Abstract

The objective of this article was to trace the evolution of the Brazilian Social Security Program in its 90 years of history, aiming to identify possible obstacles
and barriers in its path to the fulfillment of social rights and to understand which factors contributed to form the current financial situation of the social-security system.
We chose to divide the 90 years that marked the social insurance scenario into five distinguished moments according to their peculiarities, based on studies such as
those of Malloy (1979), Oliveira and Teixeira (1989), Vianna (1998) and Santos (2009), in which the aspects related to the financial and political issues as well as the
influence of public administration models in the formation of the welfare policies were analyzed. We noticed that the social insurance policies have been characterized
by having a somewhat small redistributive role, a low democratic legitimacy of workers coalitions, a lack of bureaucratic autonomy and of professionalization of social
classes, and low mobilization ability, hindering the management of social-security policies aimed to meet the social-welfare requirements of the population.
