Abstract

The current Completion of Course Work (CCW) approaches the role of social assistance policy in protecting the Elder: challenges and possibilities. This is an exploratory study of bibliographical character, sources consulted corresponded to the laws pertaining to the subject, books, papers and articles that deal with the theme. It is noteworthy that despite the progress achieved by the social assistance policy in all its spheres, especially with regard to elderly people, there is still much to be done, because we are faced daily with severe sonegações these rights, although these be guaranteed in the Federal Constitution of 1988, the National Policy for the elderly, or in the Elderly. Thus, the elderly population requires a greater commitment on the part of the state that is represented by their managers in order that the specific policies operationalized in the current situation are unable to meet the needs presented by the elderly, as well as a society in the process of aging, as shown by surveys conducted. The elderly, as well as any other citizen need not just about being older, but for being a human being like anyone else and for contributing and walking contribute to the development of society.
