PAZ‒CALDERON, Yannet; SUAREZ‒ZOZAYA, María Herlinda  and  CAMPOS‒RIOS, Guillermo. The role of labor in the construction of a youth subject. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1303-1311. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14228060815.

Society has been influential in the creation of the term youth based on the need of society, with work being the fundamental driver of this change. The confrontation of man with developments in technology required new productive players. At that point it was necessary to open up the notion of work to something that hadn’t been considered previously, the inclusion of young people in labor. The main objective of this article is to provide historical evidence that modern capitalist labor required the identification of a sector of the population, in this case young people, in order to provide them with the necessary skills required in various patterns of accumulation.

Keywords : Youth; industrial revolution; labor market; child labor; capitalism.
