Resumen

The purpose of this article is to characterize child labor in mechanical workshops and jet laundering, and the relationship of this work with the school. The study included 18 children and adolescents who worked in mechanical workshops and washes of a small city in the north of Tocantins. A questionnaire was used to collect data, composed of open and closed questions, which included, among others, aspects such as socio-economic profile, schooling and activity. For the analysis, descriptive statistics and SPSS software were used. The data show that the age of these children and adolescents ranged from 11 to 17 years old, all of them male, which turns out to be an activity cut by gender bias, and 90% declared themselves to be of African descent. Most of them belong to the lower-class families and have little incentive to education, 70% of whom had already been disapproved at school.

Keywords: child labor; children and adolescents; school lag.
