O artista mirim e o direito ao trabalho

Abstract

The main idea of this thesis is the problem that involves the young artist and the right to work, in view of the Constitutional provision that prohibits the performance of work by children under 16, except as apprentices, by the time they are fourteen years old. However, could it be considered like any other artwork? Should it not be given to the young people the opportunity to participate in a particular artistic performance? This framework is going to present the protection of children and adolescents versus the right to performance in these artworks. It is noticed the existence and even the importance of such work in our times, and it is not reasonable to think of its ban, considerating several reasons that will be presented. It will be analyzed the possibility of this kind of work, in compliance with a range of conditions under which the young artists will be protected according to all their rights as human beings and also will not be shed in their artistic aspirations.
