No 97, Discussion Papers from Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada - IPEA

Abstract: This paper presents a summarized picture of the Brazilian Social Insurance System, both in terms of the system that cover workers in private sector — Regime Geral de Previdência Social (RGPS) (General Regime for Social Security) — and in terms of the various systems that cover public servants hired under the civil service unified regime — Regime Jurídico Único (RJU) (Pension Regime for Government Workers). After a brief analysis of its historical evolution, a diagnosis of the current situation will be presented. Finally, the various reforms are evaluated in terms of their economic impact for the 2000-2030 time horizon. The conclusion is that, despite substantial deficit reductions, further reforms are crucial to restore equilibrium. O trabalho oferece uma visão resumida da previdência social no Brasil, tanto em termos do Regime Geral de Previdência Social (RGPS) como dos regimes previdenciários, cuja clientela são os funcionários públicos pertencentes ao Regime Jurídico Único (RJU). Após uma breve análise da sua evolução histórica, esboça-se um diagnóstico e apresenta-se a situação atual. Finalmente, são analisados os impactos econômico-financeiros das várias medidas tomadas para o horizonte 2000-2030. Conclui-se que, embora os déficits experimentem substanciais reduções, futuras reformas serão indispensáveis.
