Life expectancy is an average of the number of years of existence of a certain population for a certain period of time, however, retrospect makes it possible to locate significant changes in this matter at the present time according to the geographical areas, cultures and living conditions observed. Given this, focusing the study on elderly people makes us consider the realities of their life expectancy and what is tacitly regulated for this group of people in Bolivia, for this reason this research focuses on analyzing tacit life expectancy. and real according to criteria of the Bolivian retirement system, understanding that it generates implications for older adults and the young active population. Methodologically, it is an analytical - descriptive study under a quantitative approach, being basic research under a non-experimental and transactional design. The findings show that unemployment in Bolivia among the young workforce is because formally employed people who have reached retirement age do not take advantage of this benefit because the monetary benefits received for this concept are low, generating detriment to their status as economic-social well-being achieved. Therefore, it is concluded that the way of calculating life expectancy of 110 years established in the retirement system does not take into account the contextualization of the Bolivian elderly but rather European patterns that in no way reconcile with the stated reality and both more so when considering the data on the probability of survival to that life expectancy according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance of 0%, which is very far from reality
