SPINOSO MARTINEZ, Pamela. Working children and adolescents from Xalapa becoming homeless: a reflection from the scaffolding. Rev. de psicol. y cienc. del comport. de la Unidad Académica de Cienc. Juríd. y Sociales [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.1, pp.100-112. ISSN 2007-1833.

The phenomenon of working children and adolescents and homeless is fraught with many stigmas and taboos such as vagrancy, drug addiction and crime. The actions taken by the authorities to eradicate that problem have had little impact since its inception on child labor is limited. This paper aims to reflect how working children and adolescents from the city of Xalapa, Veracruz become homeless through the Scaffolding Theory.
