Resumen
En las últimas tres décadas, el Perú ha experimentado un aumento de hogares
unipersonales entre los adultos mayores, sobre todo en sus zonas más rurales. Analizar
cuáles son las circunstancias y motivos en los que se viene desarrollando este fenómeno
es de vital importancia, si consideramos que los adultos mayores son una población que,
de por sí, es vulnerable por sus propias características físicas. En ese sentido, el presente
trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo principal analizar los modos de vida
individuales, familiares y comunales de los adultos mayores que radican en la provincia
rural de Huancané (Puno), así como sus estrategias de afrontamiento hacia las distintas
vulnerabilidades que los afectan. Los resultados indican que los adultos mayores se
sostienen sobre los regímenes familista, vecinal y comunal. Situación que limita en gran
medida sus posibilidades de buen vivir a su asignación natural de nacimiento; es decir,
lo relacionado a sus familias y al territorio donde nacieron. Para llegar a esta premisa,
recurrimos a entrevistas semiestructuradas con adultos mayores que se encuentran en
esta situación, así como a la observación de sus modos de vida rurales. Además, nos
apoyamos en data demográfica de los censos, encuestas de hogares y portales de
consulta del Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI).
In the last three decades, Peru has experienced an increase in single-person households among older adults, especially in its most rural areas. Analyzing the circumstances and reasons for this phenomenon is of vital importance, if we consider that older adults are a population that, in itself, is vulnerable due to its own physical characteristics. In this sense, the main objective of this research work is to analyze the individual, family and communal lifestyles of older adults living in the rural province of Huancané (Puno), as well as their coping strategies towards the different vulnerabilities that affect them. The results indicate that older adults are supported by familist, neighborhood and communal regimes. A situation that greatly limits their possibilities of living well according to their natural birth assignment; that is, what is related to their families and the territory where they were born. To reach this premise, we resorted to semi-structured interviews with older adults who are in this situation, as well as to the observation of their rural lifestyles. In addition, we rely on demographic data from censuses, household surveys and consultation portals of the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics of Peru (INEI).
