Resumen:
Between 2020 and 2022, an unprecedented global energy crisis exposed and deepened existing inequalities in energy access and use. This study analyses how energy inequality, understood as a set of energy deprivations of varying severity, manifests itself in Latin America and Europe, comparing cases from Germany, Argentina, Colombia and Spain, with a quantitative and econometric approach focusing on households. It adopts a perspective that understands energy as a social right essential to well-being, and not just as an economic input.
