RESUMO

Disclosing the reality of male and female workers, aged 50+, in people?s cooperatives located in the city of Campinas, SP; this was the object of study of this research; besides a reflection on aging in the work and productivity world. The methodology used is based on a quantitative-qualitative approach. In the first moment a socio-economical mapping of the workers was developed; therefore, we had a gathering of data of every cooperative in the study (quantitative). In a second moment, we identified the social representations which these people had of themselves ? as workers who are getting older in the people?s cooperative ? and of the own work in cooperative environment, and as a result, we identified the wishes and needs which make such participants to search for work in this alternative system of production. The results allow us to analyze the reality where the participants of the studied people?s cooperatives live. In the research of social representations, we developed a comparative study between a refuse material recycling cooperative, which does not require any schooling type, and a sewing cooperative, with women with higher level of schooling. We noticed that in the analysed categories in production field, schooling and gender are extremely relevant to define the differences in the social representations found. In a general way, the aging is valorized by its physical aspects and health loss, but in reality it can be softened by the idea of continuing being productive through the work
