Abstract
The article analyzes the proposal of social security reform made by the Temer administration. We investigate the financial sustainability of the proposal and its actuarial justice. We consider the rules contained in the original proposal. We try to answer two related questions: (i) what should be the contribution aliquot for the proposal to be financially balanced? and (ii) what is the implicit internal rate of return of the Temer proposal? For that, we developed an actuarial model that is simulated for the generation with 25 years of age in 2015 based on the PNAD. The financial sustainability of the proposal is very sensitive to productivity growth and the formalization rate of the economy. Assuming the current rates of formalization and productivity growth of 2% per year, the equilibrium aliquot for the representative agent would be higher than the proposed rate of 28%. However, the implicit rate of return for the representative agent is around 3%, which is significantly lower than the average of the basic interest rates in the Brazilian economy in the last decades.
