OS MODELOS CHILENO E BRASILEIRO DE PROTEÇÃO SOCIAL: conjuntura, rupturas e similaridades

Pension systems are different, they vary from country to country according to the social policy adopted. But they are equal in the sense of being a financial resource that will be offered to the adult population when they are unable to exercise their labor capacity. Chile is considered the pioneer when it comes to implementing structural reforms of a neoliberal character in social security. In Brazil, it has also been introducing reforms of the same character in social security. Based on this issue, this study aimed to analyze the approximation between the reforms introduced between Brazil and Chile and the socioeconomic impacts that tend to be caused to policyholders. To accomplish the proposed objective, a qualitative bibliographic research was used. It was found that Brazil and Chile have some similarities as elderly people having their rights hard won, being curtailed in each Constitutional Reform and Amendment approved by the Senate, modifying the logic of the social security system towards its financialization.
