COELHO, Raquel Nascimento  y  AQUINO, Cássio Adriano Braz de. Labor insertion, youth and precarization. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.18, pp. 275-289. ISSN 2175-1390.

The text aims at analyzing the effects of the new productive organization that affect some groups, in particular young people. Taking youth as a transitional stage to adulthood and work as a privileged place in this transition, we reflect on the interaction between labor insertion and precarization processes that characterizes the youth participation in the context of contemporary work. By articulating a brief theoretical reflection and research data carried out with young people, we discussed the idea that labor insertion, precarization and youth are inseparable. In the face of a disposition to “naturalize” this relationship, we defend the understanding of the mechanisms that lead to an overrun of essentialism and allow us to think about alternatives for this tendency.

Palabras clave : Labor insertion; Precarization; Youth; Work; Transition.
