DUTRA-THOME, LUCIANA; CERQUEIRA SANTOS, ELDER  e  KOLLER, SILVIA HELENA. Sexual exploitation and labor during adolescence: A case study. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.3, pp.881-896. ISSN 1657-9267.

The present article focused on the perception of sexual exploitation as a job, using a single case study design. The aim of the study was to investigate the case of a 14 year-old girl, involved in commercial sexual exploitation, who considered this situation as her labor activity. A content analysis showed protective and risk factors as categories, especially related to her labor activities. The girl perceived the sexual exploitation activity as a job that provided autonomy, subsistence, and survival. The study revealed that the negative effects of working during adolescence may bring consequences to health and development. Youth work may be defined as a risk factor, especially when the labour conditions are not adequate and protected.

Palavras-chave : Adolescence; work; protective and risk factors; sexual exploitation; Developmental psychology; qualitative research; case study.
