Abstract

The objective of the study was to characterize the types of accident benefits granted to the elderly in Brazil, based on the data records contained in the Statistical Yearbook of Social Security/Ministry of Social Security, for the years 2011 to 2015. This is a retrospective study, with a quantitative and descriptive approach. The search prioritized the records of accident benefits granted to the elderly, that is, at the age of 60 years or more. This survey allowed observing important data on occupational accidents in Brazil in the age group of 60 years or more. Another important factor to consider is that the information in this research intends to be an important instrument for the reflection of the working process of elderly people in relation to the indicators addressed by the research, since those rates estimate the risk of the elderly to suffer an occupational accident and consequent to the granting of accident benefits.

Keywords: Elderly person; Occupational accident; Accident benefits; Social Security.
