Previdência complementar fechada: garantias ao equilíbrio contratual com vistas à dignidade da pessoa humana do aposentado

Abstract

Labor laws were created during the Industrial Revolution. Nowadays the globalized economy, combined with the changes in the means of production, keep the production activities as the focus of attention. Retirement, however, is becoming dreadful. Not only because of the social dogmas involving old age. The crisis in the state social security scares the most optimistic ones. The consequence of this fact is an increase in the number of people who choose to contribute to closed private pension entities. Some sectors of our society should turn their attention to this type of retirement, though. There is no support for the workers trying to find ways which can provide them with a proper old age. Through an epistemological analysis of issues involving contributions to closed private pension entities and having in mind a retired person s dignity, we reflect on the mechanisms required to implement juridical equality between the worker and the private entity he hires the services of within the scope of private enterprise. We defend that individual and collective acts should work together in an organized society and add self-organization conditions to this system so as to make concrete a retired person s dignity.
