SACCO, Nicolás. Social structure of Argentina, 1976-2011. Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.25-51. ISSN 1514-6871.

Context: despite accumulated knowledge about social classes in Argentina using multiple approaches and based on different data sources, there are not known studies that start from an aggregate point of view, using population censuses, to allow the continuation of the historical series of analysis of Germani-Torrado. Objective: to complement, continue and update studies of social structure from a global and long-term perspective. Sources: population censuses from 1980 to 2010 and Permanent Household Survey. Method: update of the classification scheme of social classes of Torrado. Results: the information constructed shows significant changes in the class structure under the period of analysis, in the different universes of observation, differentials in both regions and in real cohorts and in the long term. There was a decrease in Middle classes between 1980 and 1991 and its stagnation in 2001 and a continuous decrease in the Working class throughout the period 1980-2001, with a concomitant growth of Marginal workers. With the little evidence available, these trends are reversed by 2010.
