Ecuador: social investment translates into achievements

Ecuadorian economic policies under President Rafael Correa have resulted in huge advances for the population and there is less inequality thanks to social investment. Such social investment now represents 15% of GDP, a four fold increase since 2006. In addition, over 1.100 million Ecuadorians no longer live in poverty, and the percentage of the economically active population enrolled in the social security and health care system has increased from 26% to 43%.
