In 2008, was Beijing social security compulsory for non-local farmers?

According to the Beijing social security policy implemented in 2008, migrant workers need to participate in social security when they work in Beijing, which can also be said to be mandatory. According to "People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law" and related implementation rules, foreign farmers who live in Beijing and engage in non-agricultural industries should participate in local social insurance. The policy aims to protect the basic social insurance rights and interests of foreign farmers and ensure that they enjoy the corresponding social insurance benefits while working in Beijing. Therefore, according to the provisions of laws and regulations, it can be said that in 2008, foreign farmers were forced to take out insurance. It should be noted that the specific operating rules and insurance conditions may be different, so it is recommended to consult the local social security agency for more accurate information.
