The present study describes the social and educational characteristics of the Ecuadorian Amazon population. For this purpose, the data obtained from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment of 2014 was used in this research. A descriptive statistical analysis presents the frequency, the percentages and the graphs of the variables related to the area in which people live, gender, age, ethnic self-identification, language spoken, marital status and level of instruction. Other variables are the use of computer and internet, place of birth, reason why they live in the Amazon region, type of activity or inactivity, how do they feel in their jobs, and groups of occupation. Also, a factorial analysis was used to show the main and most important criteria of differentiation and the the clusters of people with similar characteristics.

For more than two decades, Ecuadorian environmentalists and their international allies have opposed fossil fuel extraction in the Amazonian lowlands of eastern Ecuador. A broad narrative surrounding the campaign against oil drilling in eastern Ecuador holds that multinational firms -- not an Ecuadorian institution -- are solely responsible for the adverse consequences resulting from petroleum development. In this article, the broad narrative about petroleum development in the Ecuadorian Amazon is critiqued by analyzing the narratives three constituent hypotheses. The first of these is that the country was entirely dominated by foreign firms. The second hypothesis is that the vast majority of Ecuadorians benefited little or not at all from petroleum development. The third is that environmental trade-offs in the Oriente were decided by multinational actors, not the Ecuadorian government. Adapted from the source document.
