Um Ekvador
Ecuador is a country in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Ecuador also includes the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific, about 1,000 kilometers (621 mi) west of the mainland. The population of the country is 18 million and the GDP per capita is USD 5,590. The country's capital and biggest city is Quito. Entrepreneurs in Ecuador face a lack of capital and limited access to financing, which hinders their growth. Additionally, economic instability and rising insecurity create further challenges. For households, the main issues are unstable working conditions due to temporary contracts and the lack of formal employment, which reduces financial security and increases social vulnerability.
