Résumé
Les jeunes à faible contexte socio-économique nécessitent résilience pour survivre dans une ville
avec des possibilités limitées. Unintendedly ces efforts affectent parfois leur bien-être. Tel est
le cas de l’adolescent demeure dans certaines banlieues urbaines à travers les cultures. Basé sur
seize entretiens en face à face avec des adolescents travaillant comme ouvriers dans les scieries
de la banlieue; Ce document situe la notion de jeunesse et de la survie à l’âge adulte dans
un espace social. Les résultats ont révélé une absorption consciente avec la notion d’enfance
grâce à certaines règles de mesures de l’engagement et de survie. Ces stratégies comprennent
des pratiques d’auto-soins orientés vers la réalisation d’un corps sain pour la performance
contextualisée dans les réglages d’usine. Toutefois, cela vient avec série de conséquences que les
garçons vivaient les notions sociales de la jeunesse et des règles d’engagement dans des activités de
survie et de reconnaissance sociale. Par conséquent, la compréhension et le ciblage des stratégies
de survie positifs de cette catégorie sociale des adolescents pourrait être utile de responsabiliser etde minimiser les risques liés au travail et de plus en plus comme des adolescents dans les espaces
physiques et sociaux des scieries.
