Resumen

The objectives of the research are to estimate which factors that determine the minimum income required by the household and the perception of economic inequality, for which unconditional quantile regression and probabilistic regressions were employed for this purpose. Additionally, the study calculates the factors impacting the joint perception of economic inequality and inequality in access to education, health, employment, and justice using bivariate probabilistic regressions. Data from the 2022 National Survey on Perception of Inequalities were used. The results show that the required minimum household income and the probability of perception of inequality increase with higher educational and socioeconomic levels.
