Abstract

In this article, the theoretical perspective centered on “dynamic inequality” and inter-category or individual differences is questioned, while the structural approach of extra-categorical analysis is sustained as essential and pertinent to sociological discussions of inequality and, further, attributable to social class, rather than internal or individual differences as posited by some theorists of inequality. From this position, an attempt is made to offer a frame of reference for the analysis and understanding the distributive structure of income in contemporary Panama. Despite presenting one of the best positioned minimum wage and average income structures in Latin America, Panama occupies one of the worst income distributions in the region. The approach subscribed to in this investigation is based on the theoretical assumption that links the conditions of income inequality with the structures of occupation and class location of the workers. The purpose is to build an empirical model of class structures associated with the occupational categories of the workers and, from this, to analyze the trends in the distribution of income in the country. The data analysis was carried out based on the Labor Market Survey of the National Institute of Statistics and Census of the Comptroller General of the Republic for 2000 and 2021.
巴拿马:阶层位置和收入分布分析
在本文中,以 "动态不平等 "和类别间或个体差异为中心的理论观点受到质疑,而类别外分析的结构性方法则被认为是社会学讨论不平等问题的关键和中肯之举,而且可归因于社会阶层,而不是某些不平等理论家所假定的内部或个体差异。从这一立场出发,我们试图为分析和理解当代巴拿马的收入分配结构提供一个参考框架。尽管巴拿马的最低工资和平均收入结构在拉丁美洲处于领先地位,但其收入分配结构在该地区却是最差的。本次调查所采用的方法基于这样一种理论假设,即收入不平等的条件与工人的职业结构和阶级定位相关联。目的是建立一个与工人职业类别相关的阶级结构实证模型,并据此分析该国收入分配的趋势。数据分析是根据 2000 年和 2021 年共和国总审计长国家统计和普查局的劳动力市场调查进行的。
