Can I buy social security at the age of 52?

Buying social security at this age depends on many factors, including legal retirement age, first-time insurance, and ability to pay.

1. Statutory retirement age: before reaching the statutory retirement age stipulated by the state, it is generally 60 years old for men, 50 years old for female employees and 55 years old for cadres (the specific retirement age varies with regions and policies), and employees are allowed to participate in basic old-age insurance.

2, the first time to participate in insurance: someone is participating in social security for the first time, then it will be limited by the legal retirement age. When you are over the legal retirement age, you can't start buying social security. According to the regulations, you need to pay a certain number of years of social security before you retire to get a pension.

3. Ability to pay: Individuals must have sufficient economic ability to pay social security fees, which is one of the basic conditions for participating in employee pension insurance.
