Abstract

In this Thesis, winner of the 2024 Edition of the "Domingo Faustino Sarmiento" Award, the author set out to understand the labor conversion process experienced by informal waste pickers from the landfill of La Bebida (Rivadavia Department, Province of San Juan, Argentina) into workers at the Environmental Technologies Park (PTA) and how this process is interpreted by the actors themselves.


The context of this study dates back to April 2012, when the Government of San Juan, through the Secretariat of Environment and Sustainable Development (SEAyDS), inaugurated the PTA in the province.


Throughout the research, and through an exhaustive analysis of interview narratives and documentary material, the author delves into three main aspects: the career trajectories of PTA workers, the conversion process from informality to formal work, and, finally, the meanings of work that emerge from the narratives of the interviewees.
