Abstract

The present research proposes to describe and analyze the working and living conditions of young Brazilian commerce workers. The questions that guide this research are related to the challenging insertion of young Brazilians in the labor market. Generally, in the case of the commerce sector, this insertion represents the experience of their first job, and, in general, is marked by a precarious wage and high rate of turnover at work. In order to approach this, the study starts from in the experiences at work reported by the youth workers of C&A, which is one of the main international chains of fashion retail. The argument is built with specific literature on that regard, the analysis of young workers details as well as the testimony of those interviewed. Through this dissertation, it is sought to emphasize both transformations that have occurred on the pattern of labor market insertion for young Brazilians, and forms of labor management and organization present at C&A stores, especially how that affects the lives of the young commerce workers. In that sense, the propose to explore analytically various aspects of the lives of these young people in terms of their future expectations, world views, personal yearnings, family relationships and friendships, the value given to education, as well as the impacts of labor in the development of personal relationships and in health. The research was conducted from bibliographic review, consultation and analysis of secondary sources, data collection, questionnaire application, direct observation and interviews. (AU)
