Abstract
In a reality where we assist aging population, it is important to create more strategies to make this stage of life more positive and healthy. We know that many losses occur in this process on social and individual levels. The retirement is one of these losses, this one with great impact on the elderly people, once they've been professionally active during a great part of their lives. Thus, emerges the interest on creating early strategies that able adult and active people to prepare their retirement process, to the transition from active work to retirement. We proposed a study that permit us to examine the impact that education for retirement (with, for example, courses) could have in how elderly people live their retirement. Additionally, we want to analyse the impact of these preparation on psychological well-being level.
