An exploratory qualitative research was conducted aiming to identify the determinants of subjective well-being of older adults living in poverty. A total of 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted in a sample of men and women from 60 to 80 years old. Data were analyzed using the grounded theory approach, and the results showed that subjective well-being in older adults is determined by: perceived self-control, social support, linkage to productive activities, economic security, health, cultural factors, personal strengths and opportunity to access information and training. With this findings, a model that defines the relationships between the categories and sub-categories was built.
