<p> years. Unemployed since 2014, she lives with her parents in the 90s and depends on <strong> retirement </strong> for basic expenses. Two undergraduate and graduate courses are not enough to put her back on the market and pay back the salary she earned as a marketing coordinator. </p>
<p> Like Carmen, at least 10.8 million Brazilians depend on the income of retired seniors to live. In the last year alone, the number of households with more than 75% of their income coming from pensions has increased by 12% from 5.1 million to 5.7 million. The study conducted by LCA Consultores at the request of the newspaper <strong> The State of São Paulo </strong> considers households where at least one person lives who are not retired or retired and who shelter a total of 16.9 million people, including retirees themselves. </p>
<p> This dependence has always been stronger in the Northeast, where PT governments have seen benefits such as pensions and family allowances grow more than earnings from work. Unemployment, however, brings more households in other parts of the country to the same situation. In the north-east, the share of social security in family income increased from 19.9% in 2014 to 23.2% in 2017. In the country, it was from 16.3% to 18.5%, according to Trends. </p>
<p> "As the labor market takes time to recover, pensions end up making room for the family budget," says Cosmo Donato, LCA economist and head of the study. </p>
<p> In households where more than 75% of the income comes from retired metallurgist Antonio Alves de Souza, 72, with an income of 3,000 reais, supports three unemployed children aged 26, 32 and 36 years. They do not live together, but they do all their meals and bathe in the house of Souza. When there is money to pay the bills, it is also the father to whom the three resort. "If the income was only for me and my wife, I could break the branch, but there is no way I have to help because they can not find a job." </p>
<p> This is not a unique phenomenon in Brazil. In Spain, at the height of the recent recession, economists have come to call the old Spaniards the silent heroes of the crisis by financially banning unemployed children and grandchildren, and to some extent avoiding social collapse. "In Brazil, grandparents turn into family members," says Dr. Alexandre Kalache, Longevity Specialist </p>
<p> "In Brazil, grandparents become a breadwinner." "They absorb the impact of unemployment and economic instability". The consequence, according to Kalache, is perverse. "The generation that now depends on parents can have a hard time retiring.Soon, they will be the elderly.And without income."
