Brazil informal workers worry about retirement but avoid INSS contributions

A survey by Abrapp/IBRC shows that 77% of informal workers and 70% of app-based platform workers in Brazil are concerned about their financial situation in old age, yet most do not save or contribute to the INSS. This highlights a structural gap in Brazil's social security coverage, with potential long-term fiscal and social implications. The data is based on a single survey and reflects self-reported behavior, so actual contribution rates may vary.
