Jovens ex alcoólatras reabilitados e a busca pelo emprego: Um olhar sobre as estratégias adoptadas pelos ex alcoólatras para sua integração no mercado de trabalho na cidade de Maputo.

Abstract

With the object to study the ex alcoholics rehabilitated by Remar, this monograph work aims to understand the strategies that are adopted by former alcoholic’s young people to participate in the labor market. The study was conducted in Maputo City, specifically in the districts of Laulane, Polana Canico, Malhapsene, Central B, George Dimitrov and Marracuene and Boane district where the aim of the research group resides. In the study was used as theoretical approach of Erving Goffman (2008), in his book “Stigma and Identity”. We support the argument that the ex alcoholics, with the aim to integrating into the labor market, manipulate your identity by hiding information about their condition, under the fear of suffering the stigma by the employer. We understand that fear rejection is present in everyday life and in these individuals. The former alcoholics have information about the way society sees them, for having once broken with the socially accepted standards. The, ex- alcoholics are aware that employers they shall not provide them employment for having involved with excessive consumption of alcohol. The manipulation of identity result of a strategy to cope with their image not very good, present in the social imaginary, and stigmatization they face
