CROSS, Cecilia. Social vulnerability and unemployability: Reflections from a qualitative study on recycling social program. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.475-494. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this paper we present the results of a qualitative inquiry started on 2001, oriented to study local processes of social policies implementation in Buenos Aires. In particular we have focused on those policies which offer labor positions to people defined by its "social vulnerability" associated to their "lack of employability". In this article we present the results of the research conducted on recycling social plants built on a sanitary filling. Departing from total social labor organization approach, we analyze this program configuration and the meanings attributed to their labor position by two female workers.
