Willing to Work. An Approach to the Views of Youth Employment Program State Agent’s in Argentina
Abstract
This article analyzes the discourses, diagnosis and operational logics embedded in the Programa Jóvenes con Más y Mejor Trabajo developed in a popular district of Córdoba, Argentina. The text digs in the way the program (from its different dimensions and levels) shapes the “culture of work” among young people in popular classes. Then I describe the meanings and conceptual reformulations of some aspects of the program and its implementation by state agents. Subsequently, I elucidate the interrelations between the productions of legitimacy, having on the one side the State (moral authority) and on the other the beneficiaries (social merit and dignity). This is a dynamic process defined as a common discursive framework for social differentiation by its hegemonic regulations.Downloads
