A influência do trabalho na evasão universitária

Abstract

This final project addresses the topic "The Influence of Work on University Dropout," focusing on the factors that lead students to drop out of institutions. The main objective of the research was to analyze how work influences university dropout and understand whether this is a major driver of student dropout, considering the need for capital gains to support themselves. The methodology used for this work was exploratory, based on qualitative and bibliographic research. The results indicate that work does influence university dropout, and that extensive work hours ultimately make students feel unwell. Furthermore, the right to education that every citizen should have, along with the importance of knowledge and critical thinking, was discussed. Furthermore, the alienation caused by the need for capital in society ultimately leads individuals to seek and engage in work to earn an income, ultimately neglecting their studies due to the long hours of work. Thus, it was concluded that understanding these factors is extremely important for formulating policies that support and influence students' continued studies and that demonstrate the importance of the search for knowledge for the individual.
