The unemployed is not nonsexual. Rather, the sexuality of unemployed is socially constructed. The unemployed both young and female do not struggle equally with unemployed both young and male for open positions in the labour market. On the one hand, unemployed young woman seeks a job through the criteria determined in a way that it shall not constitute any challenge for the dominance of men and capital due to the roles provided to herself within society. On the other, by his/her hiring and firing practices, employer reproduces both these criteria and his/her own interests consequent of these. Depending on her social and economical characteristics, unemployed young woman enters a bargain, more precisely a struggle, through these criteria and interests of capital to make a place for herself in labour market. State with its new right applications and regulations, labour market with a neo-liberal approach ensuing from the process since 1980s, family by mechanisms provided by patriarchal system are a party to and identifiers of this bargain or struggle process. This study scrutinises the reasons of young women&rsquo / s unemployment as part of this unequal bargain and struggle. Study provides a feminist analysis set in which young women&rsquo / s unemployment or the employment bargain between young women&rsquo / s labour and capital is considered through state, labour market, family and, the articulation mechanisms amongst them are examined with regards to the unification between capitalism and patriarchy. This analysis set reframes reasons of young women&rsquo / s unemployment with segregation, crowding and employment creation challenge.

Nesta pesquisa examinamos os agentes públicos e privados envolvidos na promoção imobiliária na cidade de Pelotas (RS) entre os anos de 2009 e 2016, destacando suas estratégias, articulações e sinergias em torno da reprodução do ambiente construído. Como mediação teórica, a investigação se serve das contribuições de autores como Harvey (1980; 2004; 2007; 2013), Chesnais (1996), Lefebvre (2008), Lipietz (1989), Soja (1993), Gottdiener (1997), Abramo (1988), Pereira (2005), Carlos (2010), Sanfelici (2015), Shimbo (2010), Royer (2014), Rolnik (2015), Aalbers e Fernandez (2014), retomando os pressupostos da reestruturação econômica, urbana e da cidade e atentando para a tendência de crescimento da financeirização como elemento indutor dos processos de valorização, internacionalização e acumulação do capital e de reprodução do espaço. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa se consubstancia por meio de uma diversidade de fontes de informação, instrumentos de coleta e procedimentos técnicos, tanto de cunho qualitativos como quantitativos, sendo estes fundamentais para operar uma aproximação teórico-analítica a respeito das características formais e funcionais dos processos, frações, objetos e ações destacadas em nosso estudo. Como resultado, o estudo demonstra o impulso na produção do ambiente construído em Pelotas (RS) após o ano de 2009, o que supôs novos contextos nas formas, funções e estruturação do espaço urbano e do setor imobiliário nessa cidade de porte médio, especialmente pela ampliação da oferta de novos artefatos arquitetônicos e urbanos e da ascensão de novas lógicas, nexos e escalas de produção, valorização e articulação entre agentes locais, regionais e nacionais. / In this study we examine the public and private agents involved in real-estate promotion in the city of Pelotas (RS) in the period from 2009 to 2016, highlighting their strategies, articulations and synergies around the reproduction of the built environment. The theoretical framework encompasses the contributions of authors such as Harvey (1980; 2004; 2007; 2013), Chesnais (1996), Lefebvre (2008), Lipietz (1989), Soja (1993), Gottdiener (1997), Abramo (1988), Pereira (2005), Carlos (2010), Sanfelici (2015), Shimbo (2010), Royer (2014), Rolnik (2015), Aalbers, and Fernandez (2014). It revisits the assumptions about economic and urban restructuring of the city, examining the growing trend of financialization as an element that induces processes of valorization, internationalization and accumulation of capital and of reproduction of the space. In methodological terms, the investigation is built around a diversity of sources of information, data collection instruments and technical procedures, both qualitative and quantitative, which are fundamental to operate a theoretical- analytical approximation regarding the formal and functional characteristics of the processes, fractions, objects and actions featured in this study. The results of the investigation demonstrate an increase in the production of built environment in Pelotas (RS), after the year of 2009, generating new forms, functions and structuring of the urban space and of the real- estate sector in this medium-sized city, especially through the increase of new architectural and urban artifacts and the emergence of new logics, links and scales of production, valorization and articulation between local, regional and national agents.

