Summary: | The aging of the Brazilian population is a fact that occurs in today's society. With advances in diagnostics and the implementation of new therapeutic actions, the aging of the population undergoes considerable expansion, which, together with the downward trend in the birth rate, has influenced the conformation of Brazil's age pyramid. Faced with this unmistakable reality, the present study sought to identify the beliefs of the elderly in the Statute of the Elderly, embodied in Law 10,741 of October 1, 2003, the result of a long and protracted debate within the scope of the National Congress. With regard to beliefs, the definition of Kruger (1995) was adopted as being any statement made by at least one person about a particular social object. The Statute of the Elderly contemplated the existing laws, organized them by topics, discussed each of the rights and specified the punishments for the offenders, becoming more practical their understanding and application. Law 10.741 / 2003, when creating the Statute of the Elderly, was based on the principles established in the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, in the Codes, Ordinary Laws, Decrees, Regulations, Technical Norms, without forgetting the National Policy of the Elderly, Law 8,842 / 1994, creating a protective field for this public. As seen in the analysis of the research data, particularly in the open question, the information category appears in 19 (nineteen) lines, which is confirmed in three items closed questions, pointing to confirmation of the hypothesis that the elderly, are largely unaware of the Statute of the Elderly. |
