  abstract = {{I}n the context of {L}atin-{A}merican studies of informality since the 1960s, and based on a case study of three care work scenarios, this article proposes a reflexion on the {B}razilian {S}tate's (paradoxical) tendency during the first decade of the millennium towards formalisation in a relational perspective. {T}he way in which the {S}tate regulates this work contributes directly to the depoliticization of the poor, and more widely, to neoliberal governance. {T}he article shows how this governance, beyond instrumentalizing the work of poor women, also individuates them and creates new hierarchies. {T}he novelty of these policies resides in the activation and transfer of responsibility to these individuals for the scheduled failure of their permanent efforts towards self-entrepreneurship, which constitutes an antithesis to the notion of (social) rights.},
