O trabalho dos assistentes sociais nas organizações não governamentais em Juiz de Fora

Abstract

It was based on Marx's dialectical method critical that we analyze the historical processes of societal transformations occurring today and its implications for the profession of Social Work from the restructuring process under the neoliberal ideology, which drew new boundaries for the labor market including social workers, demanding new powers, duties, and skills requirements and, under new conditions and labor relations. Understanding the new development process of the capitalist system, characterized by the globalization of capital, developed in the context of a serious structural crisis that set in the years 1970/1980 causing radical changes in the production and reproduction of capital and the world of work is fundamental. This new period capitalistase develops in the midst of a profound crisis of overproduction, which in this context will focus directly on the relationship between state and society, which were directly influenced "by the demands of the world market under the command of finance capital" (Iamamoto, 2008, p. 142). The new context of the restructuring process is to determine a set of changes in the pattern of responses to social issues, triggering an expansive process of casualization, commodification and refilantropização of meeting social needs, from the transfer of responsibilities from the state to the extent the market and the "third sector" ─ the latter emerging as space for socio-occupational social worker, materializing limits, challenges and possibilities objective work. The object of investigation, therefore, to be analyzed in this research is the work of social workers in nongovernment organizations (NGOs). The goal is to understand the processes and forms by which the work of professional social work is developed within these spaces in the city of Juiz de Fora, as well as the challenges that are put in these spaces for professionals who have been occupying a significant number of social workers in recent years. This research will expand the knowledge about the work of social workers in NGOs, current issues that expressed the need for ethical-political social workers.
