Trabalho de Criança, Trabalho Infantil: Legislação (inter)nacional e políticas sociais no Brasil

Abstract

The work performed by children has been empirically and theoretically analyzed from two perspectives: from the need to complement family income and / or as one of the principles of human formation, and the second, resulting from a context of Exploitation, in a capitalist relationship as a form of cheapness in production and as a consequence greater profitability. The poverty situation is the factor that contributes most to the identification of such perspectives and is manifested in a more aggravating manner in countries considered in development, as is the case of Brazil, whose social, economic and political structure has as characteristics the Immense social inequalities, fruits of an exclusionary development model, in which they result in regional imbalances, as well as different forms of configuration of child labor, being present in the economic activities of greater regional dynamism. In the impossibility of eradicating all forms of child labor, in the face of a neoliberal conjuncture, in which there is a process of minimization of the State and a significant increase of poverty, It was elaborated the convention No. 182. However, even with the recommendations of international organizations, Brazilian legislation and social policies, child labor is far from being eradicated, mainly due to the conjuncture of progressive deregulation of work, as well as social policies.
