La manière dont est pensée et vécue la sexualité par les personnes âgées est aujourd’hui encore très peu documentée, a fortiori à propos des personnes qui résident en institution. Et rares sont les études empiriques plaçant au cœur de leurs dispositifs d’enquête la parole et les perceptions des personnes âgées elles-mêmes. Cet article, sur la base d’une enquête qualitative menée auprès de résidents d’établissements de long séjour de Suisse romande, interroge ces éventuels besoins ou envies, de même que l’effet de l’entrée en institution sur l’expression de cette vie affective et sexuelle.
This chapter explores the situation of older workers in Switzerland and reflects on the gender implications of extending working life policies and practices. Firstly, we describe the current employment patterns of older workers in the Swiss context, paying particular attention to gender differences over the life-course. In a second section, we present the three-pillar Swiss pension system, before going on to analyse the nature and the origins of the gender pension gap. In a final section, we summarize the most important extended working life policy initiatives that have taken place in recent years and discuss the mismatch between these reforms and the conservative gender regime that has influenced the life-course of current generations of older workers.
