Queremos trabajar: predictores psicosociales de la evaluación de la desigualdad en Centroamérica | Convergencia Revista de Ciencias Sociales
La desigualdad económica es una de las mayores deudas de Centroamérica. En este artículo describimos la evaluación de una de las más preocupantes expresiones de la desigualdad en la región, así como las variables psicosociales asociadas. Se hace uso de la base de datos del Latinobarómetro (2020), en la cual participan seis países centroamericanos. Se analizó una muestra de 2,681 participantes (edad promedio = 37.72 años, DE = 15.46, 49.04% mujeres). La expresión más preocupante de desigualdad percibida por las personas en la región es la desigualdad en las oportunidades de trabajo. A través de una regresión logística binominal, se encontró que las personas con más probabilidades de considerar la desigualdad en las oportunidades laborales como el tipo de desigualdad más grave son aquellas que perciben en mayor medida la desigualdad económica, quienes la consideran más injusta, las mujeres, así como aquellos con mayores ingresos y un nivel educativo superior. Se discuten los procesos de reproducción de la desigualdad y las implicaciones para las ciencias sociales latinoamericanas.

Wealth is derived from the financial valuation of real assets & liabilities, and so physical impacts of climate change, changes in expectations about future profits due to impacts and policies, and current rates of return all combine to determine its amount. We mapped the interconnections👇 2/6
A diagram with boxes and arrows divided into “climate/policy change”, “Biophysical impacts” and “Monetary impacts” columns. Arrows tend to go from left to right, explaining how climate change and policies (boxes in the left column), impact labor and physical capital (middle column) which results in changes to monetary flows and financial valuation.
