Resumo
Este trabalho intitulado A pobreza dos Idosos em Portugal. A perceção da Pobreza dos Idosos na União das Freguesias do Laranjeiro e Feijó visa compreender a perceção que os idosos têm da sua situação de pobreza, como gerem a sua situação, bem como a perceção dos profissionais que prestam os apoios sociais a nível local para o debate a esse fenómeno. Segue-se o método indutivo, discritivo e interpretativo consistindo a metodologia numa abordagem essencialmente qualitativa socorrendo-se fundamentalmente em termos de técnicas de recolha de dados, da pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevista semi-estruturada e semi- diretiva tendo como sujeitos participantes do estudo, idosos em situação de pobreza e profissionais que intervêm com os idosos a nível local. A recolha de dados realizou-se em três instituições da União das freguesias do Laranjeiro e Feijó nos dias 10, 12 e 16 de Maio de 2016 e 1 de Junho do ano referido. Sendo que os idosos foram entrevistados apenas numa das instituições pela facilidade de acesso aos mesmos.
Deste modo, parece-nos legítimo afirmar que a pobreza implica sempre a ideia de precariedade das condições de vida na medida em que tal como eles próprios sublinharam vivem com muito poucos recursos. Deixam em evidência que a maioria dos utentes do centro de dia da instituição em estudo, vivem com os rendimentos, das pensões de velhice muito baixas. Dos cinco utentes entrevistados apenas uma demostrou ter rendimento suficiente para viver com o filho. Os restantes utentes sentem-se remediados, referindo que vivem com poucos rendimentos. Quanto à satisfação demostrada pelos serviços prestados pela instituição que os apoia, na sua generalidade os utentes entrevistados classificaram como positivo, evidenciando as medidas de combate a pobreza dos idosos nas freguesias do Laranjeiro e Feijó, enunciadas pelos profissionais entrevistados as mesmas consubstanciam-se fundamentalmente em trabalho em rede, parcerias, articulação, coordenação em ordem à obtenção de respostas complementares. Algumas dessas respostas incluem a prestação de bens alimentares, prestações pecuniárias eventuais para vários fins. Também o centro de dia, apoio domiciliário, a ação social, e intervenção comunitária direta, assim como a cantina social, constituem-se como respostas a população idosa em situação de pobreza a nível local.
This work entitled Poverty of the Elderly in Portugal. The perception of the Poverty of the Elderly in the Union Parishes of Laranjeiro and Feijo aims to understand the perception that the elderly have of their poverty situation, how to manage their situation, as well as the perception of the professionals that lend social support the local level to the debate to this phenomenon. The inductive, discretionary and interpretive method follows the methodology in an essentially qualitative approach resorting fundamentally in terms of techniques of data collection, bibliographical research and semi-structured and semi-directive interview with subjects of the study, elderly in the situation of poverty and professionals who intervene with the elderly at the local level. Data collection was carried out in three institutions of the Parish Union of Laranjeiro and Feijó on 10, 12 and 16 May 2016 and 1 June of the referred year. Being that the elderly were interviewed only in one of the institutions by the facilitie of access to them. In this way, it seems legitimate to say that poverty always implies the idea of precarious living conditions to the extent that, as they themselves have pointed out, they live with very few resources. They make it clear that the majority of users of the day care center of the study institution live on the income from very low old age pensions. Of the five users interviewed, only one person showed sufficient income to live with the child. The remaining users feel remediated, saying that they live on low incomes. As for the satisfaction shown by the services provided by the institution that supports them, in general the users interviewed classified as positive, evidencing the measures to combat poverty of the elderly in the parishes of Laranjeiro and Feijó, enunciated by the professio1nals interviewed, are essentially based on networking, partnerships, coordination and coordination in order to obtain complementary responses. Some of these responses include the provision of food, occasional cash benefits for various purposes. Day center, home support, social action, and direct community intervention, as well as the social canteen, constitute responses to the elderly population living in poverty at the local level.
