This higher inequality, whether it manifests in income or in the sphere of consumption, is strongly related to social stratification. To analyze these increases in inequality and the resulting social stratification in Spain for the period 1980-2014 (further divided into three sub-periods), we use an input-output framework. This will allow us to apply a Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) to annual changes in value added, decomposed into several effects (wages, labor, and consumption), which can be linked to traditional measures of inequality (Gini indexes). First, we find that the labor share of income fell from 1980. Second, the sectoral structure of the labor market is a determinant factor of labor incomes stratification. Third, inequality by gender now is less accentuated than in 1980. Finally, domestic consumption by income quintiles has lost weight in value-added generation. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 1.2 2024 0.359 2024 Sociology and Political Science 2024 Q2 Economics and Econometrics 2024 Q3 4.2 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0001-8215-3227 Jiménez, Sofía Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0754-4046 Langarita, Raquel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9521-4156 Sánchez-Chóliz, Julio Universidad de Zaragoza 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
