Reformas previdenciárias: uma análise comparativa da trajetória brasileira e chilena

Abstract

Considering the discussions on social security reform in Brazil, fiscal adjustment and the need for sustainability of the social security system, this paper proposes to analyze the social security systems in Brazil - Previdência Social, basically a simple pay-as-you-go model - and in Chile – Previsión Social, initially a capitalization model, which today more resembles a mixed system. For that, a methodological procedure was used to compare some of the relevant elements for discussion, namely: history, concepts and characteristics of social security systems, demographic statistics of both countries and, finally, the analysis of some macroeconomic aggregates and other evidences in the context of social security. Finally, the work allowed to clarify how the reform process occurred in the countries - through the analyzes carried out, it was possible to understand the current situation of the two social security systems and their reflection on the public finances of the governments.
