JOVENS E EDUCAÇÃO EMPREENDEDORA:QUE DISCURSO É ESSE?

Abstract

The present dissertation, entitled Young people and the Entrepreneurial Education: what kind of speech is this? , intended to carry out a study about the entrepreneurial speech and its aplicattion to the young. The entrepreneurial speech is ideologically organized as a concept of world, in the sense introduced by Gramsci, and is based on the premise that entrepreneurial education is the only way young people can face the challenges and consequences of the process of capital internationalization, specially the structural crisis of the wage-earning jobs, the increasing social differences and exclusion, as well as material poverty. The implications of this concept of world to the young worker has arisen some reflections: what is entrepreneurship and what material base supports the emergence of its speech to young people? How do entrepreneurial speech and youth protagonism relate in the perspective of the international organisms? Towards what kind of young people are the actions of empowerment for the youth proposed by these entities adressed, and what is the approach given by these actions to the work and the job of the young? What is entrepreneurial education, what is its purpose, and what are its basis? These questions have been synthesized in the following problem: when, how and why do young people appear in the speech of entrepreneurship? This dissertation, methodologically speaking, was developed as a bibliographical and a documentary research and was supported, theoretically, in the concept of ideology, in Gramsci. It helps understanding how the conception of entrepreneurship has spread out so widely in the education of the young worker. Such speach is based on the logic used by international organisms. According to these organizations, fighting against poverty, specially in the peripheral countries of capitalism, must be carried out by means of the empowerment of the youth. By doing so, these young people would turn out to be agents of transformation and development, modifying the content and changing the sense of the so-called youth protagonism . As the analysis covers its way to understand the constitution, the historical relevance and the basis of persuasion of the speech of the education of young entrepreneurs, it reached the conclusion that this orientation, under the excuse of helping make a dream come true and helping achieve personal and professional success, spreads a thesis that intends to be the solution for the labor problem of the young. But, in fact, its real effect is to reinforce his condition as a protagonist entrepreneur and as the only responsible for his survival and for the economic development of the community that he belongs to, disclosing a pragmatic and ideological speech, that strengthens individualism, typical element of the neoliberal rationality.
