Abstract

A dependência funcional em pessoas idosas tem sido um fenômeno estudado em vários países cujas mudanças demográficas apontam para um aumento da população nesta faixa etária. No Brasil, a questão vem despertando o interesse de gestores públicos, bem como da sociedade, uma vez que começam a surgir demandas específicas de atenção no tocante aos cuidados pessoais, domésticos e médicos de longa duração. Na perspectiva de contribuir com o debate nacional a respeito da organização da proteção para as pessoas idosas dependentes, este texto apresenta um diagnóstico do perfil dos idosos e dos idosos dependentes no país, e faz breve análise da proteção atualmente ofertada ao idoso pelo sistema brasileiro de Seguridade Social. Por fim, discute alguns dos desafios que se apresentam para a política pública frente a essa nova situação.
