The research focuses its gaze on the situations of crisis or problem that are emerging throughout the journeys and labor experiences of migrants from Paraguay in Argentina, which are inscribed, in turn, in situations of high uncertainty and complexity given by instabilities, anxieties, fears, contradictions, but that are also often triggers of practical knowledge, strategies, individual and collective actions that the actors anticipate, to reduce that uncertainty and expand their capacities for action in the workplace.
