Can individuals pay social security?

Legal analysis: social security can be paid by itself. But it is difficult to participate in company-related insurance. If individuals pay separately, they can only buy medical insurance, maternity insurance and old-age insurance. For unemployment insurance, industrial and commercial insurance is not guaranteed, so individuals cannot buy it. As an effective guarantee for later life, social security can be purchased by local people or by local people themselves, but for migrant workers, if they want to participate in insurance, they can only buy it with the help of the company. Characteristics of social security:

1, hidden risks within the scope of labor are the objective basis of social insurance, and the insurance is marked as the employee himself;

2. The subject of social insurance is specific, including workers, relatives and employers;

3. Social insurance belongs to compulsory insurance;

4. The purpose of social insurance is to promote the effective reproduction of labor force;

5. The source of insurance fund is the expenses or financial support paid by employers and workers, and the main scope of insurance is employees.
