Challenges of working students at UFPel (2019- 2020)

Abstract

The article aims to analyze the forms of work found by UFPel students to complement the income, often necessary for their maintenance at the University. For this purpose, the concepts of informality and social vulnerability were used, from authors such as Antunes (1999), Pochmann (2008), Noronha (2003) and Castel (1997). The methodology used was a quali-quantitative analysis, through the launch, on social networks, of a questionnaire online via google forms, with thirty-three open and closed questions. For content analysis, the Excel software was used. A total of 184 answers were obtained, involving students from twenty-two academic units and thirty-five different degrees. The answers, especially the open ones, presented the difficulties experienced by students, as well as the need for the University to change, with a view not only to include, but to make these people remain in the educational space.
