• Resumen

  • This paper proposes a measure with which to quantify the wellbeing of a demographic group associated to its distribution across occupations of different status. In doing so, it extends the status-sensitive segregation measures proposed by Del Río and Alonso- Villar (2012a). While those measures allow researchers to assess the segregation of a target group penalizing its concentration in low-status occupations, the new measure allows ranking demographic groups in terms of wellbeing.
