O trabalho infanto-juvenil e a violação do corpo.

Abstract

Children and teenagers work for their own survival or to help their families are submitted to precarious strategies of life reproduction. Those are the unique form through which the existence of the works become real. These strategies are imposed by the process of inclusion in the logic of capital reproduction. In this sense, the creative bodies of the child Workers are violated by the deteriorated conditions under which they live. Such conditions are closely linked to the social relations mostly based on punishments, extortion, low wages, absence of labour rights, exhausting labour days, unhealthy work among others. This violation is originated in the capitalist process added to the particularities of the Brazilian State economy through the established law called "Child and Teenager Declaration". The State that is formed by the social relations provide all the mechanism for keeping the status quo of the hegemonic class. Therefore, the law is only applicable when it is required by capital reproduction.
