- Abstract
Objective: to investigate the relationship between the work and the quality of life of adolescent learners in Brazil. Method: transversal study on all male adolescents assisted by a Brazilian NGO (N = 348). Data were collected through the questionnaire WHOQoL-bref. The comparison between the working time of adolescents and scores WHOQoL-bref was performed using the U Mann-Whitney test with significance level of 0.05. In the second phase, we conducted a focus group to get the best possible understanding of the relationship between work and quality of life of this population. Results: significant differences were observed between the time working with the environment (p = 0.048). For teens, study and work are not easy tasks, but they were satisfied with the social support offered by NGOs. Conclusion: we concluded that the work was not a negative factor in assessing the quality of life of this population.
