Mujeres en Organizaciones de Mayores: nuevos liderazgos y procesos de subjetivación femenina

Abstract

The demographic aging process is global and is characterized by the feminization of old age. This leads us to think of gender and age as part of social processes that operate  ualities and these affect women more than men. This paper aims to highlight the positive value of Argentine Retirement Centers and describe the changes in gender relations that are taking place in them. The findings show that there is a greater role for women in hierarchical positions, which questions the masculine trait of this type of institution. This study raises the importance of promoting the strengthening of these organizations as places of belonging and social inclusion, as well as incorporating the gender perspective in the institutions where older women transit so that they can act as leaders and promote processes of female subjectivation.
