Abstract
Several studies carried out both internationally (Breen, 2004, Erikson and Goldthorpe, 2002, Hout and DiPrete, 2006) and regionally (Solís and Boado, 2016) have reached a broad consensus that postulates, among several aspects, the persistent association between origins and class destinations, as well as similar levels of social fluidity. Specifically for the local case, the recent contributions in the field (Benza, 2012, Dalle, 2016, Jorrat, 2016, Pla, 2016, Quartulli, 2016), have allowed defining the features assumed by mobility in the current Argentine social structure: rigidization of the class structure, recomposition of the working class, predominance of short-distance mobility, validity of educational attainment as a mechanism of social promotion, among others.
On the other hand, various contributions have been made from the study of class structure, as an explanatory and structuring factor of various dimensions of social inequality. Some investigations show the reversal of certain tendencies among social classes based on the change in the accumulation model that occurred in the 2000s: an increase in the skilled working class, the routine middle class and professionals (Benza, 2012 Fachelli, 2013). These works show a process of diminishing the distance between social classes, measured from the perceived income, as a correlate of the continuous shrinking of social inequality throughout the period (Benza, 2012, Chávez Molina and Sacco, 2015; Dalle, 2012, Fachelli, 2013, Maceira, 2016, Pla, Rodríguez de la Fuente, and Sacco, 2018).
In this way, in this thesis we try to put into dialogue both traditions (studies of social mobility and class analysis) in order to understand the way in which social origins could account for the inequalities around living conditions. We start with the investigation of the link between the different intergenerational trajectories of class (as possible combinations between origins and class destinations) and the unequal access to various assets and resources that are constitutive of the material well-being of households. Also, compared to the specificity of other studies that analyze the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) as a whole, this thesis proposes a "spatial cut" on the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), due to its characteristics and its own dynamics that differentiate it from the rest of the agglomerate, converting it into a "middle class city" (Benza, 2016). The temporary cut will cover the period 2004-2015, representative of what has been called the "modelo neodesarrollista". As dimensions of material well-being, we will study the level of monetary income, access to home ownership and the level of consumption of households.
Theoretically, we start from a class approach of "relational" type, synthesis of neo-Weberian and neo-Marxist approaches, considering that society is structured around social classes in a system of interdependence (Pla, 2013) and constituted mainly in the economic sphere. We empirically measured the concept of class by operationalizing the proposal elaborated by Torrado from the reconstruction of the nomenclature of the socio-occupational position for the study of the Argentine social structure (CFI, 1989, Ipola and Torrado, 1976, Sacco, 2016, Torrado , 1992, 1998).
The methodological approach proposed in this thesis is specifically quantitative, using various data sources depending on the objectives of the work and the limitations that are presented: Survey of Social Mobility and Opinions of the Current Society (2012-2013), Annual Survey of Households (2004-2015), National Survey of Household Expenditures (2004-2005) and National Survey on Social Structure (2014-2015). The statistical techniques used are diverse, according to the specific objectives and the nature of the variables used: analysis of contingency and mobility tables, log-linear regressions, linear regressions, logistic regressions and multiple correspondence analysis.
