This study aims to analyze the socio-economic characteristics, living and working conditions, educational profiles and the future expectations of the child workers, who have been living in tents for many years and working as agricultural workers at Karag&ouml / &ccedil / er and Kapik&ouml / y areas of Tuzla Municipality (KarataS District) of Adana Province since the early 90s after having been forced to vacate their villages in Sirnak. Thesis tries to expose the poverty, deprivation and social exclusion experienced by families and children presently living in tents in Karag&ouml / &ccedil / er and Kapik&ouml / y. It is also aimed at exposing the ways in which these people are deprived of their social and political rights as citizens. The main research question of the study is the motives behind the child labour observed in Karag&ouml / &ccedil / er and Kapik&ouml / y. The study has found that the phenomenon of child labour in this area is the direct consequence of poverty, deprivation, social exclusion and denial of citizenship rights that these families had to face as a result of forced migration early in the 90s. Therefore, the study underlines, in conceptual terms, how their unfavourable circumstances lead to deep child poverty and consequently child labour and thesis also tries to bring attention to the children&amp / #8217 / s situation by referring to their families&amp / #8217 / poverty, deprivation, social exclusion and lack of citizenship rights. In this respect, the theory section of the thesis focuses on the relation of child labour and child poverty within the conceptualization of new poverty, internal displacement (forced migration), social exclusion and citizenship rights. One of the main argument of this thesis is that children from Sirnak who work in fields in Tuzla constitutes a different category of child labour. Even though they are paid child workers working in the agricultural sector and they live like migrant seasonal agricultural workers, they are not, since they are settled in the region for a long time. Another important argument of the study is that families of these children after the evacuation of their village did not migrate to urban areas like most of the internally displaced people did but moved to rural areas. In this sense, they are also in disadvantaged condition compared to other internally displaced people since they can not benefit from many social services, which is easy to reach in urban settings. Therefore, this study makes clear that the children and their families examined in this study are the part of the worst form of poverty in Turkey.

The general subject of this thesis is about farm labor intermediaries who are important not only because they are transferring and organizing seasonal agricultural work but also they have social relations and interactions with other actors of seasonal agricultural work. This analysis elaborates multi dimensional relations of farm labor intermediaries and construction and reproduction of these relations. These social relations which can be accepted also as social capital and their nature are important for both understanding farm labor intermediaries and seasonal agricultural work in Turkey. Adana is determined as research field because of its long history about seasonal agricultural work. Moreover, changes and transformations in terms of social and agricultural structure taking place in Adana for 20 years are very important factors with regard to understand how farm labour intermediaries reproduce social relations. Labor intermediaries are the people who are providing and organizing seasonal labor force demanded by employers in labor intense agricultural production in different regions of Turkey. Delegate, backer, or sarge is the some local names of intermediaries using in Turkey. As it can be understood from the function of labor intermediary, it is arbiter between employer and worker. Family, relatives, friends and neighbors are seen as the labor force resources of intermediaries. From the eyes of the seasonal agricultural workers, intermediaries are not only the people who are finding job for them but also they are the people who meet their basic needs. This is very crucial point, since seasonal agricultural labor force is supplied from very poor regions in Turkey. At the same time intermediaries are important actors for employers due to their controlling functions of agricultural work process. However, the relationship between intermediary and employer is simply defined as business where mutual interests are important. In this context labor intermediation in Turkey has lots of meaning other than finding job for workers and worker for employers. Labor intermediation is a legal job which is controlled and regulated by law. However, both pervious researches and this study demonstrate that this job is mostly executed as informal. The main determinant factor for this informal execution of the job can be related with working style of intermediaries, namely, face to face social relations that has been institutionalized within time.

