Abstract
As a result of the new demographic trends, the twenty-first century is considered "the century of the elderly" (Barros de Oliveira, 2008). In the vocational literature, retirement is presented as a significant milestone that is associated with the physical and psychological process of aging. This paper aims to reflect on the importance of the professional role, the perception about the elderly in a work context and the experience of the retirement in the life cycle. It is concluded on the need for investment in career management programs for workers who are in the process of transition and adaptation to retirement.
