Os desafios da sustentabilidade do sistema previdenciário brasileiro.

Abstract

The present work has the general objective of analyzing the possibility of the Brazilian social security system collapsing due to the accelerated growth of the elderly population and failing to fulfill the function imposed by the Federal Constitution. With regard to specific objectives, it was necessary to address the concept of social security; also discussing the Brazilian history of social security; and finally, analyze the sustainability challenges of the Brazilian pension system. To achieve these objectives, the deductive methodology was used, using bibliographic material, using books, monographs, scientific articles and consulting websites. The social security system is a social protection system created to guarantee the economic well-being and financial security of people during retirement and in situations of adversity, but social security faces risks due to population aging, where the proportion of elderly people is increasing year after year and young people decreasing. This imbalance can threaten the financial sustainability of pension systems, leading to challenges in providing adequate benefits to policyholders, difficulties in financing social security and potentially causing the failure of the Brazilian pension system, causing it to fail to fulfill its function.