To this, an adaptation had to be made in the method of ergonomic analysis of the work. The analysis contemplated the set of activities that integrate the harvest: cleaning, pruning, transportation and collection of loose fruit. Both in the look of the system as a whole and in the analysis of one by one. It was found that the distribution of the tasks is done in a fragmented way, in which each operator that was assigned to that task performs only that task. However, changes in management models are insufficient to indicate that agricultural work is influenced by Taylor/Ford models. The agricultural work of palm harvest involves a relationship in which, in part, the operator manages his own activity. So, the research suggests a management model based on the organizational specificities analyzed. It was observed the presence of little integration in the execution of the activities, of little community, although there is a good relationship between the operators. This fact is due to the tasks being organized by teams, within the parcels, under the command of a person in charge, it was verified a distribution in pairs or individual operator by planting lines, which results in monotony, reinforced by the fact of the team to work with plant of specific height. It was found that the agricultural work of the palm harvest tends to have much variability, for example, those classified as normal and predictable, such as encountering venomous animals and/or leaf thorn. We highlight problems with the use and handling of tools, which contribute to increase the efforts at work - the "handle" and the weight - require significant strategies associated with their adaptation, such as: tying alloys and filling with sand in the inner part of the aluminum cable. All these factors point to the understanding that the research extended the understanding of the "palm harvest" work and that, from this knowledge, the proposed actions generate other scientific research with intervention in the field that can bring improvements in the working conditions of these operators. / O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender como os operadores lidam com as variabilidades do trabalho agrícola na colheita de dendê, as estratégias inerentes às condições de produção e como se organizam diante das especificidades deste trabalho, em uma empresa de médio porte no Estado do Pará. Para tanto, foi feita uma adaptação no método de análise ergonômica do trabalho. A análise contemplou o conjunto de atividades que integram a colheita: limpeza, poda, transporte e coleta de fruto solto. Tanto no olhar do sistema como um todo quanto na análise de uma a uma atividade. Verificou-se que a distribuição das tarefas se faz de forma fragmentada, em que cada operador que foi designado para aquela tarefa executa apenas aquela tarefa. No entanto, as mudanças ocorridas nos modelos de gestão são insuficientes para apontar que o trabalho agrícola é influenciado pelos modelos de Taylor/Ford. O trabalho agrícola de colheita de dendê envolve uma relação em que o operador, em parte, faz a gestão de sua própria atividade. Então a pesquisa sugere um modelo de gestão com base nas especificidades organizacionais analisadas. Observou-se a presença de pouca integração na execução das atividades, de pouca coletividade, apesar de haver bom relacionamento entre os operadores. Esse fato se dá em função das tarefas serem organizadas por equipes, dentro das parcelas, sob comando de um encarregado, verificou-se uma distribuição em duplas ou operador individual por linhas de plantação, o que resulta em monotonia. Reforçada pelo fato da equipe atuar com planta de altura específica. Detectou-se que o trabalho agrícola da colheita de dendê tende a ter muitas variabilidades; exemplo, as classificadas como normais e previsíveis, como deparar-se com animais peçonhentos e/ou com espinho da folha. Destacam-se problemas com o uso e manuseio das ferramentas, o que contribuem para aumentar os esforços no trabalho - a “pega” e o peso - demandam estratégias significativas associadas a sua adaptação, como: amarrar ligas e efetuar enchimento com areia na parte interna do cabo de alumínio. Todos esses fatores remetem ao entendimento de que a pesquisa ampliou a compreensão do trabalho “colheita de dendê” e que a partir desse conhecimento as ações propostas geram outras pesquisas cientificas com intervenção em campo que podem trazer melhorias nas condições de trabalho desses operadores.

This work was proposed research the historical study of the Agricultural College of Rio Verde, which became operational in May 1967, in southwest Goiás, with the cut out the year 1967 with it s creation, and 1979, when the college was transformed into Agrotechnical School. The objective of the research is to analyze the trajectory of the Agricultural College of Rio Verde, emphasizing the process of creation, installation and consolidation in the period between 1967 and 1979, seeking to understand the implementation of this technical-vocational institution in the 1960 features such as approach, three stages, namely: the socioeconomic context of the area where the school was installed, justifying the need for professional training for agricultural work, and hand of local and regional skilled workforce, whose economic development was basically agricultural; a reflection on the history of agricultural vocational education in the region and in the country, emphasizing political and social aspects in their advances and retreats; and also the installation of the institution; and start of operations, their organizers and agents subject. The methodological path followed had as a starting point the documentary research, prioritizing the identification, selection, analysis and description of the Agricultural College documents Rio Verde, 1967-1979, are: Decrees, Laws, reports, letters, photographs, books registration tests of selection and registration, point of books, minutes of meetings, and visits to private collections in search of newspapers highlighted time, photographs, documents and school records. Correspondingly, the bibliographic reference analysis on the subject studied. These studies allowed the perception of the creation of the school as part of a political-economic planning deployed to meet regional and local needs, highlighting the uniqueness of the agricultural school culture in the institution that reveal stories, facts and relationships between all those involved in the processes of construction, implementation and consolidation of the college, among these relations, we find that the agricultural vocation of the region was essential for this institution to consolidate. / Este trabalho teve como proposta de pesquisa o estudo histórico do Colégio Agrícola de Rio Verde - GO, que passou a funcionar em maio de 1967, no sudoeste goiano, tendo como recorte o ano de 1967, com sua criação, e 1979, quando o colégio foi transformado em Escola Agrotécnica. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a trajetória do Colégio Agrícola de Rio Verde, enfatizando seu processo de criação, instalação e consolidação, no período entre 1967 e 1979, buscando a compreensão da implantação desta instituição técnico-profissionalizante na década de 1960. Apresenta, como enfoque, três momentos, a saber: o contexto socioeconômico da região onde a escola foi instalada, justificando a necessidade da formação do profissional para o trabalho agrícola, ou seja, mão de obra qualificada local e regional, cujo desenvolvimento econômico era basicamente agrícola; uma reflexão sobre a história da educação profissional agrícola na região e no país, enfatizando aspectos políticos e sociais em seus avanços e retrocessos; e, ainda, a instalação da instituição e início das atividades, seus agentes articuladores e sujeitos. O caminho metodológico percorrido teve como ponto de partida a pesquisa documental, priorizando a identificação, seleção, análise e descrição dos documentos do Colégio Agrícola de Rio Verde, de 1967 a 1979, sejam: Decretos, Leis, relatórios, ofícios, fotografias, livros de registro de exames de seleção e matrícula, livros de ponto, atas de reuniões, e visitas a acervos particulares em busca de jornais da época destacada, fotografias, documentos e registros escolares. Em consonância, a análise de referencial bibliográfico sobre o tema estudado. Estes estudos possibilitaram a percepção da criação do colégio como parte de um planejamento político-econômico implantado para atender as necessidades regionais e locais, evidenciando as singularidades da cultura escolar agrícola na instituição que revelam histórias, fatos e relações entre todos os agentes envolvidos nos processos de construção, implantação e consolidação do colégio, dentre as estas relações, constatamos que a vocação agrícola da região foi fundamental para que essa instituição se consolidasse. / Mestre em Educação
