Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze how the occupational life of the oldest people in Riñinahue is related to their aging experiences. This study was done through a qualitative approach, using oral stories as a methodology. Therefore, several interviews were deeply carried out to 6 oldest people, which helped to improve the theoretical development of the concept “occupational life” which is not recognized as such. Among the results, it was discovered that some pathologies do not have a direct impact on the occupational performance of the interviewees but it’s the subjective experience that people have with their symptoms and their productive roles what influence directly on the aging perception. This is going to be determined by the time-space location and the historical, social and territorial context.
