Adopting a gender perspective in this study aimed to examine the identity construction of young people entered in the informal sector in the free city of the Days of Simon in Sergipe. The methodological choice fell on the qualitative research based on oral history, to understand how to build the subjectivity of young people entered into informal work, its universe of meanings, aspirations, beliefs, values and attitudes. We consulted several sources: bibliographic, documentary, focusing on free observation and interviews. The study participants were 15 students (10 women and 05 men) aged between 15 and 24 years entered in the free city of the Simão Dias / SE. Most young students is part of the informal activity to contribute to the family income by reason of exclusion of class. The social roles played by them are built in the wider social context and as defined territories according to the sex of the worker. The space occupied by women in the free stall is limited by, local private space associated with the occupation "light" appropriate to the female characteristics. The men perform activities that require more physical strength enabling the movement in public space at the fair. Domestic roles and family members limit the availability of women in the formal market and impede the expansion of rights. However, informally, women are present in order to acquire a relative "autonomy". In general, young people are unemployed, have low educational level, and thus little prospect of building design professionals. The absence of public policies for integral formation of youth, including quality education, participation in professional training, job placement, is a determining factor for them to fall in informal employment.
