Challenges of the state in the development of socioeconomic competencies of families in the coastal area of El Salvador

Abstract

Various studies have been carried out to determine the strategies to be implemented in the coastal zone of our country, which show the need for public, private and foreign investment to improve the socioeconomic conditions of the population of the coastal zone. The objective of this research was to outline the socioeconomic dynamics of the families of the area that reside in the Salvadoran coastal areas, identifying the different labor practices of the families.To carry out the study, a survey was carried out with a sample made up of 1810 families, where one member per family was interviewed. The results showed income levels lower than the agricultural salary of $ 200.00, established for 2017, so it can be said that their economic situation has not improved in recent years due to little state support through poverty reduction programs . This study reflects that there is a relationship between the lack of credit approval and productive activities in the area. Many families have not received any loan from the financial system, an alarming figure that tells us that seven out of ten businesses in the area are not investing in improving services or facilities The State must take on the challenge of implementing comprehensive and sustainable development strategies in the marine coastal strip that impacts on the socioeconomic conditions of the population.
