“…Dans la mesure où les inégalités entre individus ou groupes sociaux sont toujours fondées sur des différences dans la possession d'attributs valorisés et que, dans le contexte d'une « économie de marché » et d'une « société du savoir » (Da Costa et al, 2018), c'est l'inégale distribution des ressources économiques et des ressources culturelles qui structure l'espace des positions sociales (Bourdieu, 1979 ;Savage et al, 1992 ;Savage et al, 2013 ;Savage, 2015 ;Flemmen, 2014 ;Atkinson et Deeming, 2015 ;Waitkus et Groh-Samberg, 2017 ;Flemmen et al, 2018 ;Waitkus et Groh-Samberg, 2019), nous avons fait le choix de nous focaliser sur les niveaux de revenu et de diplôme qui s'associent aux différentes catégories des nomenclatures. Outre le fait qu'il s'agit là de ressources pour lesquelles l'enquête Emploi fournit des données, les revenus et les diplômes apparaissent en effet fondamentalement attachés au statut professionnel 8 : de fait, on sait très bien qu'en France, les professions occupées par les individus dépendent fortement des diplômes qu'ils et elles possèdent (Salais, 1970 ;Millet et Moreau, 2011) et qu'il existe par ailleurs un lien ténu entre professions et revenus (Gonzalez et Sueur, 2020).…”

Bringing to light income and diploma inequalities. On the ‘stratificationist’ efficiency of the PCS Classification, the ESeG classification and the Employment class schema. Occupational classifications are among the main tools for objectivizing the structure of a society and they are sometimes used to grasp the inequalities within it. This paper aims at offering several indicators designed to assess occupational classifications’ ability to shed light on the unequal distribution of resources between social groups. Three classifications are here studied: the French PCS-2003 and the French Employment class schema from INSEE and the European ESeG classification. After recalling their principles and objectives, we lay down the usual procedures used to assess occupational classifications and we show that they don’t aim to grasp their ability to reflect social stratification. Using fractiles, which are commonly-used tool for analysing inequalities, we then offer two sets of indicators designed to assess the occupational classifications’ efficiency to reflect the slope, the shape and the extent of the inequalities in a population. Using these tools and data from the 2017 French Labour Force Survey, we show that at the aggregate level of the classifications studied, it is the four Employment class schema that best captures the unequal distribution of income and diplomas between population groups, whereas at the detailed level, it is rather the PCS. We finally put forward proposals for recomposing some of the categories of the PCS and the Employment class schema so as to make these classifications more efficient to reflect social stratification.

Class analysis is intimately linked to the very development and consolidation of Portuguese sociology after the Carnation Revolution. Throughout the last decades, different research programmes assessed the nature and extent of class inequalities, drawing on Marxist, Weberian and functionalist paradigms. After a highly productive and intensely debated phase, a syncretic and compact approach prevailed. While this approach captures relevant features of class inequality, its current version overshadows critical aspects of difference and misrecognition in the social space in Portugal. From an analysis of occupational, qualifications and income data, we first propose a scheme of class fractions, which draws on the relational and multidimensional approach to class originally proposed by Bourdieu and recently taken up in European sociology. Using multiple correspondence analysis and nationally representative datasets, we demonstrate the validity of this tool for studying class and linkages to fields and its potential for replication in further statistical and qualitative research.

“…Apesar da modernização económica e social da sociedade portuguesa, diferentemente do que aconteceu na Europa a industrialização portuguesa, tardia e parcial, não só conservou durante décadas uma enorme proporção de famílias ligadas à agricultura, como não proporcionou a base económica e social para um crescimento e diversificação das atividades terciárias semelhantes à dos países plenamente industrializados. (Machado e Costa, 1998, p. 33) Estes constrangimentos refletem-se na estrutura social portuguesa, que se mantém ainda bastante carenciada de qualificações escolares e profissionais, evidenciadas na evolução da distribuição das classes sociais em Portugal (Costa, Mauritti, Martins, Machado e Almeida, 2002;Costa, Machado e Almeida, 2009;Costa, Mauritti, Martins, Nunes e Romão, 2018;Mauritti e Nunes, 2013).…”

Como aferir e monitorizar desigualdades sociais na sociedade portuguesa contemporânea, nomeadamente à escala regional? Os debates científicos contemporâneos apelam para que as problemáticas das desigualdades e do desenvolvimento se aproximem entre si. Este artigo pretende ser um contributo para a compreensão das relações entre estas problemáticas, considerando as desigualdades sociais do país, as suas assimetrias regionais e as desvantagens específicas dos territórios de baixa densidade. Para o efeito, analisamos como a demografia, a educação, o emprego, as classes sociais e a saúde estão associadas a desigualdades sociais entre as regiões do território nacional. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para a persistência, na sociedade portuguesa, de processos de desenvolvimento desiguais à escala regional e no que diz respeito aos territórios de baixa densidade.
