Social insurance must work out a certain proportion of the insured's burden according to the probability of various risk accidents and the total payment expenditure estimated in advance according to the payment standard as the standard for determining the insurance rate. Moreover, unlike commercial insurance, the calculation of social insurance rate needs to consider more social and economic factors besides risk factors in order to obtain a fair and reasonable rate.

Based on the wage income of the insured, 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.

The income of the insured or his employer should be the same as the insurance premium. 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.
