Abstract

In Argentina, teachers have traditionally been characterized as part of the middle class or the petty bourgeoisie, depending on the theoretical perspective. This char­acterization is usually based on the pre­dominantly female composition of teach­ers as a group and on their character of wives of that portion of the population that occupies “relatively important posi­tions in the social structure”. However, few studies have attempted to account for this hypothesis and most of them are based on unrepresentative samples. In this paper we present an exercise based on a comparison of census data for three ju­risdictions which have different features both in the recruitment of teachers and in their specific social and economic struc­tures: Ciudad de Buenos Aires, La Pampa and Santa Cruz.
