Abstract

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as características estruturais dos empreendimentos coletivos de catadores de materiais recicláveis no Brasil, abordando questões sobre sua organização administrativa e sua eficiência econômica. Para isso, além de uma ampla bibliografia que trata sobre o tema, foram consultados também os dados referentes a duas pesquisas de âmbito nacional que fornecem um panorama analítico importante sobre as dimensões estruturais desses empreendimentos. De maneira geral, o segmento social dos catadores envolve pessoas que se encontram em situações de precariedade laboral, apesar de ser uma atividade reconhecidamente benéfica para a sociedade. Todas as informações identificadas demonstram que os empreendimentos são marcados por uma grande heterogeneidade estrutural, em um conjunto de fatores que impacta diretamente no nível de eficiência e produtividade do trabalho, no rendimento médio, nas condições de trabalho e, consequentemente, na satisfação dos catadores em fazer parte de um empreendimento coletivo. The aim of this study was to analyze the structural characteristics of collective enterprises of pickers of recyclable material in Brazil, addressing questions about its administrative organization and its economic efficiency. Therefore, in addition to a wide bibliography that deals with the topic, it was also consulted the data from two nationwide surveys that provide important analytical overview on the structural dimensions of these enterprises. In general, the social segment of collectors involves people who are in situations of job insecurity, although practicing an admittedly beneficial activity for society. All information identified demonstrate that the developments are marked by a large structural heterogeneity, in a set of factors that directly impacts on the level of efficiency and labor productivity, the average income, working conditions and hence the satisfaction of collectors in be part of a collective enterprise.
