What is the age limit for paying social security?

First of all, regarding the minimum age of insurance, under normal circumstances, workers can establish labor relations with employers after reaching the legal age of employment, and employers are obliged to pay social security for workers at this time. The legal employment age is generally 16 years old, which is according to the provisions of China's labor law. In other words, workers can start paying social security when they reach the age of 16. However, it should be noted that some special industries or positions may have higher requirements for age and need to be determined according to specific circumstances.

Secondly, regarding the retirement age, this mainly involves the collection of old-age insurance. According to China's current pension insurance system, workers can start to receive pensions after reaching the legal retirement age. The legal retirement age is generally 60 years old for men and 55 years old for women (or 50 years old, depending on job types and regional policies). Workers need to continue to pay social security before reaching retirement age, so as to accumulate enough payment years when they retire and ensure that they can enjoy the corresponding pension insurance benefits.

It should be noted that although there are clear social security age limits in China, with the development of society and the aggravation of population aging, these restrictions may be adjusted accordingly. For example, in recent years, China has begun to discuss the issue of delaying retirement age to cope with the increasing pressure of pension payment.

To sum up:

The age limit for paying social security mainly involves the minimum age for participation in insurance and the retirement age. After the laborer reaches the age of 16, he can establish labor relations with the employer and start to pay social security; After reaching the legal retirement age, you can start to receive pensions. However, it should be noted that these restrictions may change with social development and policy adjustment.
