Summary: The popular and solidarity economic sector is organized in such a way that it includes the organizations of the Popular and Solidarity Economy (EPS) and the Popular and Solidarity Financial Sector (SFPS). The economy is the plurality of actors that make it up, including the cooperative, associative and community sectors. These institutions focus their activities on the basis of a relationship of solidarity, cooperation and reciprocity, placing the human being as the subject and purpose of all economic activity over profit, competition and capital accumulation. The cooperative is a society of legally constituted people who come together in order to solve common needs; They are self-managed associations, even in cooperatives the decision-making process and property ownership belong to all the associates in an equitable way. It differs from traditional organizations because instead of being private, it is collectively owned. This article describes and compares different literatures on the Impact of the popular and solidarity economy in the Ecuadorian cooperative sector. To do this, this information is collected from different bibliographic sources acquired from databases (SCOPUS, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar), assessing the quality and veracity of the information collected, as well as the timeliness of the content. Talking about the impact of the popular and solidarity economy can have several nuances, if we analyze it in the aspect of stimulating the most disadvantaged sectors, of course it has had a positive impact, since when the Organic Law of Popular and Solidarity Economy was created (LOEPS ), paved the way for many Ecuadorians to dare to organize themselves in order to generate more income for them in a more organized way and in turn offer goods and services to society. In the cases of transport cooperatives mentioned in this research, it could be concluded that the popular and solidarity economy has had a positive impact on the sector, since the income of the members and consequently of their families has increased, as well as the investment for its own cooperative, and good financial management, thanks to the training plans of the Ecuadorian State for cooperative members.
