January 24th is Retirees' Day
January 24th is Retirees' Day in Brazil, a date dedicated to honoring those who, after years of dedication to work, have achieved the right to retirement. The date is also an opportunity to highlight the importance of this group for society and reinforce the need for public policies that guarantee their quality of life.
The choice of the day is related to the signing of the Eloy Chaves Law, on January 24, 1923, which established the first Retirement and Pension Fund in Brazil, the starting point of the country's social security system.
Retirees' Day is marked by events organized by unions, professional associations and public agencies, which promote debates on social security rights, health, and quality of life for retirees. In addition, the date is also a time to reflect on the challenges faced by this population, such as access to benefits and the impact of social security reforms.
