Envelhecimento funcional e suas implicações para a oferta da força de trabalho brasileira

Resumo

The paper presents the results of an exploratory analysis about possible impacts of early reduction of individuals’ functional capacity on the Brazilian labor force, specifically on early retirement. This task has been difficult due to the lack of information. An exercise was done using data from administrative registers on benefits concessions from the Social Security Ministry (Regime Geral de Previdência Social - RGPS) and from the Health Supplement of the National Household Survey (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios – Pnad) for the years of 1998 and 2003. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), aging workers are those with 45 years of age or plus. It is assumed that over this age, functional capacities tend to reduce in the absence of prevention measures and adequate work conditions
 and result in early retirement of the labor force. The results do not point to a trend of increase on early retirement due to occupational morbidity. They suggest changes in its profile. Nevertheless, it is expected that transformations in the labor market associated to demographic ones, such as population aging and increase in women participation in economic activities, in absence of medical and technological advances that allow a better adaptation for the worker to the new demands of the productive process, may result in early retirement.
