| Description: | Non-contributory pension programme targeted to informal rural workers in Brazil, part of the General Social Welfare Regime (RGPS) The program synthesizes various social security developments in that area since 1971. Retirement ages are 60 for men and 55 for women. It also includes the regulatory guidelines of the 1988 Constitution, ensuring a basic pension equal to the minimum wage for workers who are not embedded in the pension and retirement systems and are in a disadvantaged position within Brazilian society. Its direct predecessor is the rural version of the "Renda Mensal Vitalicia" , implemented by the military government. |

| Comments: | In 2005, the Brazilian Congress opened a debate on specific aspects of the coverage of Rural Welfare, about a possible inclusion of agricultural workers living in urban areas and the exclusion of rural residents who worked in urban economic activities and / or outside the family economy. It was determined as a condition not to exceed 90 days per year on the exercise of non-agricultural economic activities or outside the domestic economy (no need for an employment contract) to hold the special pension rights. |
