Abstract: Among the main causes that are considered when explaining the uncontrolled expansion of COVID-19 in Ecuador, is the lack of compliance with the population isolation established by the government. With this background, the following question was raised: why does the population disobey the confinement measures despite the risks that this implies? The purpose of the study provides elements for reflection and action in the face of this type of crisis, mainly public. Methodologically, the research used documentary analysis, prioritizing official and normative statistical data related to the social and labor context of people with incomes below the minimum wage. The study concluded that the vulnerable population, due to material conditions, could not comply with the decreed measures of social confinement. The absence of public policies aimed at mitigating unemployment and underemployment affect the living conditions of Ecuadorians, especially the case of Guayaquil.
