RESUMO

In 1981, under the dictatorship of the general Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean pension system went through the most radical reform ever seen. Years later, the Chilean private pension system became a role model recommended by the World Bank and inspired several other reforms in Latin America and around the globe. Soon, the implemented model that had promised higher pensions and extended coverage proved itself excessively costly, and the fiscal expenses supposed to decrease, turned out higher than expected. The short comes of the Chilean pension system became more explicit once international agencies that had once supported it started admitting the failures. Also, Michelle Bachelet s government stated the need for change, putting into practice the promised considerable reform. However, the reform started being discussed in 2006, before the financial crises of 2008 that now puts its effectiveness in doubt and brings up the risk of forcing many Chileans to have pensions below the set minimum amount
