In Brazil, it has aroused interest of public agents and society due to the appearance of specific demands related to personal, domestic and medical long term care. Aiming to contribute to the debate regarding the provision of social protection to this public, this text presents an overview of the social situation of aged people and dependent/frail elderly in Brazil, as well as a short analyses concerning the benefits and services offered by the Brazilian social security system. Finally, the document discusses some of the challenges that this new phenomenon brings up to public policy.
