AB  - This paper is based on an investigation entitled "Unmet Needs in Portugal - Tradition
and emerging trends". Among other objectives, the study in question sought to develop
an operative notion of needs, interpreting them as generated by the non-achievement
of individual aspirations / expectations, through mismatch between opportunities and
capabilities, in a dynamic process between the social context of action and the individual.
Of the six case studies conducted within the scope of the research, we extracted the
analysis of how two of those groups (adults in transition to retirement and adults in
training transition) face the complex relationship that involves the satisfaction of their
needs. We chose the first group because it allows us to analyse how these (older) adults
live an important period of transition and the consequent recomposition of their needs
that this stage of life (the transition to retirement) entails. In the case of adults in training
transition, we use the testimonies of this group as an aid to understand how learning
processes (at least, formal ones) interfere with the questioning, perception and
achievement of the unmet needs. Therefore, a better understanding of the possible
centrality of education in contributing to the satisfaction of needs, and its impact on
well-being.
