POY, Santiago. Labor heterogeneity and processes of impoverishment in Argentinian households (2003-2017). Prob. Des [online]. 2020, vol.51, n.201, pp.3-28.  Epub 09-Nov-2020. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2020.201.69486.

The persistence of high poverty levels in Latin America, after a decade of retraction, brings the issue back to the center of the regional social agenda. This paper examines various factors that reproduce poverty, based on the Argentinian case. Using a quantitative design and multivariate techniques, this study explores the effects of structural heterogeneity of occupational systems in household economic reproduction under different political-economic phases. The results demonstrate the persistence of marked inequalities in occupational structure -even after a period of high growth- and the rigidity of the employment income distribution pattern. The heterogeneity of the occupational structure determines the reproductive capacities of households and causes selective processes of impoverishment.

Palavras-chave : poverty; household reproduction; structural heterogeneity; income distribution; occupational structure.
