Can you get a pension just by paying pension insurance

Two conditions should be met to receive a pension: 15 years of contributions and reaching retirement age.

15 years: This means that you should have paid contributions for at least 15 years. The 15 years here is just the minimum standard, according to the principle of "pay more, get more", the longer the contribution period, the higher the pension.

Retirement age: This refers to the legal retirement age. Retirement age varies among different groups. Reaching the statutory retirement age means: employees insured with their employers are 60 years old for men, 50 years old for women in worker positions, and 55 years old for women in cadre positions; for employees in special jobs, 55 years old for men and 45 years old for women; for employees who have lost their ability to work completely due to illness, 50 years old for men and 45 years old for women; and for those who are flexibly employed, 60 years old for men and 45 years old for women; and for those who have been employed flexibly, 60 years old for men and 60 years old for women; and for those who have been employed flexibly, 50 years old for men and 45 years old for women. Men who have reached the age of 60 and women who have reached the age of 55.
