    • Abstract:
      La presente investigación aborda la estratificación de ingresos por clase social y género en la población trabajadora española, desde el año 2006 al 2019. A través del Índice S de Zhou (2012) se mide el nivel de estratificación por grupos, informando acerca de si la clase social y el género afectan a la distribución de ingresos. Los datos provienen de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Como principales resultados destacamos: la vinculación entre clase social e ingresos persiste; se aprecia una reducción en la estratificación de ingresos por género tras la crisis; y se observa una mayor polarización de ingresos en el grupo de mujeres. La principal aportación al campo es emplear un índice de estratificación de ingresos frente a los clásicos estudios de desigualdad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      This study addresses income stratification by social class and gender in Spain's working class population from 2006 to 2019. Zhou's (2012) S Index measures the level of stratification by groups, determining whether social class and gender affect income distribution. Data were provided by the Living Conditions Survey of the Spanish National Institute of Statistics. The following main results were found: the link between social class and income persists; following the crisis, a reduction took place in income stratification based on gender; and greater polarization of income occurs in the female group. As a main contribution to the field of study, this work relies on an income stratification index in contrast to the classic inequality studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
