Street working children in lima: The child's ‘Surcharge’ between survival strategies and socialisation
Tóm tắt
Child labour is usually analysed within the framework of exploitation. This essay is an attempt to analyse children's economic activities in the street using the concept ‘surcharge”, which may be defined as a child's negative experience of overload or over work. In the comparison between dissatisfactory and satisfactory working conditions, it has been argued that the first is linked not only to a lack of protection, but also to a lack of autonomy and recognition. Analyses include examinations of extreme conditions, different representations of the family, childhood and labour, as too women's roles. Such dimensions are considered essential for the comprehension of children's experience, since they are often surcharged due to the lack of economic resources, the unequal division of labour within the family and contradictory practices found in the research population. Examples of those difficulties draw on children and families' experiences of compulsory and ‘free’ education. The author concludes the need for better knowledge of socialisation processes and children's experience of work that should ideally integrate into the theoretical framework of exploitation.
