espanolEl concepto de vulnerabilidad ha irrumpido con fuerza desde hace varias decadas en las ciencias sociales y, en particular, en el campo de los estudios sobre desigualdad social. Este articulo propone seguir la evolucion del concepto de vulnerabilidad, concepto que surge en la decada de 1970 en el intento de comprension de desastres naturales y los problemas de recuperacion de las poblaciones afectadas. De este enfoque estrictamente natural de la decada de 1970 se paso al enfoque social de la decada de 1980, poniendose el foco en el estudio de las estructuras y procesos socioeconomicos de desigualdad y pobreza como causantes de la vulnerabilidad. El boom de los estudios sobre vulnerabilidad se produce hace una decada, cuando, a partir de la crisis mundial de 2008, los paises desarrollados experimentaron un crecimiento de las situaciones de precariedad e inseguridad economica y social. EnglishThe concept of vulnerability has penetrated powerfully for the past few decades in Social Sciences, particularly in the field of studies in social inequality. In this article, we intend to follow the evolution of the concept of vulnerability, a concept that emerged in the 1970s and was used to comprehend natural disasters and the recovery problems of affected populations. After the strictly natural approach of the 1970s, the social approach emerged in the 1980s, focusing on the study of socioeconomic structures and processes of inequality and poverty as causes of vulnerability. The boom in vulnerability studies occurred a decade ago, when, after the world crisis of 2007-2008, developed countries experienced an increment of precarious situations and economic and social insecurity.
