ABSTRACT
The article deals with the relationship between population aging and Adult Education in the city of São Paulo (SP) and aims to debate the challenges generated by longevity that need to be faced by state and municipal governments. A demographic and educational diagnosis of the municipality’s elderly population was made and for theoretical and methodological basis, the contributions of Di Pierro (2017) and Lima (2007) to the study of Adult Education, of Debert (2012) to the issues of aging stand out, and Bartlett and Vavrus (2017) to carry out the comparative case study in state and municipal education networks. It was concluded that public management needs to adopt an intersectoral approach, overcome the compensatory vision and strengthen Adult Education, intensifying the active search for elderly people with low education, in addition to including the theme of aging in the continued training of teachers and technicians.
