A efetividade das políticas públicas no combate ao trabalho inantil

Abstract

This article analyzes the effectiveness of public policies to combat child labor in Brazil, considering their historical evolution, implementation challenges, and impacts on the protection of children and adolescents' rights. The research, which uses a deductive and bibliographical approach, is based on the analysis of standards, legal institutes, case studies, and government reports. It examines factors that hinder the eradication of child labor, such as bureaucratic obstacles, insufficient training of public agents, underreporting of cases, and limitations in data collection. The qualitative and exploratory methodology is based on a bibliographic review and documentary analysis of sources such as the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA) and the Conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), in addition to official statistics from IBGE, the Ministry of Labor, and UNICEF. The analysis criteria include the impact of public policies, integration between the State and the private sector, and monitoring mechanisms. Although there is a legal framework prohibiting child labor, its application still faces challenges. Therefore, the need for greater state commitment to implementing and monitoring policies is discussed, ensuring protection for children and adolescents. The study also proposes measures to improve monitoring mechanisms, aiming at greater efficiency in combating child labor in Brazil
