Social Protection Systems

Noemia Goulart and Carmen Camacho

No 02/2014, CFP Notebook from Portuguese Public Finance Council

Abstract: The current social protection model in Portugal reflects both the economic and social changes of the last decades, and a convergence to social protection levels verified in other European Union Member States. The specificity of the Portuguese system due to the late development of the Social Security System, explains the stronger growth of expenditure, when compared to its European counterparts. This feature of the Portuguese system, combined with the demographic trends forecasted for the coming decades, adds major challenges to public finances.
