This volume investigates the nature, determinants and possible consequences of this remarkable process of social transformation. We propose an original definition of the middle class, tailor-made for Latin America, centered on the concept of economic security and thus a low probability of falling into poverty. Given our definition of the middle class, there are four, not three, classes... 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zLatin America 606 $aIncome$zLatin America 606 $aMiddle class$zLatin America 606 $aOccupational mobility$zLatin America 606 $aSocial mobility$zLatin America 607 $aLatin America$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aIncome 615 0$aMiddle class 615 0$aOccupational mobility 615 0$aSocial mobility 676 $a305.5/5098 700 $aFerreira$b Francisco H.
