O trabalho informal nos espaços públicos : um estudo de caso aplicado as praças na região central de Rondonópolis-MT

Abstract

The informal market has grown in Praça dos Carreiros and Praça Brasil, located in the central region of the city of Rondonópolis-MT. Informal trade has become a survival alternative for people who are unable to enter the formal labor market. Increasingly, as a result of technological modernization, few jobs are created, causing a significant number of people to receive very low wages, living from occasional activities. It is clear that labor is a force of the dynamics of capital, configuring itself in a form of labor selection that absorbs demand, excludes another, demonstrates the contradictions of the capitalist system and proves that informal labor is the result of a process that involves several conditions, mainly those of social, economic and educational order. In this research we seek to collect data from these workers who are in these public spaces, to understand what brought them to live from informality, or even if they had opportunity in formal work. We observed with the survey workers, that the itinerant mostly came from other cities, with the process of migration, looking for new opportunities in the urban centers of the city of Rondonópolis. Currently, employment has become increasingly scarce, which has significantly increased the numbers of unemployment, resulting in the increase of workers who live from informality, being unique or even complements their source of income.
