Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to analyze ageism in relation to elderly people in the labor market, as well as their social and salary representations, in relation to younger people. The study was developed through a literature review, in the Google Scholar database, including only scientific articles published in the last 5 years. A total of 689 studies were found, and after the review steps, 10 studies were considered eligible for such a review. The results show that ageism is present in all recruitment phases carried out by companies, represented by low wages and few vacancies offered to this population demand. It is concluded that more robust public policies are needed to support this population lacking opportunities in the field of work, for improvements in quality of life as a result of reintegration into the labor market and social environment.
