<h2>Old Age, Disability, and Survivors</h2>
|
|
<h3>Regulatory Framework</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">First laws:</span> 1904 to 1958 (various laws on special categories).</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Current laws:</span> 1971 <span class="nobr">(old-age</span> and disability pensions); 2004 (early retirement), implemented in 2005; 2008 (pensions adjustment); 2008 (pensions), implemented in 2009; and 2013 (debt regularization for self-employed persons).</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Type of program:</span> Social insurance and social assistance system.</p>

<p>Note: From 1994 until the end of 2008, there was a mixed system consisting of a first-pillar public <span class="nobr">pay-as-you-go</span> (<abbr class="spell">PAYG</abbr>) program and a second pillar of individual accounts. Workers could choose to participate in both pillars, or to divert all contributions to the first-pillar <abbr class="spell">PAYG</abbr> program. A 2008 law closed the second-pillar individual accounts and transferred all workers and their account balances to the new first-pillar <abbr class="spell">PAYG</abbr> system.</p>
