The aim of this article is to relate the tradition of studies on socio-occupational classes with the perspective of structural informality. Taking Argentina as a case study, it examines the way in which occupational class inequality and job quality condition the level of welfare of the employed population. The study follows a quantitative methodology based on Argentina's Permanent Household Survey. Regression models show a persistent effect over time of social class and job quality on the probability of experiencing poverty and an interaction between both variables, suggesting that job insecurity is a transversal phenomenon across occupational classes.
