An analysis of the millennial generation's perception of social security

Objective: Identify and analyze the perception of the Millennial's generation on social security. Methodology: Survey-type survey technique, with the application of a structured questionnaire through the Lime Survey (R) tool, sent to approximately 15 thousand people from all regions of Brazil, with 21 structured questions. The selection of respondents was based on open bases, focusing on the age group in which this generation is located. For each of the questions that make up the structured questionnaire, the non-parametric Chi-Square test was performed to verify differences in the evaluation of the control variables. Results: Contrary to the analyzed study bases, most Brazilian Millennials survey respondents think or are concerned about the formation of their retirements. Among the confirmed hypotheses, the research findings show that Millennials are afraid of facing difficulties in relation to their retirements and consider that achieving a secure retirement will be a very complicated task in the future. Despite the low participation of this generation in supplementary pension plans, most claim to have enormous interest in this regard, contributing to the literature on the subject. Study contributions: In addition to helping to understand how Millennials deal with the issue of social security, this study can contribute to the development ofpublic policies aimed at social security education for young people.
