Legal analysis

Social insurance is an institutional arrangement imposed by the government to distribute wealth, which is actually a tax. 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, which is a redistribution system with the goal of ensuring material and labor reproduction and social stability. Social insurance is an important part of the social security system and occupies a core position in the whole social security system. In addition, social insurance is a contributory social security. The funds are mainly paid by employers and workers themselves, and the government finances give subsidies and bear the ultimate responsibility. However, workers can only enjoy the corresponding social insurance benefits if they fulfill their statutory payment obligations and meet the statutory conditions. Social insurance is the most important part of the social security system. Therefore, when discussing the history of social insurance, social insurance cannot be separated from social security. Social insurance refers to the system that the state establishes a social insurance fund through legislation to give necessary material help to workers who participate in labor relations when they lose their ability to work or are unemployed. Social insurance is not for profit.
