Resumo: The increase in average life expectancy led to an increase in the older adult population. Thus, this text aims to analyze perceptions about old age and transitions to retirement in older adults. Empirical data resulted from a biographical investigation carried out with six retired adults, through biographical interviews. The conceptual framework adopted focuses on life stories and biographical transitions, in aging, old age and retirement, and experiential learning. Retired adults participating in the research show a tendency to associate aging and old age with disability and inactivity. The transition to retirement is experienced in multiple ways, according to the experience and uniqueness of each adult. However, there is a widespread attempt to preserve autonomy, self-recognition and identity. In the experience of late adulthood, the person value essential skills for life such as the power to speak, the power to narrate and the power to act. Keywords: Older adult people. Transition. Retirement.

Así, este texto visa analizar percepciones sobre la vejez y las transiciones para la jubilación de personas adultas mayores. Los datos empíricos resultaron de entrevistas biográficas con seis personas adultas jubiladas, resultantes de una investigación biográfica. El marco conceptual incide en las historias de vida y en las transiciones biográficas, en la vejez y el envejecimiento, en la jubilación, y en la formación experiencial. Las personas adultas jubiladas muestran una tendencia de asociación del envejecimiento y la vejez con la incapacidad y la inactividad. La transición a la jubilación es vivenciada de múltiples maneras, de acuerdo con la experiencia y singularidad de cada sujeto. Sin embargo, hay un intento generalizado de preservación de la autonomía, del reconocimiento de sí y de la identidad. En la vivencia de la adultez tardía, los sujetos valoran capacidades esenciales para la vida, como el poder hablar, el poder narrar y el poder de actuar. Palabras clave: Personas adultas mayores. Transición. Jubilación.O aumento da longevidade provocou o incremento da população adulta mais velha. Assim sendo, este texto visa analisar percepções sobre a velhice e as transições para a aposentadoria em pessoas adultas mais velhas. Os dados empíricos resultaram de entrevistas biográficas com seis pessoas adultas aposentadas, decorrentes de uma investigação biográfica. O quadro conceptual incide nas histórias de vida e nas transições biográficas, na velhice e no envelhecimento, na aposentadoria e na formação experiencial. As pessoas adultas aposentadas entrevistadas evidenciam uma tendência de associação do envelhecimento e da velhice à incapacidade e à inatividade. A transição para a aposentadoria é vivenciada de múltiplas formas, de acordo com a experiência e a singularidade de cada sujeito. Contudo, há uma tentativa generalizada de preservação da autonomia, do reconhecimento de si e da identidade. Na vivência da adultez tardia, os sujeitos valorizam capacidades essenciais para a vida como o poder de falar, o poder de narrar e o poder de agir. Palavras-chave: Pessoas adultas mais velhas.
