Infeasibility of unretirement in the general social security system

The aim of this book is to analyse the legal and procedural unfeasibility of the institute of desaposentação i.e. renouncing a retirement pension in order to apply for a new more advantageous benefit. To this end it was necessary to examine the origin and concept of Social Security as well as the types of retirement existing in the current Brazilian legal system. In addition it was also necessary to analyse in detail the concept of disaposentation and then the main arguments that guide the discussion of the matter including those used in the main judgement of the Federal Supreme Court - STF on the subject promoting a systemic examination within the current social security and constitutional framework. Using comparative law the solution given by Spanish legislation to the specific case was presented identifying the possibility or not of its application in the Brazilian legal scenario.
