The issue of infant-juveline work is discussed and so are the several ways linked to capitalistic production relations. IBGE-90/97, OIT, UNICEF-97 data are analyzed. The causes for the use of this kind of work and its intensification and continuity during the industrial revolution are analyzed. Low costly labor-work and its advantages in a globalized market are found important. This kind of work in a productive chain and its explorations and poor flexibilization of rights is analyzed. It is concluded that the over-use of infant-juveline work has been through a new political-economic model based upon social justice.
