According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the number of people aged 60 years or older in Brazil exceeded 31.23 million in 2021. Projections suggest that this number may exceed 58 million by 2060, which means that the elderly population may represent more than 25.5% of Brazilian society (IBGE, 2022). Thus, this study aims to investigate the knowledge of young residents of the metropolitan region of São Paulo on Social Security and Private, as well as to analyze whether they are preparing financially for the future. Bibliographical research was carried out conceptualizing the two types of social security existing in Brazil, as well as conducting the field research addressing the main topics. The methodology was carried out through the preparation and application of a questionnaire composed of 12 questions related to the theme, directed to an audience of the metropolitan region of São Paulo aged between 18 and 25 years, the research was carried out on-line between the 13th and 20th of April. Through the questionnaire, we obtained 150 answers and 136 considered valid for being part of the established sample. Thus, it was noted that most respondents do not have knowledge about the subject related to social security, as well as do not have planning for retirement or investments in other roles, significant part justified by not having enough knowledge to invest. It was possible to prove these arguments from the answers obtained.
