The International comparative studies of social stratification and class mobility are based on class schemes designed for industrialized countries. One such scheme, the EGP scheme developed by Erikson and Goldthorpe, has become a standard in the field. The use of this scheme in other regions of the world, including Latin America, has been crucial for the comparative analysis. However, this scheme may not reflect heterogeneities in the prevailing labor relations in developing countries, where salaried and self-employment occupations are segmented into high and low productivity sectors, with unequal working conditions and remuneration. We propose an adaptation of the EGP scheme to take into account this heterogeneity. Based on this adaptation, subjected to various tests of coherence and empirical homologation, we use data from national household surveys in Latin American and European countries, characterize their class structures and analyze the association between class membership and living conditions. Our results indicate that this modified version of the EGP class scheme improves the characterizations of class structures, as well as our understanding of the structural foundations of poverty and income inequality in Latin America. For this we use household surveys, and a homogeneous codification of the uniform classifier of Occupations to be able to make the comparisons, along with harmonizing variables to develop the analysis.... view less

Los estudios comparativos internacionales de estratificación social y movilidad de clase se basan en esquemas de clase concebidos para países industrializados. Uno de estos esquemas, el esquema EGP desarrollado por Erikson y Goldthorpe, se ha convertido en un estándar en el campo. El uso de este esquema en otras regiones del mundo, incluida América Latina, ha sido crucial para el análisis comparativo. Sin embargo, este esquema puede no reflejar heterogeneidades en las relaciones laborales predominantes en los países en desarrollo, donde las ocupaciones asalariadas y por cuenta propia están segmentadas en sectores de alta y baja productividad, con condiciones de trabajo y remuneración desiguales. Proponemos una adaptación del esquema EGP para tener en cuenta dicha heterogeneidad. Basados en esta adaptación, sometido a diversas pruebas de coherencia y homologación empírica, utilizamos datos de encuestas nacionales de hogares en países latinoamericanos y europeos, caracterizamos sus estructuras de clase y analizamos la asociación entre la pertenencia de clase y las condiciones de vida. Nuestros resultados indican que esta versión modificada del esquema de clase EGP mejora las caracterizaciones de las estructuras de clase, así como nuestra comprensión de los fundamentos estructurales de la pobreza y la desigualdad de ingresos en América Latina. Usamos para ello encuestas de hogares, y una codificación homogénea del clasificador uniforme de Ocupaciones para poder realizar las comparaciones, junto con armonizar variables para desarrollar el análisis.... view less