Specifically refers to the employability of graduates Course Colun Administration Technical / UFMA. The research aimed to analyze influences of personal attributes, socioeconomic, cultural and school certificates in employability status, identifying ambiguities and contradictions in the context of corporate restructuring. It discusses the concept of employability, considering the origin and development in times of crisis of capital and its ideological justification of the labor market and the social exclusion process. The research was developed in a historical and dialectical approach, including bibliographic and documentary research, complemented by an empirical study with data collection through a questionnaire with closed and open questions, whose information had quantitative and qualitative analysis. The literature review was based on several authors, among them: Alberto Almeida, Alves, Antunes, Canoy, Castells, Chiavenato, Ciavatta, Coriat, Deluiz, Frigotto, Guilhon, Harvey, Kuenzer, Landini, Milk, Minarelli, Paiva, Peixoto, pochmann, Ramos, Saul, Silva, Tauile and Zarifian. The legal documents prioritized in the analysis were laws, decrees and other on education. The empirical study valued the common indicators related to the concept of employability in that theoretical framework. The text is composed of seven sections. In it, there are the changes in the working world with the crisis of capital in the early 1970s and the changes in the worker's profile, with influences in educational policies, including in education. The paper also discusses the concept of employability in its various versions and relations with stages of development of the capitalist mode of production. With the changes in the work and the concept of employability, exemplify up their influence on educational reforms in Brazil by means of Decree No. 2,208 / 1997 and No. 5,154 / 2004, which had repercussions on worker training model and influenced formatting professional education courses. The empirical study showed that the Technical Course in University of UFMA College of Administration has the current curriculum proposal formatted by the model of competence, related to the concept of employability, lives with great evasion because it is average post despite being valued by graduates , is directed to a less privileged social group economically and does not guarantee employment condition. / Este trabalho trata do conceito de empregabilidade, suas relações com o sistema de produção capitalista e implicações nas políticas de formação do trabalhador. Especificamente, refere-se às condições de empregabilidade de egressos do Curso Técnico de Administração do Colun/UFMA. A pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar influências de atributos pessoais, socioeconômicos, culturais e das certificações escolares na condição de empregabilidade, identificando ambiguidades e contradições no contexto da reestruturação produtiva. Ela problematiza o conceito de empregabilidade, considerando a origem e desenvolvimento nos momentos de crise do capital e sua justificação ideológica do mercado de trabalho e do processo de exclusão social. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se numa abordagem histórico-dialética, incluindo pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, complementada com um estudo empírico com coleta de dados por meio de um questionário com questões fechadas e abertas, cujas informações tiveram análises quantitativas e qualitativas. A pesquisa bibliográfica teve por base vários autores, entre eles: Alberto, Almeida, Alves, Antunes, Carnoy, Castells, Chiavenato, Ciavatta, Coriat, Deluiz, Frigotto, Guilhon, Harvey, Kuenzer, Landini, Leite, Minarelli, Paiva, Peixoto, Pochmann, Ramos, Saul, Silva, Tauile e Zarifian. Os documentos legais priorizados na análise foram leis, decretos e outros sobre educação profissional. O estudo empírico valorizou os indicadores comumente relacionados ao conceito de empregabilidade no referencial teórico citado. O texto compõe-se de sete seções. Nele, destacam-se as mudanças ocorridas no mundo do trabalho com a crise do capital, no início dos anos 1970 e as modificações no perfil do trabalhador, com influências nas políticas educacionais, entre as quais na educação profissional. Também, discute-se o conceito de empregabilidade, em suas diversas versões e relações com estágios de desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista. Com as mudanças ocorridas no trabalho e no conceito de empregabilidade, exemplificam-se suas influências nas reformas educacionais no Brasil, por meio dos Decretos nº 2.208/1997 e nº 5.154/2004, que repercutiram no modelo de formação do trabalhador e influenciaram a formatação de cursos de educação profissional. O estudo empírico permitiu verificar que o Curso Técnico em Administração do Colégio Universitário da UFMA tem a proposta curricular atual formatada pelo modelo da competência, relacionado ao conceito de empregabilidade, convive com grande evasão por se tratar de pós médio, apesar de ser valorizado pelos egressos, direciona-se para um grupo social menos privilegiado economicamente e não garante condição de empregabilidade.

