Abstract

The dissertation submitted to the Graduate Program in Social Service from Ufal (Federal University of Alagoas), has as object of study the production of cooperative base in capitalism like a foundation to understand the insertion of the child labor force on production. The research had like objective understand the transformations of infantile workin contemporary starting by its genesis like supplementary work force to capitalist production, at the moment in which the machines allowed a significant raise of production. Sought to achieve this objective, starting by a biographic reference to the marxist research, using an approximation to the categories: concrete work, abstract work, cooperate work, absolute surplus value and relative, formal and real subordinations. Beyond the marxist thought, we detach the relevance to our research of exploratory studies of some works, documents, reports and articles which deal the problematic infantile work in contemporary, realized during the course of the master‘s degree disciplines and the discussions realized in the research‘s group. The study about Infantile work on the capitalist cooperate production allowed understand that the Industrial Revolution in the XIX century, constituted by a process that demarcated the existence of a new platform of exploration of children and adolescents‘ work force, by a real work subordination to capital, once the introduction of machinery to productive process allowed the generalization of relative surplus value. Soon, the insistence of infantile work in contemporary remains bound to the logical capital which provides explore each time more the work force to keep its objectives of production.
