Abstract

The theme of rural social security has been widely discussed in recent days, especially as a consequence of the economic protagonism of rural retirees and pensioners as having special entitlements. The present article seeks to analyze, by means of a document research, the dualist view of rural social security that the National Confederation of Agricultural Workers – Contag (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura) brought to the Constitution of 1987/1988. This duality was expressed in the claim for, on the one hand, a compulsory contributive system for rural wage earners, classified in the social security legislation as rural workers; on the other hand, a special sub-system for the special policyholders, who were classified as agriculturists in a family economy system.
