Abstract
2 million children and adolescents between 11 and 19 years old have not yet finished
basic education and had left school. The current Brazilian scenario reflects the reality
in which these children and adolescents are inserted, without sufficient resources
for the continuity of basic or elementary education, and often the parents' lack of
income leads these young people to seek work, as can be seen in several capitals and
inland cities: children selling food at traffic lights, bars, restaurants, and similar
situations5. According to a study carried out by Abrinq Foundation (Fundação Abrinq),
in the last quarter of 2021, there were about 2.36 million adolescents aged between
14 and 17 years old in the labor market or looking for a job, of which 1.2 million
were in child labor in disagreement with Brazilian legislation, including work similar
to slavery, and activities harmful to health, development, and morality.
