MILLENAAR, Verónica. Labor insertion trajectories of poor young women: the place of Vocational Training programs and its approaches to gender. Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.325-339. ISSN 1514-6871.

The article analyzes the trajectories of labor insertion of a group of girls in poverty who graduated from different Vocational Training Programs (VT), in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, between 2008 and 2010. The article focuses on their links to work and strategies employed, regarding their processes of insertion into the labor market, to observe the extent to which participation in VT courses reduce the multiple inequities when facing the sphere of labor. We argue that, despite the social and gender conditionings, the incidence of those courses and the way young women benefit from such training experiences are different, and this is a result of the complex linkage between their subjectivities, the approach to gender of institutions and the structural characteristics of the employment market.

Keywords : Young women; Poverty; Gender; Labor insertion; Vocational training.
