El descenso de la segregación residencial socioeconómica en Argentina (1980-2022). ¿Motivo de celebración o encrucijada metodológica?

Rodríguez, Gonzalo Martín Palumbo, Joseph Residential processes income inequality Argentina Procesos residenciales desigualdad socioeconómica Argentina Processos residenciais desigualdade de renda Argentina The study of socioeconomic residential segregation (SRS) is crucial for monitoring urban social inequalities. In this regard, this paper examines the evolution of SRS in Argentina between 1980 and 2022. A quantitative methodology is employed, based on the measurement of SRS using the Dissimilarity Index in 940 localities. The correlation between SRS and income inequality based on the Gini coefficient is also assessed. The results reveal a sustained and generalized decline in SRS across the country. Although fluctuations in income inequality have followed a more irregular trajectory, the correlation between the two phenomena has become progressively weaker over the course of the study period.

El estudio de la segregación residencial socioeconómica (SRS) es de gran relevancia para monitorear las cambiantes expresiones de las desigualdades sociales urbanas. A tal efecto, el presente trabajo examina la evolución de la SRS en Argentina durante el período comprendido entre 1980 y 2022. Se utiliza una metodología cuantitativa basada en la medición de la SRS a través del índice de disimilitud aplicado a 940 localidades del país. Por otro lado, se evalúa la correlación entre SRS y desigualdad de ingresos a partir del coeficiente de Gini. Los resultados muestran una disminución sostenida y generalizada de la SRS en todo el país. Aunque la desigualdad del ingreso muestra una evolución más irregular, se evidencia una correlación cada vez más débil entre ambos fenómenos. Esta divergencia plantea interrogantes sobre los procesos que inciden en la estructuración socioespacial contemporánea y sobre los alcances y las limitaciones de las fuentes censales para captarlos. O estudo da segregação residencial socioeconômica (SRS) é de grande relevância para monitorar as transformações nas expressões das desigualdades sociais urbanas. Para esse fim, o presente trabalho examina a evolução da SRS na Argentina entre 1980 e 2022. Utilizase uma metodologia quantitativa baseada na mensuração da SRS por meio do índice de dissimilaridade aplicado a 940 localidades. Por outro lado, avaliase a correlação entre SRS e desigualdade de renda a partir do coeficiente de Gini. Os resultados indicam uma redução contínua e generalizada da SRS em todo o país. Embora a desigualdade de renda apresenta uma evolução mais irregular, observa-se uma correlação cada vez mais fraca entre os fenômenos. Essa divergência suscita questionamentos sobre os processos que influenciam a estruturação socioespacial contemporânea e sobre o alcance e as limitações das fontes censitárias para apreendê-los.

The study of socioeconomic residential segregation (SRS) is crucial for monitoring urban social inequalities. In this regard, this paper examines the evolution of SRS in Argentina between 1980 and 2022. A quantitative methodology is employed, based on the measurement of SRS using the Dissimilarity Index in 940 localities. The correlation between SRS and income inequality based on the Gini coefficient is also assessed. The results reveal a sustained and generalized decline in SRS across the country. Although fluctuations in income inequality have followed a more irregular trajectory, the correlation between the two phenomena has become progressively weaker over the course of the study period. This trend raises questions about the processes shaping the contemporary socio-spatial structure of cities, as well as about the advantages and limitations of using census data in capturing them. |
