This thesis treats of the means, manners and living conditions of rural households located at the base of the Brazilian social structure, i.e. those people classified as poor by the Brazilian Government. More specifically, it will be discussed the social reproduction strategies of poor rural families economically, residents in the municipality of Itinga, Jequitinhonha Valley, a mesoregion rather emblematic for performing on the national scene as a "pocket of misery", defined from the high incidence of poverty (economic) and because it was established as a kind of "migrant nursery”. For the most diverse regions of Brazil, the temporary displacement of migrants working in precarious situations , the final migration as part of families and individuals from there originated are elements which have been used as indicative in a deruralization process. This municipality is located in a social and economic environment known by its little socioeconomic dynamism, high levels of social and material deprivation, and the predominance of the rural population engaged in agricultural activities, manly for self-consumption. Based on qualitative methodologies in production of evidences, and having families residing in rural communities as the unit of analysis, the research begins of two hypothetical principles: I- even less dynamic rural regions of the country are not going through a process of the social, cultural, economic demographic and migration emptying, especially at precarious work, is part of the social reproduction strategies in order to stay in their own places of origin, and more broadly, element of the local culture; II- the social policies expansion in poor areas impact considerably the social and economic dynamics of rural peoples in poor areas, enabling improving the economy in family units, allowed for non-contributory income. Such income interfere with senses and meanings spatial mobility, including conditioning potential migrants in their home localities. (AU) | |
