This article focuses on the Brazilian population aging process based on population projections and estimates and the impacts of this new scenario on public policies. Thus, intertwined by public policies, life expectancy, the health of the elderly, social security legislation and financial planning are aspects that permeate the lives of people socially categorized as old. To this end, bibliographical research, cataloging of social security legislation and public policies in favor of the elderly were accessed in the knowledge production process. The epicenter of the study is based on Interdisciplinarity with foundations in Human and Social Sciences and Social Psychology, and also in the works and concepts of authors such as Ecléa Bosi, as well as Guita Grin Debert. The works of these authors contribute to reflect on the stigmas surrounding old age, aging, and retirement. The methodology used is based on the principles of Critical Incidents, with authors such as Dolores Galindo and Renata Rodrigues. Given this scenario, the investigation is based on the identification of the aspects of: i) public policies, old age, retirement, financial planning. Such aspects are not analyzed unilaterally. Since the transition from adult to old age does not occur abruptly, but in the form of a process conducted by the individual.
