FEITOSA, Izabel Christina do N. e DIMENSTEIN, Magda. Infantile work and ideology in speak of mothers of children workers. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2004, vol.4, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1808-4281.
Child labor is prohibited by law, but studies reveal a growing number of children working in the world. We found that the discussion about child labor has been historically reproduced by children´s socializing institutions, like the family. This study has as its objective to discuss what mothers think about the work of their children. We created focused groups with the mothers whose children are students and work in the cultivation of vegetables in Gramorezinho (Natal, RN). We perceived how much work ideology is immersed in the discursive practices of the participants. The mothers themselves come from a background of child labor and reproduce the experience of work in their own children. Work appears as an important alternative for keeping the children off the streets. We perceived, therefore, that when one refers to poor children, child labor presents itself as a practice that has been reinforced historically by the family.
