Resumo(s)
Our paper sought to analyse the influence of the educational background over various
dimensions of the lives of Portuguese older men (age 60+) across the life course.
Drawing on the theory of cumulative advantages and disadvantages we used
biographical research, namely narrative interviews with men from different educational
background: men with a very low educational background and men with a medium/high
educational background. Our results show the influence of educational background in
the life course, and how it can contribute to accumulation of advantages/disadvantages
that explain their biographies and the very different situations in which they live today.
