Challenges and opportunities in the insertion of adolescents in the labor market

Abstract

The integration of adolescents into society is a complex current issue. Young people face a changing work environment, driven by technological advances and specific skills. This dynamic requires a solid education, not always accessible, making the professional trajectory more challenging. Policies aimed at training young people, such as internships and training, are crucial. However, socioeconomic factors lead many to work early, often in informal conditions, threatening the educational and professional future of many adolescents. Based on this context, the complex issue of the insertion of adolescents in Brazilian society is investigated. The study adopts the analysis through a systematic review, revealing that, despite the opportunities through training programs, there are significant socioeconomic barriers. The research concludes that there is a need for more effective policies to better prepare adolescents for the labor market.
