AMBER, Diana  and  DOMINGO, Jesús. Unemployment in people over 45 years old: A vicious circle?. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.2, pp.194-207. ISSN 1679-3390.  https://doi.org/10.26707/1984-7270/2017v18n2p195.

This work aims to determine the potentialities and access obstacles to employment shown by the unemployed and workers over 45 years old at risk of exclusion, as well as the existing social perceptions about this group, according to the experts' perception. The research methodology used is mixed. The instrument used in the data collection process is the discursive interview with experts. The main results show how the most frequent perceptions, drawn from the experts' discourse, conceive the unemployed over 45 years without training, as vulnerable people and with an uncertain labor future. The conclusions support the association between the most encouraging perceptions and training.

Keywords : unemployment; discrimination at work; social perception; discourse analysis.
