Social security what is the situation

Legal analysis: social insurance is a social and economic system that provides income or compensation to a population that is incapacitated, temporarily out of work, or has suffered a loss due to health reasons. The main items of social insurance include pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. Social insurance is a welfare benefit given by the state to its citizens, with a wide range of coverage and a relatively low level of protection, but social security is the foundation, and commercial insurance is supplementary.
