Adolescent Workers in Third World Export Industries: Attitudes of Young Brazilian Shoemakers
基于1998年巴西出口导向制鞋业和本地商业部门的数据，研究青少年对全球产业、家族企业和自主工作态度的差异，发现行业收缩与扩张背景下不同雇佣形式的影响。
Child labor is widely condemned, but recently there have been calls to distinguish between acceptable and harmful work for adolescents. This study, based on data gathered in 1998 in Brazil's export-oriented shoe industry and in the local commercial sector, focuses on adolescents' attitudes toward work in global industries, family businesses and self-directed jobs. Among young workers employed in firms, those in the shoe industry viewed their work less favorably than those in commerce; however, no differences were found between shoe and commercial workers employed by their families. A second finding is that within the shoe industry, which was contracting, family workers had more positive attitudes than did firm employees, but within the expanding commercial sector the opposite was true. Finally, there is evidence that self-directed jobs, in which employees themselves largely determine how to perform their specific tasks, were associated with positive attitudes.
