On-demand social security public policies: strategic aspects for reflection and improvement of the “Meu INSS” application as a predictive tool

Abstract

The introduction of Brazil's Social Security policy has clearly contributed to improving levels of social welfare and several other social, political and economic parameters. However, given technological advances and the Federal Government's increasing capacity to capture and store data, there is fertile ground for significant innovations in the area of ​​digital systems. Given this scenario, the objective of this article is to explore and bring to light some reflections on the possibility of improving social security policy, especially with regard to the use of the “Meu INSS” application as a predictive tool for monitoring future social security beneficiaries. To this end, the approach adopted here is inductive-exploratory. From this perspective, this article suggests that a more proactive movement in government technical management is necessary and beneficial for both workers and the government itself, since it is in line with the major innovations already introduced at the national level.
