This article reconstructs household budgets during the first phase of the family life cycle in 24 municipalities representing different economic development models and in twelve industrial colonies in the provinces of Barcelona and Girona in 1924. Based on wage declarations recorded in the municipal registers of that year and the reconstruction of a “respectability” basket of goods, the article aims to determine the purchasing power of various social strata. For this purpose, the HISCO and HISCLASS occupational and social classification systems were used, alongside an analysis grounded in descriptive and multivariable statistics.
