Abstract
The work done by girls and boys is one of the phenomena that articulate concerns about childhood in Latin America and its analysis has given rise to fruitful debates that exceed abolitionist and regulatory perspectives. The objective of this article is to contribute to this field of studies with new questions and nuances from the comparative analysis of research experiences with girls and boys who sell, ask and care in contexts of inequality in Argentina. We maintain that even under conditions of subalternity, forms of child agency are deployed, which requires precise analysis.
