Abstract
This study analyses the stressful life events (SLE) experienced in childhood and adolescence and the onset of precocious adulthood among individuals who earn their livelihood in the dump (n = 99) in León (Nicaragua). The results show that the trash pickers of León suffered from many SLE during their childhood and adolescence, which were extremely serious and occurred from very early ages. Furthermore, these people began to engage in adult activities at a very early age. Both factors may have a significant impact on the chronicity of the trash pickers' social exclusion
