Abstract: This paper quantifies the evolution of the middle class in Ecuador between 2007 and 2014 by computing polarization and bipolarization indexes. The results show that polarization have steadily decline between 2007 and 2014 due to an homogeneous move from lower income class households to higher income classes, which translates into an increase of the middle class measured as proportion of the total population.
