Informality as concept has a mixed texture, wherein problematizations stands apart and intertwines, generating differentiateds interventions in the contemporary labour and social policies's field. Finding out traces of past's discourses in currents problematizations, we have endeavored to recover programmatic and theoritical discussions that crossed the concept's emergence context, in 70’s decade. That context had characterized by an intense production pf diagnosis, explanations and politics recommendations about employment issues, wich were transforming in Latin America since the sixties. An institutions, schools of thought and academicians’s mixture had a leading role in the discussions about the currents employment issues. Our focus of analysis was the identification of the ways in wich the employment issues were demarcated (defined, explained and conceptualized) and the intervention was delimited. Due to aour research, we were interested in detect the links between the employment’s problematizations, poverty and social policys. We worked on the basis of treating three diferentstheoretical’s perspectives. The analysis demostrates that they were very intersected but there are a few theoritcal and programmatic’s coordinates that allow for differentiating them. Those perspectives were: the ECLAC’s approach, called latinoamerican structuralism, about wich we worked based on R. Prebich’s and A. Pinto’s writings; the ILO’s approach, characterized as neostructuralist, whose reading were done in basis of . Tokman’s work, who were one of the institution’s reference in informality’s treatment in Latin America; and to tackle the depency’s theory we selected José Nun’s, AníbalQuijano’s and Ruy Mauro Marini’s writings.
