ABSTRACT: The article discusses the relationship between economic income and the social identity of a low income group from the municipalities Marianao, Boyeros and Habana del Este in the city of Havana. The Social Identities Approach is the framework for understanding the subjective structures and processes of the sample including its projection to the current scenario. The general objective is to determine the existence of a relationship between belonging to a low-income group and the emergence of a social identity. The study was conducted between September 2015 and April 2016 through a mixed research methodology. Data were processed using the Statistical Packet for Social Sciences (SPSS) and content analysis. The results show that membership in the low income group is related to the emergence of a social identity. It is a contribution to the understanding of the subjectivity of this social group and its projection to the Cubas of today.

Keywords : group; social identity; current socio-economic reforms; social inequality and poverty.
