In order to do so, it analyses the evolution of three disciplinary areas: the theory of demographic aging, introduced by the economist Alejandro Bunge; the medical knowledge about old age, and the place of the elders in the law until the sanction of the Rights of the Elderly in 1948. The analysis begins in the nineteenth century but focuses its attention on the 1940s, the decisive moment for the public emergence of old age and aging as an issue on the agenda of social policies. El artículo aborda los saberes que confluyeron en la emergencia del envejecimiento y la vejez como temas de la agenda política y social.  Para ello reconstruye la evolución de tres áreas disciplinares: la teoría del envejecimiento demográfico, introducida por el economista Alejandro Bunge; los saberes médicos sobre la vejez, y el lugar de los ancianos en el derecho hasta la sanción de los Derechos de la Ancianidad en 1948. El análisis se inicia en el siglo XIX pero centra su atención en la década de 1940, momento decisivo para la emergencia pública de la vejez y el envejecimiento como tema de agenda de las políticas sociales.
