Abstract

The purpose of this study consisted on establishing the incidence of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the Employment Rate of Ecuador in the period 2007-2014 and was based on the indicators issued by the Central Bank of Ecuador and the INEC. This research was of a correlational type, it was done through a simple linear regression, where it was evidenced
that the FDI does not affect the Employment Rate by economic activity, in the later it wasconstructed an econometric model with the variables: GDP, Real Salary And FDI. The results showed that only GDP and Real Salary are statistically significant with respect to the Employment Rate, determining that FDI as the only regressive variable was not a determinant
factor in Employment during the established period.
