Summary
This study examines how historical inequalities marginalize street-working children (SWC) in Latin America. It advocates for decolonial public policies that address systemic issues rather than just immediate needs.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Public Policy Analysis
- Latin American Studies
Background:
- Street-working children (SWC) in Latin America face marginalization due to historical and structural inequalities like coloniality, heteropatriarchy, and neoliberal capitalism.
- Current public policies often focus on control and short-term relief, failing to address underlying systemic issues contributing to SWC vulnerability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To critically explore the realities of SWC in Latin America.
- To advocate for decolonial public policy frameworks that address socio-political and cultural specificities.
- To introduce the Affective Interstice Theory as an analytical tool for understanding policy impacts.
Main Methods:
- Critical analysis of public policy frameworks.
- Application of decolonial perspectives.
- Utilisation of the Affective Interstice Theory to examine policy discourses and their impact on SWC.
Main Results:
- Existing policies neglect deeper systemic issues perpetuating SWC marginalization.
- The Affective Interstice Theory reveals how policy discourses shape experiences and reinforce power structures.
- Opportunities for resistance and transformative change are identified.
Conclusions:
- A shift towards decolonial public policy analysis is necessary for Latin America.
- Contextualized approaches are crucial for addressing the complex realities of SWC.
- Policies must dismantle structural dynamics to achieve equitable and just outcomes for SWC.

Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

01:14Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
25
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...
