It also can be described as a study on how different people build their daily survival, constituting themselves. It is a study which intends to clarify the way these people live and survive, mostly of them ruled by the state of poverty. From a discussion on the knowledge, the present study aimed at identifying the meanings of self-employment in small family businesses that generate income, found in the narratives of the study participants and in the field-theme. By field-theme, comprehending everything that refers to a subject, a debate without limits or boundaries. In this field emerged themes like: self-employment, microcredit, entrepreneurship, family businesses and popular economy, which together built a fruitful field of discussion and construction of knowledge. Oral history was used to include in the debate the knowledge and life experience of the five interviewees, whose narratives were submitted to the method of discourse analysis.

The identification of the meanings of family self-employment by the voices of those present in the field allowed questioning the general notion linked to entrepreneurship. Concluding that the term entrepreneurship is used as a government strategy to keep the status quo and avoid social conflicts, by spreading that the solution for unemployment is to become an entrepreneur. This speech prioritizes the individualism and must be elucidated, so when people choose self-employment, they do it consciously, as a possible life strategy, not deluded by the speech of being your own boss as an opportunity of success
