Brazil's pension system takes up
an oversized proportion of its social protection spending.
It comprises of Regime Geral de Previdéncia Social (RGPS),
covering private sector workers, and over two thousand
Regimes Pröprios de Previdéncia Social (RPPS), insuring
public civil servants at federal and subnational levels.
While the total membership of RPPS only stands at about 10
percent of RGPS coverage, its spending amounts to almost
half of RGPS pension outlays. This paper attempts to present
an integrated view of RPPS pension schemes, their influence
on subnational budgets, and their interaction with human
resource policies. After a brief introduction, Chapter 3
starts by documenting the history of civil service and its
associated pension schemes, looking for explanations on how
subnational RPPS became so big, dispersed, and difficult to
reform. The fiscal consequences of subnational civil service
pension scheme expansion and maturation, including RPPS role
in the fiscal challenges and policies of the last few years,
are discussed in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 attempts to expose
important interlinkages between pension and human resource
policies and argues for the need of integrated policy
approach. Chapter 6 describes the history of previous RPPS
reform attempts, while Chapter 7 focuses on the effects of
federal pension reform of 2019 on subnational civil servant
pension schemes. The paper ends with lessons and policy
recommendations for the future. |
