As políticas sociais direcionadas para a população idosa

: a premência da figura do provedor do idoso

Abstract

The present dissertation named “The social politics directed to the older populacion.
The importance of the figure of aged provider” has the purpose of making us reflect about the current population aging, the importance of family and relations betwen generations and the promotion of more cared aging and the existing social politics directed to older population. To due so, we started to frame the current aging at a european context, nacional and municipality, we explained the concept family, intergenerational and we explained the social politics sector directed to old populational at Portugal.
As the objective was to work at a municipality level, we managed to verify, by the
exploratory study, with interviwed social politics agents, that society is not, currently, qualified to face aging, that intergenarational relations must be faced with a fruitful social politic and that the current politics thought about aging are not enought or, in case of being thought, may be misinterpreted.
We verified yet that older people are a pretty unprotected social structure.
