Abstract
La desigualdad económica constituye un problema a nivel mundial al que se le puede hacer frente mediante políticas de redistribución de recursos. Sin embargo, el apoyo a estas políticas no es unánime y está condicionado, entre otros factores, por la desigualdad percibida, la clase social y el estatus socioeconómico. Los estudios realizados al respecto se concentran en algunos países, pero es necesario ampliar la mirada y estudiar este fenómeno en otras regiones del mundo, por ejemplo, en Latinoamérica. Por ello, el presente estudio se busca ampliar la perspectiva geográfica e incorporar otra variable que puede tener incidencia en el apoyo a la redistribución; a saber, el rol del clasismo, y si este interactúa con la desigualdad percibida y con el apoyo de políticas redistributivas en el contexto colombiano. Específicamente, se realizó un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, en el que se aplicó una encuesta a 698 personas residentes en Colombia para medir la desigualdad percibida, el estatus socioeconómico, el clasismo y el apoyo a la redistribución. Para el análisis de datos se realizaron correlaciones y regresión lineal, con lo cual se encontró que una mayor percepción de desigualdad en la distribución de los recursos y un menor clasismo se asocian con un incremento en el apoyo a políticas redistributivas, y que el clasismo y el estatus socioeconómico subjetivo actúan como moderadores en la relación entre la percepción de desigualdad en la distribución de recursos y el apoyo a la redistribución. Los resultados sugieren la importancia de considerar el clasismo y el estatus socioeconómico en el diseño de políticas públicas enfocadas en la redistribución.
Economic inequality is a global problem, which can be tackled through resource redistribution policies. However, support for these policies is not unanimous and is influenced by various factors, including perceived inequality, social class, and socioeconomic status. Previous studies have mainly focused on certain countries, making it necessary to broaden our perspective and examine this phenomenon in other regions, such as Latin America. Therefore, this study aims to expand the geographical scope and incorporate an additional variable that may influence support for redistribution: the role of classism and its interaction with perceived inequality in shaping attitudes toward redistributive policies in the Colombian context. This study employed a quantitative approach, applying an online survey to 698 Colombian residents to measure perceived inequality, socioeconomic status, classism, and support for redistribution. Correlation and linear regression analyses were conducted. The findings indicate that greater perceived inequality in resource distribution and lower levels of classism are associated with increased support for redistributive policies. Furthermore, classism and subjective socioeconomic status moderate the relationship between perceived inequality in resource distribution and support for redistribution. These results highlight the importance of considering classism and socioeconomic status in the design of public policies aimed at redistribution.
