Intervención del trabajador social frente al trabajo infantil en familias asentadas en barrios periféricos

Abstract

This research work presents the problem of Child Labor from a social approach developed by the independent Social Work professional in peripheral contexts, making each of the factors involved such as poverty, migration, unemployment and the decrease in the labor supply for parents visible. The work environment in which the social workers develop independently allows them to contribute to the transformation of the problem situation regarding children, through the contribution of models, methods and intervention techniques. This intervention allows to develop the social skills of the social worker to get involved in the family and community environment, addressing complex situations around Child Labor, which is carried out in population sectors characterized by the lack of basic services, the minimum income for the basic family basket and the lack of job opportunities, This has a direct effect on the children working, apparently contributing to the maintenance of the family economy. The situation of social workers is arduous because they have the task of educating, guiding, socializing, mediating, planning and coordinating direct actions to disable the labor practices carried out by boys and girls in the face of job insecurity in adult-centered societies that they face economic, health and social crises. In order to demonstrate the rights of children in the face of the problem of Child Labor, in this work we resort to determining the professional actions of the independent social worker through the bibliographic analysis of different contributions from related indexed journals.
