Perceptions and Imaginaries about Child Labor in Colombian Gold and Coal Mining: This study tries to identify these relationships and propose alternatives to overcome the factors that promote and justify it. The study combines quantitative and qualitative social research techniques to obtain a different perception, with an internalized vision of the causes of child labor, both at a general level and at a particular level in the Colombian ASM of coal and gold. In addition, it offers an analysis without barriers, which highlights the point of view of miners and shows the importance of taking their opinions into account, with a view to making them the agents of change on child labor.
