The elderly population has increased considerably throughout the world and, specifically, in Brazil. According to estimates of the United Nations (UN), the number of elderly people on the planet is 841 million and in the year 2050, you can reach 2 billion. In Brazil, according to data from the National Sample Survey (PNAD), in 2008, this population, already represented a contingent of 21 million people. In the periods between 1998 and 2008, that population increased from 8.8% to 11.1% in the country. In the state of Paraíba, in 2010, the number of subjects was 11.98%. However, this population aging, the country takes place very quickly, it presents a challenge to the Brazilian government, especially in times of crisis, therefore, we need to ensure conditions for a dignified old age through public social policy quality that meet the needs of this population segment. In this sense, the present Work Course Conclusion (TCC), deals with the problem of population aging, under the Social Assistance Policy, specifically at the level of Basic Social Protection, and its main goal, grasp the particularity of facing the problem of population aging in the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) de Sousa-PB showing the main difficulties when it comes to secure access to the right of the elderly, in basic social protection. This is a case study, bibliographic nature and field, with a view that was assigned to a particular locus, that is, the CRAS Sousa-PB. To collect the data, we used questionnaires with open and closed questions, applied to individuals participating in the research. Approximately, has been the main "findings" of the survey show, among other things, in the field of working conditions and relations of CRAS professionals, the lack of a continuous training policy for THEIR workers, especially with regard to the aging specificity. Thus, this difficulty points to the need for political organization to claim actions to training continuously to those workers who work with the elderly public.
