Abstract

A high level of education is often associated with elevated levels of affluence, while low level of educational capital is directly related to higher level of precariousness. Empirical evidence suggests that having more educational capital enables better access to professional status and higher income than when you have a medium or low level of educational attainment. This article discusses carefully recent developments of the relationship of the educational capital with the level of precariousness and affluence of Spanish population between 1995 and 2010. Using data from the ECHP (European Community Household Panel) and SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Conditions) from INE we have built several indicators and index of precariousness / affluence to study the socio-labour and life-space dimensions in relation to the educational capital. A first bivariable analysis of the different dimensions of precariousness is complemented by a subsequent regression analysis in order to identify the influence of various demographic variables on different types of precariousness to detect if they are statistically significant.

Un alto nivel educativo suele asociarse con elevados niveles de afluencia, mientras que un bajo nivel de capital educativo se relaciona con mayor nivel de precariedad. Las evidencias empíricas señalan que disponer de más capital educativo posibilita el acceso a un mejor estatus profesional e ingresos superiores que cuando se dispone de un nivel medio o bajo de logro educativo. Este artículo plantea analizar detenidamente la evolución reciente de la relación entre el capital educativo y el nivel de precariedad-afluencia de la población española entre 1995 y 2010. Utilizando los datos procedentes de las encuestas PHOGUE (Panel de Hogares de la Unión Europea) y ECV (Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida) del INE se han construido varios indicadores e índices de precariedad/afluencia para estudiar las dimensiones socio-laboral y espacio-vital en relación con el capital educativo. Una primera aproximación bivariable a las diferentes dimensiones de la precariedad se completa con un posterior análisis de regresión con el objetivo de identificar la influencia de diversas variables sociodemográficas sobre los distintos tipos de precariedad considerados a fin de detectar si resultan estadísticamente significativas.
