Abstract: El trabajo infantil rural es uno de los princiaples flagelos de la sociodad actual, es clasificado por la OIT como una de las peores formas de trabajo infantil. En Mexico a pesar de que su practica esta prohibida, cada dia, ninos/as y adolescentes se suman al mercado de mano de obra, en particular, la agricola. Ante esta realidad, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo valorar el trabajo infantil rural y sus impliacaciones en el altiplano poblano. Se concluye que el trabajo infantil es un fenomeno que esta en franco crecimiento, su configuracion esta asociada a la violencia estructural de las politicas de ajuste estructural instrumentadas en las ultimas tres decades donde los territorios rurales se reconfiguraron para adaptarse a la nuevas condiciones socioeconomicas. Rural child labour is one of the main scourges of modern society, it is classified by the ILO as one of the worst forms of child labor. In Mexico even though their practice is prohibited, every day, boys/girls and adolescents are added to the labor market, in particular agriculture. Given this reality, the present study aims to assess the rural child labor and its implications in the highlands poblano. We conclude that child labor is a phenomenon that is growing strongly, its configuration is associated with the structural violence of structural adjustment policies implemented in the last three decades where rural areas were reconfigured to adapt to the new economic conditions.
