What's the difference between five insurances and social security?

There is no difference between social insurance and five insurances. They all refer to five types of insurance: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

As far as the five risks are concerned, the proportion of units and individuals is generally:

1, 20% for the endowment insurance unit and 8% for the individual;

2, medical insurance units bear 6%, individuals bear 2%;

3, the unemployment insurance unit to bear 2%, 0% individuals;

4, maternity insurance 1% shall be borne by the unit;

5.0.8% of work-related injury insurance is also borne by the unit, and individual employees do not bear maternity and work-related injury insurance.

In terms of content, social insurance refers to a security system that takes workers as the protection object, takes special events such as old age, illness, disability, unemployment and death as the protection content, and is characterized by government coercion.
