The Permissiveness of Family and Legal Factors Influencing the Issue of Child Labor in the Municipality of Fonseca, La Guajira

Abstract

Child labor is a problem of social importance, whose origin goes back to states of deprivation of minimum needs that generate poverty and also to very deep psychosocial roots. The problem is notoriously present in each of the areas, departments, capital cities and municipalities of the country, the Municipality of Fonseca Guajira not being an exception to the presence of this social scourge, where it is viewed with great concern by the local government, especially due to the high incidence that this has in detriment of the rights of children and adolescents. This is a multicausal phenomenon, approached from the causal consideration of poverty as a generating element, so the purpose of this article is to make an analysis from an approach of the permissiveness of the legal factors that influence the minor worker of the municipality of Fonseca the Guajira. The research is of an experimental descriptive type with a qualitative approach, using documentary review as a tool. The results show us that there is a cause-effect relationship between the family factors associated with the minor's work and the permissibility of the law, therefore, as long as it is not treated from the psychosocial sphere, it will always prevail.
