Reforma do sistema previdenciário brasileiro : reflexões dos economistas

Abstract

The present paper proposes to analyze the reform of the Brazilian social security system. For this, the discussions were segmented into parts using as a method the bibliographic review of authors, such as: Oliveira et al. (1994), Rangel et al. (2009) and others. The first part dealt with the reconstruction of the social security system and covered Legislative Decree No. 4,682, known as the Eloy Chaves Law, homologated on January 14, 1923, until the 1954 Constitution - a period represented by the low state participation in functions of administration and management of the social security system. The second part was the cut from 1960 to 1980, showing how the centralization of the military regime and the end of the economic miracle directly influenced the financing structure of social security expenditures. In the third clipping, the effects of the Federal Constitution of 1988 on the social security system and the reforms made in the period after the promulgation of the constitution were presented, opening the space for the presentation of the fourth part, in which were presented the arguments used to deal with current Proposal for Constitutional Amendment 287/16 of the social security system, proposed during the government of Michel Temer. The fifth and last part dealt with the participation of economists in the reconstruction of the four cuts discussed above, trying to demonstrate their participation in the process of historical reconstruction of the social security system.
