The cooperative enterprise is being strengthened in Cuba as part of the political effort to update the Cuban model of economic and social development. That update is happening in an environment of a very aged society, and this factor has to be observed in its broadest dimension. For this reason, the following study has as objective, to value, from a psycho-social-legal perspective, the distinctive elements of the cooperative that make of this a viable space for the realization of the right of participation of the older adults. In order to comply with the proposed objective, methods specific to Legal Sciences were used, such as: legal history, legal doctrine and technical-legal analysis itself, which made possible to deal with some doctrinal and historical considerations on ageing and participation in the legal environment of the elderly, as well as the assessment of the potential of the cooperative for the socio-economic insertion of the elderly, based on the principles of vital continuity and participation that are enshrined in studies on old age.

Palabras clave : cooperatives; participation; older adults; ageing.
