The meaning of civil service appeal for Brazilian youngsters

Abstract

This article is built around three axes. The first one helps us analyze briefly the place of work in the contemporary arena. The second axis is built around some conclusions drawn from a research about the comparison of work trajectories of children and their parents through two generations. The third one deals with a central dimension of the research: the choice of civil service as an occupation. We underline the importance of this option which seems to correspond with the present expectations and wishes of numerous young people.
