Abstract
A pesar del notorio incremento de investigaciones sociológicas cuantitativas que usan el análisis de secuencias para explorar el aumento de diversidad y complejidad de trayectorias de vida, este campo de estudio se ha concentrado principalmente en sociedades occidentales de Europa y Norteamérica. Este artículo ofrece una introducción al análisis de secuencias, atendiendo al escaso conocimiento de esta herramienta estadística longitudinal en las ciencias sociales en Chile. Se examinan estudios sociológicos recientes que usan el análisis de secuencias en Chile para explorar la diversidad y complejidad de patrones de curso de vida en dominios sociales como la educación, el empleo, la familia, la jubilación, la salud, y en dos o más de estos dominios combinados. Este trabajo es un punto de partida para investigadores y estudiantes interesados en expandir sus conocimientos sobre esta técnica.
Despite the steady rise in quantitative sociological research using sequence analysis to explore the increasing diversity and complexity of individuals’ life trajectories, studies have focused disproportionately on Western societies in Europe and North America. This article offers an introduction to sequence analysis in order to address the general lack of familiarity with this longitudinal statistical tool in the Social Sciences in Chile. We examine recent sociological studies conducted in Chile that have used sequence analysis to explore the diversity and complexity of life course patterns in social domains such as education, employment, family, retirement, and healthcare, and in two or more of these domains combined. The article constitutes starting pointfor researchers and students interested in expanding their knowledge of this technique.
