Do self-employed people have to pay social security?

No need to pay social security. If your registered self-employed person has no employees, only you are the person in charge of the operation. Self-employed people do not have to pay social security according to law, and social security issues can be paid by themselves.

Collection method of social insurance premium

1. proportional insurance system

This method is based on the wage income of the insured, and a certain proportion is stipulated to collect insurance premiums. Adopting the proportional system, the initial main purpose of social insurance is to compensate the income lost by the insured in risk accidents in order to maintain their minimum living. Therefore, we should refer to his usual income, on the one hand, as a standard to measure payment, on the other hand, as the basis for premium calculation.

The biggest drawback of the work-based proportional insurance system is that the burden of social insurance is directly related to wages. Whether employers and employees bear social insurance premiums or one of them bears social insurance premiums, the burden of social insurance is manifested in the increase of labor costs, which will lead to capital crowding out labor, which will lead to an increase in unemployment.

2. Equal insurance premium system

That is, regardless of the income of the insured or his employer, the insurance premium of the same amount should be charged. The advantages of this system are simple calculation and easy to be universally realized. Moreover, in countries that collect insurance premiums in this way, the payment system is generally divided equally, which has the significance of equal income and expenditure. But its defect is that low-income people and high-income people pay the same premium, which is obviously unfair in terms of affordability.

Social insurance is a social and economic system that provides income or compensation for those who lose their ability to work, are temporarily unemployed or suffer losses due to health reasons. The main items of social insurance include endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

The social insurance plan is organized by the government, forcing a certain group to use part of its income as social insurance tax (fee) to form a social insurance fund. Under certain conditions, the insured can get fixed income or loss compensation from the fund. It is a redistribution system, and its goal is to ensure the reproduction of material and labor and social stability.
