Honduran Household Survey Data on Ethnicity, Gender, and Social Class

A dataset from the 2024 Permanent Household Survey in Honduras analyzes social class positions using an adaptation of the Erikson–Goldthorpe–Portocarrero (EGP) class scheme. Authored by Sara Ney Simons and last updated in May 2026, it examines how ethnicity, gender, education, and rural-urban location intersect to shape labor market outcomes. The results demonstrate that class structure operates intersectionally, with no single factor explaining class belonging independently.

Use Cases

• Modeling class position based on ethnicity, gender, and education interactions described in the analysis
• Analyzing rural-urban disparities in formal and informal employment outcomes
• Investigating gender gaps in labor market access, particularly for Afro-descendant and indigenous women
• Studying the moderating effect of educational attainment on ethnic differences in class structure

Strengths

• Dataset is based on the 2024 Permanent Household Survey, providing a recent snapshot.
• Analysis employs an established sociological framework, the Erikson–Goldthorpe–Portocarrero (EGP) class scheme.
• The description provides detailed intersectional analysis of ethnicity, gender, education, and geography.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 671.6 KB DOCX document, which suggests the underlying tabular data may not be directly accessible.
