Abstract

This work seeks to analyze the theme of the presence of child and youth labor in the constitution of the workforce of the sugarcane agroindustry in Brazil from the point of view of how it was treated in various academic productions. To this end, 12 titles were gathered, located through a search in electronic databases, but also through research identified in the exploratory phase and approximation to the theme. These are books or book chapters, research reports, theses and dissertations and, above all, articles in scientific journals published from the 1980s to the second decade of the 2000s. main themes addressed, exposing the theoretical and methodological perspectives used, as well as the results presented. It was then possible to outline not only the main axes by which child labor in the sugarcane sector was seen, but its characteristics and consequences for the families of rural workers, such as its use as part of a group survival strategy and the way in which it implies maintaining the isolation of these populations in a condition of poverty.