This thesis examines the impact of neo-liberal economic restructuring on teachers, specifically teachers in technical and further education. Historically, there has been limited research undertaken on teachers as workers, and even less on TAFE teachers. During the period covered by the study, TAFE was buffeted by the massive changes, social, political, cultural and economic, that were occurring on a global scale. As a result, TAFE has been a system in crisis. The consequences are addressed by an empirical study that examines NSW TAFE teachers' experience of the great changes that have occurred to their work since the late 1980s. Forty-one teachers were interviewed in tape recorded sessions lasting around one hour each. The respondents were drawn from twenty-seven teaching sections across all the major industry areas represented in TAFE. Twenty of the teachers were from metropolitan locations, twenty-one were regional. Nine managers were also interviewed, from Head of Studies to senior management levels, covering those with local as well as state-wide responsibilities. The changes to TAFE have been driven by a pervasive neo-liberal ideology adopted by both major parties in Australia. This study documents the experience of TAFE teachers as that ideology led to a corporatised vocational education and training system strongly oriented to the market. It also records their responses to the narrowing of curriculum that resulted from the "industry-driven" vocational education and training policies of governments. The study gives voice to their grief, frustration and anger as their working conditions deteriorated and their commitment to quality education was undermined. The study documents the teachers' resistance to the processes of organisational fragmentation, the increasing incidence of cost-driven, rather than educational, decision-making, and the commodification of curriculum driven by a series of policy decisions taken at both national and state level. The study compares these experiences with those of the TAFE managers, whose response to the crisis, while differing from that of the teachers, supports the teachers' commitment to public education as a social good. The study concludes that the NSW TAFE teachers' resistance has continued to act as a brake on the excesses of neo-liberalism. Some possibilities for an alternative vision of technical and further education thus remain.

I conducted a qualitative study, interviewing thirty-three workers from the baby-boomer generation, with an objective of examining the intersection of aging and economic restructuring for boomer professionals. Participants’ careers had been impacted by the restructured economy at a point after they reached the age of forty. I applied an identity theory framework that emphasized meanings associated with growing older in the workforce, changes in the economy, self-meanings, and behavior in the restructured workplace. My focus also included process and questions of structure and agency. I used grounded theory methods to provide theory that explains the experience of transitioning from an existing work role as a downsized worker seeking a new job, entering selfemployment, or pursuing a reinvention of one’s career. I examine the transition process, the effects of structure, the formation and maintenance of identity in the transition role, and the factors that impact transition outcomes. I propose a theoretical argument that provides a comprehensive framework for the transition process. I establish transition as a relatively new and legitimate role for today’s worker, identify hegemonic structure as being particularly influential in the development of transition role identities, conceptualize personal resources—specifically self-esteem, selfefficacy, and authenticity—as key aspects of maintaining identity during transition, and investigate worker attributes that relate to transition outcomes. I assess career outcomes in terms of how successfully the transition role is negotiated and identify characteristics that comprise successful and unsuccessful transitions. I then discuss the implications of unabated economic restructuring for boomer professionals and, more broadly, for the future of the U.S. economy.

