| Summary: | The present article starts from the assumption that the participation of elderly people in economical activities tends to be higher in our country; therefore, its objective is to search for some of the factors that illustrate this participation. The article tries to identify the existence of renewed morale among these professionals, admitting that it would largely explain their increasing access to the job market today. In order to do that, different sources of statistical data about the population and the job-market are used to identify, in general terms, the transformations occurred in the economy which determine its current dynamics. This shows that there is a higher concentration of elderly professionals working as self-employed people or small business owners, generally, in activities which are relatively autonomous and allow flexible work hours.
