Spanish term

sociedad salarial

Spanish to English Other
Fasten your seat belts, there's a spate of questions coming on sociological jargon mostly.

Is there a fixed equivalent for this in English besides "salary society", which I have already considered and rejected?

"En los años ochenta los Servicios Sociales eran considerados como el "sexto" sistema de protección social (Kahn y Kamerman, 1977) y académicamente ocupaban un espacio residual en relación a la sanidad, educación, vivienda, seguridad social y garantía de rentas. Pero ya en los primeros noventa, al manifestarse la incapacidad de la **sociedad salarial** para garantizar la seguridad colectiva mediante el pleno empleo, este sector de la política social entra en la agenda política y académica. El agotamiento (y recorte) de los derechos contributivos traslada a los sistemas asistenciales la necesidad de hacer frente a una pobreza y exclusión laboral en aumento. Coincidiendo con su revalorización política se han publicado importantes estudios sobre el papel y efectividad de los Servicios Sociales en la Unión Europea (Munday, 1992; Room, 1993), en los países de la OCDE (Eardley et al., 1997); se han sometido a consideración diversos paradigmas europeos de exclusión social (Silver, 1994; Cousins, 1998); y se ha empezado a comparar e identificar distintos regímenes de asistencia social."

wage-based society

I think it means a society based on salaries, not a wage-earning society

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Neither "wage-earning society" nor "wage-based society" is common, and in fact most of the hits for the latter come from references to a single book, but I'm going with it because I think it's more apt. Thank you."

The major transformations of the Navajo people, from a northern hunting and gathering society to a farming, then herding, then wage-earning society in the American Southwest, were accompanied by changes not only in social organization but also in religion.

The development of a wage earning society tied citizenship more and more to labour market citizenship, which the development of the welfare state expanded into social citizenship.

staff society

"Staff society" is one standard collocation used within big organizations such as Universities (in Australia). Maybe you could refer to some of the cited English language texts for the original term of which "sociedad salarial" appears to be a translation-equivalent.
