The Consumer Price Index for the Third Age (CPI-3a) measures the variation in cost of living for families composed mostly of individuals over 60 years of age.
This version of the FGV/CPI was developed based on the Family Budget Survey (FBS) carried out by FGV IBRE in 2002/2003 analyzing the budgets of families composed mostly of individuals over 60 years of age. This version of the FGV/CPI enables observation of how variations in a basket of products and services relevant to families with elderly members affects the cost of living of Brazilians in the third age.
