O reordenamento do Programa de Erradicação do Trabalho Infantil (PETI) : estratégias para concretização de políticas públicas socioassistenciais para crianças e adolesdentes no Brasil.

Abstract

The object of this thesis is reordering the Government’s Child Labor Eradication Program (PETI) and the strategies for implementation of social assistance policies for children and adolescents. The guiding problem of this research is: how the strategies proposed by the PETI reordering can be implemented with the integrated actions for the effectuation of public policies for prevention and eradication of child labor, in order to guarantee the fundamental rights of children and adolescents, as established by the fundamentals of the theory of integral protection, and the parameters of the Unified System for Social Assistance (SUAS), considering the experiences of the municipalities identified by Censo/IBGE 2010 as being high incidence of child labor in Brazil? As a hypothesis to the problem, we question the capacity of the reordering model proposed to guarantee the achievement of a public policy for the prevention and eradication of child labor. Thus, the major goal is to investigate the strategies of the PETI reordering from the experiences conducted in two municipalities in Southern Brazil with a high incidence of child labor, proposing mechanisms in order to implement integrated actions for the effectuation of public policies for prevention and eradication of child labor. The specific goals corresponding to each of the chapters. In the first, we study the social assistance rights as propulsive elements for the implementation of SUAS integrated public policies; in the second, the assumptions of the theory of integral protection, in order to identify subsidies for the substantiation of the fundamental rights of children and adolescents; the third chapter discourses on the international and national normative mark of child labor; the fourth chapter researches the PETI reordering in the decentralized management of public policies; and the fifth chapter presents the proposition of new describers for the strategic axes of reordering, specially a diagnostic model of child labor, considering three cycles of action that involves the identification of sources and databases, study of the local databases about child labor, and the analysis of local practices on routing the cases of child labor, as well as flows of public policies that establish the inter-sectoral coordination for prevention and eradication of child labor. The methodological research approach adopted was the hypothetical-deductive one, characterized by being an explicative and exploratory study. The purpose of this thesis was developed using bibliographic, documental, and field research techniques. The field research was conducted in the municipalities of Abelardo Luz (SC) and Arroio do Tigre (RS), using in-depth interviews and focus groups.
