The president of the IBGE, Marcio Pochmann, was visited by the minister of Social Security, Wolney Queiroz, on Thursday (12), to discuss the future steps of the Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA), signed in order to integrate databases, methodologies, and improve statistical analyses and long-terms projections of the General, Special and Complementary Social Security Regimes.
The meeting held at the IBGE headquarters, in IBGE, gathered representatives of the technical staff of both institutions, who reinforced the strategicrelevance of sharing data for the formulation of public polciies based on evidence.
"Today we discussed possibilities to prepare a predictive policy for Social Security, which shows the evolution of Brazilian demography, the social effects of changes in the labor segment and provides support for the renovation planned by the Ministry for Brazil," Pochmann informed.
The Technical Cooperation Agreement, made official in 2024, also counts on the participation of the National Social Security Systems and of the of Social Security. The three institutions have appointed representatives for the TCA Implementation and Monitoring Commiitee, a governance instance that will allow the start of the activities listed in the workplan. One of the main differences of the agreement is the institutional synergy between the three parties, which have complementary competences.
“The work of the IBGE is essential for Social Security and vice versa. It is important that we be connected to anticipate future problems based on demographic data and on the knowledge of all the Brazilian society, and to identify the impacts of benefits of social security on the life of the population,” said Wolney Queiroz, Ministry of Social Security.
It is a duty of the Ministry of Social Security to formulate social security policies, elaborate actuarial analyses and produce strategic studies. The INSS is reponsible for the administrative collection and for databases on benefits and persons insured by the social security system. The IBGE is the institution in charge of the production of official statistics, demographic data and methodologies for socioeconomic analyses.
The articulation of these institutional capacities will allow to integrate statistical and administrative data, thus expanding the quality of analyses on the labor market, demographic dynamics and sustainability of the social security system.