Reflecting this new dynamic, the geographic mobility of capital has led to industrial decentralization to regions until then little industrialized. This is the case of territorialization of the automotive industry in Catalão that, from the company MMC Automotores do Brazil S/A , representative group of Mitsubishi Motors in the country, located in Catalão (GO) in 1997/1998, sets a new standard reproduction of capital in Southeast Goiás. Nowadays the MMC with their outsourced employ approximately 3,000 (three thousand) workers, which, in the vast majority, are represented by "Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Metalúrgicos de Catalão" (SIMECAT), which was founded in June 2004. The precariousness of work, the new methods of organizing production, the various social control mechanisms, among which stand out Profit Sharing and Results, the teamwork permeated by the discourse of cooperation, outsourcing and hiring of workers of several cities in the Catalão Microregion, show that the geographical expansion of capital deeply reaches into the working class, especially the capacity for organization and mobilization. However, the resistance from SIMECAT also identifies that, even multifaceted and fragmented, the workers point to the need for social emancipation. So, the objective of this research is to understand the spatial changes caused by territorialization of the automobile industry in Catalão and the changes for the job, understanding that this phenomenon is limited to the logic of the process of productive restructuring of capital. For this, the methodology used in this research consists of three stages: theoretical research, documentary research and field research, interconnected, by the theoretical that structure all the work. In addition to the literature review was also held consultation on various documents and data from agencies like the Labor Ministry, the IBGE, the SEPLAN/GO, SEFAZ/GO and others, and was made the collect of informations through interviews and questionnaires, particularly with the MMC company workers, leaders of SIMECAT and public authorities who represent Catalão City Hall and DIMIC. / As transformações espaciais promovidas pela reestruturação produtiva do capital alteram profundamente a relação entre capital e trabalho na contemporaneidade, anunciando uma nova fase de expansão e acumulação capitalista. Como reflexo desta nova dinâmica, a mobilidade geográfica do capital levou a desconcentração industrial para regiões até então pouco industrializadas. Este é o caso da territorialização da indústria automobilística em Catalão que, a partir da empresa MMC Automotores do Brasil S/A., representante do grupo Mitsubishi Motors no país, instalada em Catalão (GO) em 1997/1998, estabelece um novo padrão de reprodução do capital no Sudeste Goiano. Atualmente a MMC com suas terceiras contratam aproximadamente 3.000 (três mil) trabalhadores, os quais, em grande maioria, são representados pelo Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Metalúrgicos de Catalão (SIMECAT), que foi fundado em junho 2004. A precarização do trabalho, os novos métodos de organização da produção, os diversos mecanismos de controle social, entre os quais destacam-se a Participação nos Lucros e Resultados, o trabalho em equipe permeado pelo discurso da cooperação, a terceirização e a contratação de trabalhadores de várias cidades da Microrregião de Catalão, mostram que a expansão geográfica do capital atinge profundamente a classe trabalhadora, sobretudo a sua capacidade de organização e mobilização. Porém, a resistência a partir do SIMECAT também identifica que, mesmo multifacetado e fragmentado, os trabalhadores apontam para a necessidade de emancipação social. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender as transformações espaciais provocadas pela territorialização da indústria automobilística em Catalão e as mudanças para o trabalho, entendendo que este fenômeno se circunscreve na lógica do processo de reestruturação produtiva do capital. Para isso, a metodologia utilizada na pesquisa compõem-se de três etapas: pesquisa teórica, pesquisa documental e pesquisa de campo, articuladas entre si, pelo referencial teórico que estrutura todo o trabalho. Além da revisão de literatura realizou-se também a consulta em diversos documentos e dados de órgãos como o MTE, o IBGE, a SEPLAN/GO, a SEFAZ/GO e outros, e fez-se a coleta de informações através de entrevistas e questionários, sobretudo com os trabalhadores da empresa MMC, dirigentes do SIMECAT e autoridades públicas representantes da Prefeitura Municipal de Catalão e do DIMIC.

