Exploraciones sobre la distribución del consumo por clase social. Argentina 2004-2018 Rodríguez de la Fuente, José Javier Social class Inequality Consumption Expenditures Incomes Clase social Desigualdad Gastos Consumo Ingresos The present article aims to explore the evolution of household consumption expenditure and its distribution in the class structure in the first two decades of the 21st century in Argentina. Specifically, the general dynamics of income inequality and household consumption expenditure are analyzed, the way in which income and consumer spending are distributed according to social class and the influence of class positioning on household consumption spending, controlling for other sociodemographic factors. From a quantitative approach, we use the National Household Expenditure Survey (ENGHo) for the years 2004-2005, 2012-2013 and 2017-2018, carried out by INDEC, as data sources. The results of this exploratory study show that the inequality of consumption expenditure and income follow a similar trend, marking a reduction in the period analyzed, but showing a certain increase towards 2017-2018. On the other hand, under the proposed theoretical perspective, the results show the relevance of the approach of the class structure as a central system for the study of economic inequalities. In this sense, although the distances between the classes, in terms of income and expenses, were reduced between the start and the end of the period, there is evidence of an almost unaltered reproduction of the structure by which consumption continues to be segmented between better or worse positioned sectors. El presente artículo tiene como propuesta explorar la evolución del gasto de consumo de los hogares y su distribución en la estructura clases en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI en Argentina. Específicamente, se analiza la dinámica general de la desigualdad de ingresos y del gasto de consumo de los hogares, el modo en que éstos se distribuyen según clase social y la influencia que presenta el posicionamiento de clase sobre el gasto controlando por otros factores sociodemográficos. Desde un enfoque cuantitativo, se utilizarán como fuentes de datos los relevamientos de la Encuesta Nacional de Gastos de Hogares (ENGHo) de los años 2004-2005, 2012-2013 y 2017-2018, realizada por el INDEC. Los resultados de este estudio exploratorio arrojan que la desigualdad de gastos de consumo e ingresos persiguen una tendencia similar, marcando una reducción en el período analizado, pero mostrando cierto incremento hacia 2017-2018. Por otro lado, bajo la óptica teórica propuesta, los resultados muestran la relevancia del estudio de la estructura de clases, en tanto sistema central para el abordaje de las desigualdades económicas. En este sentido, si bien las distancias entre las clases, en términos de ingresos y gastos, se redujeron entre las puntas del período, se evidencia una reproducción casi inalterada de la estructura, por la cual los consumos continúan segmentados entre sectores mejores o peores posicionados.
