Beschreibung
This edited volume studies the complex interrelation of poverty, work, and different stages in the life course, and how it contributes to the permanent existence of poverty and inequality in vulnerable groups in society. Mechanisms of productions and reproduction of these relationships are identified through empirical research carried out in four Latin American countries: Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Cuba. This book centers on the experiences of individuals in those less favored social groups who may have suffered structural poverty for decades, or who may have been simply deprived of a basic income to cover their most essential needs.

“This book is a valuable contribution to understanding the complexity of social inequality in Latin America and for the design of public policies. Sharing the focus on life course and the reconstruction of work trajectories of vulnerable sectors in different countries and moments of life, the chapters show that daily work is imperative in life in poverty.” (Amalia Eguía, Professor of Poverty & Social Inequalities, National University of La Plata, Argentina)
“Undoubtedly, this consists of an unprecedented work which unravels the complexity of life in poverty in four Latin American countries. A sensitive and in-depth life-course analysis of work trajectories, from childhood to adulthood, in the present context of cultural and economic globalization of the South.” (Lucia Rabello de Castro, Full Professor of Childhood and Youth, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
