Current configurations of the labor market for social assistants and the interiorization of Social Servisse courses:

the intenfication of precarious processes

Abstract

This article aims to present the current configurations of the labor market for social workers in the face of the process of internalization of Social Service courses, in the city of Sousa (PB), based on the results obtained from the work of master's dissertation, about the work relationships of social workers inserted in the socio-occupational spaces of the city in question. In methodological terms, the study is the result of field research, of a qualitative nature, whose analysis method was Marx's dialectical historical materialism. The research in question allowed us to identify the precariousness of the working relationships of social workers inserted in socio-occupational spaces, which are expressed, fundamentally, in low wages, in employment relationships, which are predominantly temporary, in the forms of insertion in work spaces, between others. Furthermore, when we correlate work relationships with the professional training profile of social workers, we identify that professionals, graduates from distance learning, when entering the job market, only through invitation, are more subject to precarious processes of labor relations.
