Sumario:The presence of individuals over the age of 45 in the labour market constitutes a significant part of today’s active workforce. In a context of social, economic, and technological transformations, this reality poses a number of challenges for this age group, related to adaptability, age discrimination, prejudice, and barriers to professional opportunities. The aim of this study is to give voice to veteran workers in order to understand their situation and perception of the labour market, as well as to gather the views of other age groups regarding this affected collective. Using a mixed methodology combining surveys and interviews, the research reveals generational stereotypes that reflect a distortion between reality and perception, as well as discriminatory practices that hinder the professional trajectory of older individuals. Despite the difficulties they face in terms of labour market integration and career development, these individuals demonstrate a strong willingness to remain professionally active, a particularly relevant factor in the context of an ageing population. The conclusions highlight the need to promote inclusive policies and actions that support the integration of older workers into the labour market, capitalising on their skills and accumulated experience, both for their personal and economic well-being and for the sustainability of the productive system.
