Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the perception of older workers regarding their work and the insertion of technologies in their work activities. This is an analytical and cross-sectional study with a qualitative-quantitative approach involving 30 older workers with a mean age of 63.3 years. While recognizing their limitations and difficulties in the use of technologies in the workplace, older workers recognize the importance of their work and desire to remain employed.
