The FLEXIBILIZATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL INSURED

Abstract

The Federal Constitution in its art. 195 §8 considers as a special insured the rural worker who carries out his activities under a family regime without the help of permanent employees. Spouses, partners and children over 16 years of age who work with their family in rural activities are also included in this quality. Based on the principle of isonomy, the constitutional text guarantees them differentiated treatment so that they can have access to social security benefits as well as urban workers. Thus, the present research aims to analyze the protection of the small rural worker as a special insured, guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and by the social security infra-constitutional laws.