As time goes by, Anápolis has benefited in the geography and strategy localization in the goiano regional site and national, that was so important to the growth and changes in its economy. We can observe that the economy in Anápolis had a good return about the changes in the estadual and regional changes, which its has a regional division in the works. By the way, this regional works division promotes important changes in the economies functions in Anápolis in the goiano site over the time, which one had a huge impact in the intraurbano anapolino site, mainly because of the dynamics‟ economies localization. It can be seen in the localization variation from the productive hegemonic activities and also from the urban improvements developed along the way. The bibliography review shows that for each economic activity developed in the 20th, had occurred a huge changes in the intraurbano site. Like an example, in 1935 the railroad had arrived, and this railroad besides being an excellent commercial connection in the state, formed a new economic center. In 1950, the city assumed the trade from the state, because the railroad and the economic center had changed to the southeast region, so the trade center moved near the BR-153. In 1970, DAIA (Distrito Agro-Industrial de Anápolis) had became Anápolis the most important trade center in Goiás and the most important industrial center, too. And nowadays the south region is the economic center in the city. Along the research we can show the most important facts that helped and allowed the city to became an important regional economic center and also helped the intraurbano development. Despite of the development in the historically city, we had the economics changes in 1990, in the intraurbana organization. In this period, DAIA´s implantation, we´ve research the economic importance in Anápolis and Goiás, in the cotemporary condition, and the influence in the intraurbano site structure. To reach our goals, we adopted some methodologies strategies, like: a) bibliography about the anapolino´s intraurbano site development; b) theoretical review about the mainly changes in the capitalists productive structures and the industrial districts emergency; c) secondary economics data collection ; d) documental datas about the main economic agents in the intraurbano south region, like DAIA, from EADI, Plataforma Logística Multimodal de Goiás, IGTF and the Arranjo Produtivo Farmacêutico from Goiás; e) researches and themes maps productions. The results had helped to identify the regional economics dynamic in Anápolis from 1990 and the reflexes in the intraurbano dynamic structure site in the state. / A presente pesquisa tem como temas centrais a importância de Anápolis na dinâmica regional e os reflexos desta no seu desenvolvimento econômico e na organização do espaço intraurbano. Anápolis, ao longo de sua história, se beneficiou da localização geográfica estratégica no espaço regional goiano e nacional, fato que foi determinante para seu crescimento e mudanças de sua economia. Observamos que a economia anapolina respondeu às demandas e às mudanças da economia estadual e nacional, dado o papel reservado a essa cidade na divisão regional do trabalho. Tal situação promoveu importantes mudanças nas funções econômicas desempenhadas por Anápolis no cenário goiano ao longo do tempo, as quais tiveram expressivo impacto na estruturação do espaço intraurbano anapolino, especialmente em relação à localização do centro dinâmico de sua economia. Isso pode ser comprovado pela variação da localização das atividades produtivas hegemônicas e também pelas melhorias urbanas ocorridas ao longo do tempo. A revisão bibliográfica indica que para cada atividade econômica desenvolvida ao longo do século XX ocorreram mudanças significativas no espaço intraurbano. Como exemplo pode-se destacar a chegada da ferrovia em 1935, que além de fazer de Anápolis o ponto de conexão comercial do estado, formou um novo centro econômico. Em 1950, com a emergência das rodovias, a cidade assumiu o setor atacadista do estado, com deslocamento do centro econômico para a região sudeste, tendo em vista a transferência do setor atacadista para próximo da BR-153. Já em 1970, a implantação do DAIA (Distrito Agro-Industrial de Anápolis) fez de Anápolis o principal centro industrial de Goiás e da indústria o principal setor econômico da cidade, fazendo com que a região sul se constituísse no atual centro econômico da cidade. Assim destacamos ao longo da pesquisa os fatores que permitiram a Anápolis assumir grande importância no contexto econômico regional e que também favoreceram seu desenvolvimento intraurbano. Apesar de proceder ao retrospecto histórico das principais fases do desenvolvimento dessa cidade, tivemos como foco temporal as mudanças econômicas ocorridas a partir de 1990, bem como os reflexos destas na organização intraurbana. Como nesse período a implantação do DAIA foi o principal agente promotor das mudanças, procedemos teoricamente à sua delimitação, ao levantamento de sua importância econômica para Anápolis e Goiás, à caracterização de sua condição contemporânea e, por fim, à sua influência para a estruturação do espaço intraurbano anapolino. Para alcançar tais objetivos, adotamos os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: a) levantamento bibliográfico sobre a evolução do espaço intraurbano anapolino; b) revisão teórica a respeito das principais mudanças na estrutura produtiva capitalista e a emergência dos distritos industriais; c) levantamento de dados socioeconômicos secundários; d) levantamento documental sobre os principais agentes econômicos territorializados na região sul do espaço intraurbano, a exemplo do DAIA, da EADI, Plataforma Logística Multimodal de Goiás, IGTF e do Arranjo Produtivo Farmacêutico de Goiás; e) Pesquisa de campo e produção de mapas temáticos. Os resultados permitiram identificar a função de Anápolis na dinâmica econômica regional a partir de 1990 e os reflexos desta dinâmica na estruturação do espaço intraurbano do município.
