In this universe, the job of the Social Service Worker, on the Brazil/Bolivia border, between the cities of Corumbá and Puerto Quijarro, together with the population that seeks social assistance in the Corumbá City Hall, promotes specificities in the work dynamics of such professionals. The demand highlighted in this research consists of Bolivian immigrants who were assisted from 2015 to 2020 at the Social Assistance Reference Center – CRAS Itinerante – which is the spatial delimitation of this research and a public agency managed by the Municipal Secretariat of Social Assistance and Citizenship of Corumbá.
