Wastepickers Goes Green: Transformations in Waste Occupations in XXI Century. IIOABJ, 2019, Vol. 10 (Suppl 1): 203-206.ISSN 0976-3104Posted on site: 11.11.19Текст статьи на сайте журнала URL: https://www.iioab.org/IIOABJ_10.S1_203-206.pdf (дата обращения 11.11.2019)AbstractThe article outlines the sociological aspects of the formation and transformation of the social group of waste collectors in terms of the sociology of occupations. The main forms in which there is an occupation today are highlighted: labor associations, cooperatives, representatives of the “green” professions group, traditionally fixed stigma in the social hierarchy, anomie due to the separation of customs, shadow illegal organization, self-employment, situational crisis forms of garbage disposal. In the twentieth century, environmental catacalism promotes the emergence of green professions, which also perform a cleansing function, but differing in quality of skills. The tougher the environmental challenges are, the more relevant all forms of employment will be.Авторы:Ермолаева Ю.В.
