While the specific aim of the first focus group was to identify the aging training needs of professionals, who work with assistance\/support to the elderly population, the aim of the second group was to identify the training interests of the retired or pre-retired elderly population. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The results show on the one hand professional\u2019s main challenges in working with elderly population in Portugal, their training needs and what exactly could be an adequate training for them in the area of aging as compared to the existing ones, and on the other hand who are the strongly committed elderly people, what are their training needs and what could exactly be for them an adequate training in the area of aging as compared to the existing ones. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The authors can conclude that both social professionals and senior population in Portugal have a need for a post-graduate training in the area of aging. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 Only by humanization at multilevel and a specific training for professionals and for families will we be able to deliver the opportunities and support that the citizens will need to enable them to age well across the life course. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Social implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 Given the rapidly changing and complex demography of Portugal it is essential to give attention to training in rethinking the support of the elderly population in Portugal. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The authors need to develop empowerment and social inclusion of the elderly population in the society.<\/jats:p>\n
