The aim of this paper is to carry out a comparative study between Argentina and Spain on preferences for social justice, mainly regarding income redistribution. To this end, the weight of certain objective and subjective stratification factors (social class, educational level, income) on these dispositions regarding inequality will be analysed. At the same time, as mediating factors in this relationship that can explain the social mechanisms involved, the role played by some dimensions of inequality perceived by people will be analysed (Gimpelson and Treisman, 2018). We will focus on observing the effect of subjective social mobility, as a proxy indicator of relative deprivation, and of the perception of social inequality.
