Abstract

This essay has the objective to reflect of vulnerabilities and social risks experienced by the old workers like as expressions of the social question, inherent to the capital society. In the first section we have discuss concepts about the situation of risk and social vulnerability restricted under in the work in bourgeois society. So, we have talked about the processes of human aging and social inequality as mechanisms of violence. This theoretical essay, of a bibliographic search, follows the theoretical-methodological conception of dialectical historical materialism. We have concluded that the aging process, working class fractions, and social risk and vulnerability must be understood under the fabric of capitalist sociability, since they are surrounded by multidimensional factors.
