The goal of this article is to analyse diferent teorethical and methodological approaches of classes structures typologies, the empírical metrics aplied in Brazil and their implications on public policies. Therefore, it is discussed the main theoretical currents that proposed the typologies and the metrics for the construction of class structures maps. Typologies and empirical methodologies are analyzed and applied to Brazilian case, proposed in the work of Santos (2002; 2015), Santos and Ribeiro (2016) and Souza and Carvalhaes (2014).
