Juventude, trabalho e minério-dependência: um estudo sobre Mariana-MG

Abstract

This research is an attempt to know a little about the reality of the city of Mariana/MG in the current context. Our goal is to understand the work of the city in the face of the capital crisis scenario, as well as to understand the particularity of its local crisis after the reduction of production in one of its main economic activities: mining In 2015, after the rupture of an iron ore tailings dam, Mariana, which is characterized by a dependence on mining activity, is facing a crisis that is also local. Thus, in a context involving the most general contours of a global crisis, associated with a particular crisis in Mariana, we seek to understand a little about the impacts on work in the city. Considering that the worker class is characterized by a heterogeneity, we try to identify how this context affects the working conditions of young people, who have been one of the groups most affected in periods of capital crisis and intensification of the precarious processes of labor job.
