Abstract

This research is an empirical research, of qualitative character, linked to the “Linha de Pesquisa Educação, Sociedade e Cultura”, of “Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação (PPGE)” of the “Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC Goiás)” aimed and based on Marx's (2013) dialectical historical materialism method, to understand the meanings attributed to work and study by the young people from “Lagoa da Pedra” community. The research sought to bibliographic research, the knowledge through the productions of these and texts already carried out about the theme; to learnment how about socio-historical-cultural reality of the young people community from “Lagoa da Pedra” investigating how young women conciliate study and work, identifying them challenges and them listed; proposed to identify the meanings that the young women of this community attributed to school and work. The data collection occurred through a semi-structured interview with the young people community from “Lagoa da Pedra”. Data analysis and systematization based on methodological procedures called “Núcleos de Significação” of Aguiar, Soares and Machado (2015). The research revealed that, despite the existence of legal provisions created from the issues of the “Sociedade Civil Organizada”, through the social movements on the cause of the rights of the black population, the improvements in conditions for young people, have not yet been sufficient to promote a worthy support that will support them. Thus, it is reaffirmed that legal provisions need to be into practice that actually guarantee fundamental rights for the people of these communities now unassisted by public authorities which makes this population feel inferior and excluded from their social environment. The research emphasized the work and study of the young people community from “Lagoa da Pedra” in order to contribute to the discussions about the young people of this community, since that the existing academic scientific papers are few and this research proposes to contribute to the field of research enabling more theories to be given on databases of scientific public researches. It also proposes to subsidize the people who fight for overcoming social inequalities and oppressions in the struggle for their rights, including access to education and work, which need to be guaranteed for all in a society especially those who are devoid of assistance to public goods.
