The difference between social insurance for individual industrial and commercial households and social insurance for companies.

Legal analysis: the types of social insurance paid are different: self-employed individuals only need to pay pension insurance and medical insurance. The company needs to pay five items for employees: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. The social security expenses they need to bear are different: self-employed individuals pay their own social security, and the expenses are fully borne by individuals. Individuals can choose the social security payment base according to their own conditions. The company pays social security for employees, and the expenses are borne by both the company and the employees, and the employees only need to bear a small part.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
