The Commission for the Sustainability of Social Security was established by the Order No 9126/2022 of 26 July 2022 The aim is to draw up a Green Paper on the sustainability of the social security system, specifically with regard to pensions.
The Commission included members Ana Fernandes, Amílcar Moreira, Armindo Silva, Manuel Caldeira Cabral, Susana Peralta, Vítor Junqueira, Rui Nicola and Noémia Goulart and benefited from ILO technical support for the coordination of the work, represented by social protection expert Mariana Pereira, with the support of the MTSSS EPG.
The objective of the work was to progress in the knowledge of the changes promoted since the publication of the Basic Law on Social Security in force (Law No 4/2007 of 16 January 2007), as well as in the definition of strategies to be adopted in order to adapt the system and improve its performance in the financial and social dimensions, in view of current and future challenges.
The XXIV Constitutional Government decided to have a wide-ranging discussion of the content of the Green Paper, starting with the involvement of the Social Partners, and therefore:
- The Green Paper on the Sustainability of the Social Security System was made available to Social Partners on 30 July 2024 at the CPCS Plenary Meeting, and presented by the Commission on 16 October to the Working Group on Social Security Sustainability under the Tripartite Agreement on Wage Valuation and Economic Growth 2025-2028.
- The Green Paper in digital format is now publicly available, with the Government expecting contributions from society, researchers, academia, organisations, and anyone wishing to join, by 15 December 2024 to the email address LVSSP@gep.mtsss.pt.
