Abstract
The main purpose of this work was to analyze the meaning assigned to work and retirement by women who are retired teachers on the Social Security system in Feira de Santana – Bahia, Brazil. More specifically this study was aimed at realizing how they rebuilt their identities in a period which is also concomitant with the experience of aging. Based on these key issues, the research was carried out in Feira de Santana on retired teachers attended by a specific Social Security retirement plan for the municipal civil servants. Qualitative approach was used in the field work which collected information via interviews and the use of oral reports as the main technique. The interviews were considered satisfactory complete when a ‘saturation point’ was reached, i.e. when the report of an interviewee confirmed the previous one and this corresponded to five narratives. The meaning assigned to work is interrelated or embedded on topics such as social class and sociocultural differences. It was also possible to analyze how these retired female teachers see their retirement and what is the social meaning given to the labor by them, their understanding of this singular moment and very peculiar traits.
