Abstract
This study is based on a socio-demographic analysis guided by gender perspective. It aims to understand whether the needs of the male and female population of the parish of Bonfim, a city of Porto in Portugal, are different. It also seeks to reflect on the role of informal learning as a vital means for promoting gender equality in intergenerational programs.
