This paper aims to show the new ways to live the ageing population process, offered by various transformations in which the society is going through over the time. We believe that such changes are governed by modernity and globalization, where society sudden has to modify their ways to act, think and live the everyday-life. These changes promote new forms of sociability and conflicts, both among the elderly as in other age groups of the population. This is evident from some factors such as the search for institutions to promote the meeting of the elderly, the creation of the Statute of the Elderly, new types of family, the monoparents ones, the sole traders, the female leadership, the return to the labour market, the permanence in the same, the informal employment among this public, caused by the fact that many of them do not follow the changes that the labour market and its rules require: the preparation school, expertise, training, foreign language. After all, there's no way to compete on an equal equation with people of other age groups, beyond the physical limitations that the aged body has, selecting only a few posts of job for the elderly. We showed with this range of information, that the age’s transformations point the necessity of revision of the priorities on the public agenda and the social politics to be developed and, still, in the academic discussions that allude to this subject for reflection of tremendous amounts of changes. We also showed along this study how sociological production treats the issue of elderly in actuality, making correlations with relevant themes of social sciences, such as issues of gender, family, generational, urban sociology, of modernity, educational and economic discrepancies. Finally, we also showed how we can not make equal such heterogeneous issues, such as population ageing process and all the changes in contemporary society.
