Childhood education. Working class. Sexual division of labor.

It intends to problematize the impacts of public policies related to the offer of vacancies in early childhood education units in the lives of working women, from the reality of the municipal education network of Florianópolis. Through the materialistic-historical approach, this work seeks to demonstrate how state public policies related to early childhood education exclude children from working families, contributing to the exploitation of the working class the capitalist system. The main objective of this work is to analyze, through a qualitative research, the public policies related to the access of working class children to public and free early childhood education and their impacts on the work situation of women in this class. The bibliographic research is being carried out from sources that take as epistemic basis the Marxist approach, from which it is possible to understand the totality and materiality of the question presented. The field research is being carried out through semi-structured electronic questionnaires, from which data are being collected from the women responsible for children enrolled in three early childhood education units of the municipal network of Florianópolis. Starting from the concept of work, this research seeks to deepen the discussion about the situation of the working class, the condition of women in society divided into classes and the sexual division of labor.
