HOPP, Malena Victoria. Work identities of recipients of the Programa Ingreso Social con Trabajo "Argentina Trabaja". Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.207-223. ISSN 1514-6871.

This paper analyzes the processes of building work identities of recipients of the Programa Ingreso Social con Trabajo in connection with their participation and membership in cooperatives created by the program. Considering that this work units are promoted by social policy, the article investigates if the identity is defined in relation to social policy or to the workplace. The analysis is based on a qualitative study involving prolonged participant observation in a cooperative and interviews to recipients of the program. This paper develops, first, the theoretical approach from which the relationship between work identity and social policies is analyzed. Then, the article describes socio-occupational paths of the recipients, the forms of political relations developed in the cooperative and the senses that subjects give to the work done under the program. The investigation shows that the career paths make sense that acquires cooperative work created by the program. Therefore, while developing work tasks are considered in all cases a job, participation in these labor units does not seem to have the possibility of building a collective identity, linked to the associative work.
