description While the character of high education as a means of life is only available for the bourgeoisie and the wealthy strata of the petty bourgeoisie as a form to reproduce their class position, it also functions mainly as the grounds of a title under which these strata can appropriate a part of the social wealth. Thus, the loss of this character may be the indicator of some degree of decomposition in these strata. This situation is most openly presented in the possibility of unemployment among higher graduates, although it could also be extended to all those situations in which the categories that were trained to perform intellectual functions cannot be effectively employed in those activities. Can this situation be associated with a process of proletarianization? Guided by this question, this paper presents a series of considerations based on an analysis of the weight and composition of higher education graduates in Argentina, particularly those who are not included in occupations traditionally attributed to the wealthy petty bourgeoisie. The data comes from the processing of information from the official Annual Urban Household Survey 2010 and 2012.

Mientras el carácter de la alta educación como medio de vida es sólo accesible para la reproducción de la burguesía y de las capas acomodadas de la pequeña burguesía, funge también dominantemente como asiento de un título bajo el cual estas capas puedan apropiarse de una parte de la riqueza social producida. Por eso, la pérdida de este carácter puede constituirse en el indicador de algún grado de descomposición de estas capas. La forma en que se presenta más abiertamente esta situación es en la posibilidad del desempleo de los graduados superiores, aunque también se podría extender a todas aquellas situaciones en que las categorías que se formaron para ejercer funciones intelectuales no pueden insertarse efectivamente en dichas actividades. ¿Puede estar asociada esta situación a un proceso de proletarización? Con esta pregunta como guía, el artículo presenta una serie de reflexiones a partir de un ejercicio de análisis del peso y la composición de los egresados de educación superior en Argentina, particularmente de aquellos no insertos en ocupaciones tradicionalmente adjudicadas a la pequeña burguesía acomodada. Los datos proceden del procesamiento de información a partir de la Encuesta Anual de Hogares Urbanos 2010 y 2012.
