Children's Work Code is based on a Ph D thesis which documents the acquisition of ideas about work of children at the end of their final years of primary schooling. The research undertaken adopts an ethnographic perspective and involves over one hundred children in a rural setting. In documenting their ideas about work, due recognition is given to the ideas directly expressed by the children. However, the study goes beyond the children's explicit expressions to probe the organizing principles that generate their ideas about work. This is based on the thesis that knowledge of work is shared by individuals through a socially generated code similar to that of language. As with language, this “work code” is acquired by individuals in a social context and at an early age, but because the process of acquisition is largely unconscious, the code is rarely articulated. The ultimate task of this study is the articulation of the children's work code. Two central concepts are those of code and the culture of childhood. This article looks at one aspect of the children's work code. It describes the three principal work domains through which the children in the study learnt about work, those of school, the domain of home chores and the world of adult work. These formed the immediate social context generating their “work code”. |
