SOCIAL IMPACT OF PRE- AND POST-PENSION REFORM PROGRAMMED RETIREMENT ON URBAN WORKERS

Abstract

Programmed retirement is a social security benefit that aims to ensure an organized transition from working life to inactivity, ensuring an income for the worker after the end of his professional activity, for men and women. The research seeks to analyze the impact of this type of retirement in the current context, considering the aging population and changes in social security policies. Increasing life expectancy and a decreasing birth rate result in a growing elderly population, while the number of contributors to social security decreases, raising concerns about the sustainability of the system. The study is justified by its social, academic and practical relevance, addressing the challenges of the pension reform and the effects on those who are already entitled to the benefit and future retirees. The objectives are to present general aspects of the programmed retirement; analyze the changes with EC 103/2019 and; evaluate the impact of the Social Security reform on the new programmed retirement. The research used bibliographic and documentary techniques, based on relevant works and documents on the subject, with qualitative analysis of the data. It is verified that the changes brought about by the reform made access to retirement difficult, especially for informal workers and in poorer regions, such as the North and Northeast of Brazil.
