It was aimed to investigate the work meaning between generations of workers involved in the cashew nuts production process in the villages of Carrilho and Taboca (SE). Despite the prohibition of child labor, there is the persistence of child labor among the families of these workers, which justifies studies that intent to understand the meaning assigned to work between the generations of parents and children. The idea of generation thus serves to compare the perceptions about work outlined by the group of parents and the group of children, which probably received different socializing influences about labor. It was adopted multimethodological approach with nonprobability sampling. In study 1, it was investigated 100 parents and 100 children involved in the working process with cashew nuts with a socio-occupational questionnaire and the Inventário do Significado do Trabalho. It was used descriptive analysis (M, SD, f) and inferential (Cluster, t test, X2, r) for the data handling. The results indicated that, in the parentes group, were formed three evaluative clusters: Dialectical, Optimistic, and Uncritical; and four descriptives clusters: Satisfied, Instrumental, Conflicting and Devalued. In the children group, were formed 6 evaluative clusters: Dialectical, Uncritical, Optimistic, Recognized, Indifferent and Welcoming; and 5 descriptive clusters: Conflicting, Challenging, Satisfied, Painful and Neutral. In short, parents were optimistic in the value attributes, but they felt undervalued in the descriptive attributes. Whereas, the children group had a dialectical view of what work should be and how it actually is. In study 2, five parents and five children participated through semi-structured interview, which was evaluated by the Content Analysis. Results revealed that parents interpret the meaning of work as hard, with poor working conditions and unappreciated. The children seemed oblivious to the negative dimensions of work and the risks to which they were subjected, naturalizing the phenomenon. However, parents and children claim that the actions of inspection agencies are inconsistent with the reality of the villages, However, parents and children claims that the actions of inspection bodies is inconsistent with the reality of the villages, even though they persue curb juvenile exploitation. Finally, there are no speeches unfounded in this conflict or even ready-made solutions.
