0149/2011 - Perfil de trabalho urbano de adolescentes de 14-15 anos: um estudo populacional no sul do Brasil Urban work profile among adolescents aged 14-15 years: a population-based study in Southern Brazil
O objetivo deste artigo foi descrever os padrões de trabalho urbano em jovens de 14-15 anos do Sul do Brasil. O trabalho infantil foi caracterizado como qualquer atividade que resultasse em retribuição na forma de bens, serviços ou dinheiro. As análises foram estratificadas por sexo e nível econômico. Dos 4325 adolescentes entrevistados, a proporção de trabalho no último ano foi de 22,2%, sendo 27,7% para o sexo masculino e 17,0% para o sexo feminino. Essa proporção também foi maior para as classes D/E (30,0%) do que para as classes A/B (14,3%). A maioria dos adolescentes trabalhava fora de casa, aproximadamente metade começou a trabalhar antes dos 14 anos e cerca de 80% referiram trabalhar por interesse próprio. Apenas 1% tinha contrato ou carteira de trabalho, 30% trabalhavam mais de seis horas por dia, e a renda média foi menor do que R$ 150/mês. Os serviços domésticos predominaram entre os mais pobres. Existe a necessidade de maior monitoramento do trabalho infantil e de intervenções que busquem o cumprimento da legislação vigente.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article was to describe the urban work patterns among youths aged 14-15 years from Southern Brazil. Infant work was characterized as any activity that resulted in payment in form of assets, service or money. The analyses were stratified by sex and economic level. Out of the 4325 adolescents interviewed, the prevalence of work in the last year was 22.2%, being 27.7% for the male sex, and 17.0% for females. This proportion was also higher among poorest (30.0%) than the richest (14.3%). The majority of the adolescents worked out of home, about a half of them began to work before 14 years of age, and approximately 80% reported to work by own interest. Only 1% had contract of work, 30% worked more than six hours per day, and the mean income was lesser than US$ 75/month. Domestic services predominated among the poorest teenagers. There is a need of greater surveillance of infant work and of interventions seeking the attainment of the current legislation.
