Minimum age for social security payment

Legal analysis: 16 years old can be insured for social security. The Labor Law stipulates that employers are prohibited from recruiting minors under the age of 16. Then the employer can recruit people over the age of 16. Most of the minimum social security payment age should be 18 years old. The basic old-age insurance premium should be paid by the insured to the statutory retirement age. If the basic old-age insurance payment has reached 15 years or more, lesbians who have reached the age of 55 and gay men who have reached the age of 60 can go through retirement procedures. After reaching the statutory retirement age, the payment period still fails to meet the requirements of monthly pension payment stipulated in the basic old-age insurance, and the payment can be delayed for 5 years, for lesbians, it is 60 years old, and for gays, it is 65 years old. Social security includes endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and industrial injury insurance. Except medical insurance, the minimum payment age of the other four insurances is 18.

Legal basis: Article 15 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Law prohibits employers from recruiting minors under the age of 16.
