything that affects the state and the management of public goods and services must be incorporated into the analysis.

“…El sistema de salud es uno de los pilares fundamentales para garantizar el bienestar y la calidad de vida en cualquier país. En el caso del Ecuador, a pesar que se han hecho avances significativos en los últimos años, persisten deficiencias administrativas y hospitalarias que limitan su funcionamiento eficiente (Minteguiaga & Ubasart-González, 2021). Estas deficiencias generan desafíos al acceso equitativo a la atención médica, comprometiendo así tanto la calidad como los servicios ofrecidos por dicha institución; lo cual impide una mejora continua del sistema (Aprile et al, 2023).…”
