Issues related to public social security have generated widedebate between society and government. The average citizen cares about the fair measure between what he pays in the present and how much he will receive from retirement in the future. In view of this, this article aims to define according to the foundations of actuarial science, the fair measure between the value of contributions (payments) and the value of benefits (retirement) managed by the General Social Security Regime – RGPS as a tool of social (in)justice. The methodology used to obtain all parameters relevant to the RGPS as well as to the actuarial social security regime was the creation of situations involving men and women under specific conditions of entry into the social security system of initial age, retirement age and contribution salary and from these input data, the values of contribution and benefits were calculated through the Matlab program , where calculations were operationalized as a calculation routine. The results were segmented by gender (male or female) and income range, it was observed that social security contribution rate, the most important parameter to define the value of contributions to the RGPS, from 28% to 31% is very high in comparison with the rate calculated by actuarial science of 16% to 17% for men and 13% to 14% for women. It is concluded that for the ordinary citizen subject to the rules of the RGPS in force, the amounts of the contributions paid that reflect the retirement benefits received differ from the fair measure, calculated by actuarial science, therefore, it was not observed factors that attest that the RGPS is fair to the taxpayer and therefore to society.

Abstract The 2008 financial crisis has brought Greece in a constrictive situation, given that the country lacked a comprehensive social safety net, the national social protection model was strongly fragmented and public spending focused on civil servants salaries and state pensions. Almost a decade afterwards, the reform of the social security system continues with suffocating fiscal constraints exercising a decisive influence on policy options. In this challenging context, Greece constitutes a unique case for discussing the complexities of the link between migration and social protection during austerity times. The debate on the access of migrants to social security benefits is both interesting and sensitive, in view of the fact that the equal treatment of European Union (EU) and non-EU migrants is subject to controversial discussions about benefit tourism and its potential risks for the sustainability of an already fragile social security regime.

The main goal of this paper is to estimate a Disability Beneficiaries Life Table from the General Social Security Regime for Private Sector Workers (rgps) by sex, age and disability cause in Brazil using multiple-decrement models. We used administrative records from Technological Enterprises and Social Security Information (dataprev 1999- 2002), and the information of social beneficiaries given by National Records of Social Information (cnis 1999-2002).The results show that –in contradiction with the disability life tables used in the private sector– the male disability retirement hazard increases steadily until age 65 and decreases afterwards. However, for females, these risks increase continuously up to the oldest age. More sex differentials show that, among women, the risk of disability retirement is larger due to circulatory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases and neoplasms. Among males, mental disorders are the most responsible for an overweight in the number of pensioners, especially among the young and adult age groups. This paper contributes to a better understanding of work and disability, especially in the field of social security and retirement.
