Abstract

The 1980s have been a time of change in the debate around social security in
Brazil. Being first a topic of medicine and actuaries, since it started to present successive
deficits, it has called the attention of economists. This paper aims to debate the crisis of the
social security system, the possible origins of its deficit, and alternatives to funding.
