This paper is an approximation to the expectations and valuations by older female workers about their own retirement and old age in Chile. We study and measure the changes observed in the occupational career and life of women workers in the context of transformation that the Chilean society has experienced in the last time. The position in and the relationship of the hard-working women with the social, domestic and family world has been evolving towards new forms of experience of the retirement and construction of the old age
