Does the social security of individual industrial and commercial households count as employee social security?

Social security paid by individual industrial and commercial households is generally not employee social security. Social security paid by self-employed individuals is flexible employment social security, but flexible employment social security is actually endowment insurance and medical insurance paid by enterprise employees. And generally speaking, the payment of flexible employment social security must be a local household registration or a local temporary residence permit. Therefore, self-employed individuals can also choose to pay their own social security for urban and rural residents, that is, the new rural cooperative medical system.
