The social and economic experiences of older people in Scotland over the past two centuries provides a particularised lens through which larger themes of change and adaptation may be analysed. Older age cohorts are examined as specific identity groups within the context of a society in rapid transformation. The years c. 1845-1999 represent a period of time in which almost every sector was affected by industrialisation, urbanisation, migration, economic developments, technological and medical progress, and social reform. In combination with historical interpretations, modern sociological theory concerning the aged as a distinct social grouping provides the basis for further inquiry. Concepts such as status, social capital, interdependency, paternalism and citizenship have been of major importance in structuring this research. By means of demographic analysis, readings of written biographical documentation, and the incorporation of over fifty oral histories conducted in Dundee and Edinburgh, the role of the family in older people’s lives has been explored. Nineteenth and twentieth-century population trends have been incorporated as an area for detailed investigation of long-term familial practices. An understanding of the older person’s role in the family over time suggests a formalised socio-economic stability based upon kinship ties, gender roles, and economic and social reciprocity. Stage theory allows for examination of the economics of ageing, particularly in regard to employed and retired older people. Original research covering older people’s experiences of work in Dundee and Edinburgh provides qualitative and quantitative data on paternalistic policies in the brewing and jute industries, promotion and retirement practices, and economic status among the working elderly. The experience of being retired has been evaluated in terms of economic independence, social capital, class and gender. Analyses of the experience of retirement in the post-war era are bound with the rise of the modern welfare state. Significant government commissions and acts provide scope and sequence in an analysis of the role of the state in old age. Principally, the New Poor Law of 1845 (Scotland), the Pension Acts of 1908 and 1925, the National Insurance Act of 1946, as well as the social welfare acts of 1948 have been studied. Particular focus on the influence of the Social Work Act 1968 (Scotland) complements an overarching argument concerning Scotland’s unique practices in the modern welfare state. Emphasis is on care in the community, using statutory and voluntary services provided at the local level as case studies. Interpretations of older people in terms of their various roles in the welfare state, their communities and places of work, and within their families indicate that throughout the period, older populations have distinctively adapted to the long-term effects of modernisation in Scottish society.

Herewith, became necessary a deep work in this subject to allow the lawyers the possibility to find conceptions and studies that are absent in our work s law. This work went to history to tell about the social protection since it s was born, first like a care assistance on XV century until nowadays. It s was possible check an evolution on social protection field, that had the first reach with Bismarck, in 1883, and, on that time just assure a little the workers. Slowly, this covering became deficient in front of the necessity to protect who that are in case of needing. On XX century, Beveridge create what nowadays is called Social Welfare Work, enlarging the protection just not only with the benefit, but with the services. In other time, the work had an evolution on old age, in Brazil and for the world, with the purpose of demonstrate that how important is the old age protection , mainly because the world modification on population number, where the old age has been subject of large contends, for that social s covering plans can be prepared to care all large number of old age people that promises to exceed the infant mortality rate. In Brasil, there are three kinds of age retirement , different about , if from the city, from the country or obliged to, and about this last one it s different from what the fundamental law of state establish. Each one of these kinds has different way of be and are studies one by one. , Finishing, it s possible say that the age retirement is sofering modifications by the possibilities to fix the age for retirement by the time of they pay the taxes. . Therefore, with the old people age living more, mainly the women , it s not possible allow that people get retired five years before than men and that the age still be the same, face the longer hope of live / É ainda bastante incipiente a doutrina acerca do Direito Previdenciário no Brasil. Diante disso, torna-se necessário um estudo mais aprofundado dessa matéria, para proporcionar aos operadores do direito a possibilidade de encontrar definições e conceitos inexistentes em nosso ordenamento jurídico. No presente trabalho, foi resgatada parte da história da proteção social desde o seu início, ainda como assistência privada, nos idos do século XV, até os dias de hoje. Foi possível constatar grande evolução no ramo da proteção social, que teve seu primeiro alcance considerável com Bismarck, em 1883, época em que se limitava a assegurar sobretudo os trabalhadores. Aos poucos essa cobertura foi se tornando insuficiente diante da necessidade de proteger aqueles que se encontravam às margens da mendicância. Já no século XX, Beveridge cria o que hoje se chama seguridade social, ampliando a proteção não apenas com benefícios, mas também com serviços. Neste trabalho também é feito um resgate histórico da velhice, no Brasil e no mundo, com o objetivo de demonstrar o quão importante tem sido a proteção aos idosos, principalmente em razão das mudanças demográficas que têm ocorrido em âmbito mundial. O envelhecimento tem sido tema de amplos debates e discussões, para que os planos de cobertura social possam estar preparados para proteger o grande número de idosos que prometem alcançar taxas de sobrevida cada vez mais altas. No Brasil há três modalidades de aposentadoria por idade, diferenciadas em razão da natureza da filiação, se urbana, rural ou compulsória, sendo que esta última vem se revelando em descompasso com os ditames constitucionais. Cada uma dessas modalidades possui características próprias, que serão abordadas em detalhes neste trabalho. É possível depreender que a aposentadoria por idade está na iminência de sofrer modificações, diante da possibilidade de se fixar idade mínima para a aposentadoria por tempo de contribuição. Ademais, com o crescente aumento da longevidade, principalmente no que tange às mulheres, não é possível permitir que elas continuem se aposentando cinco anos mais cedo do que os homens e que a idade para a aposentadoria ainda se mantenha imutável, diante do aumento da expectativa de sobrevida
