Do I need to pay social security if I don't go to work?

As long as it has accumulated for more than fifteen years, you don't have to pay it.

If you say that your accumulated payment period has reached15th anniversary, and your personal economic conditions are average, you can't bear the pressure of paying this flexible employment social security, then you can choose to temporarily stop paying your social security.

Just because you stop paying your own social security doesn't mean you can't continue teaching in the future. It just means that you may stop teaching for a few years. For example, if your conditions are good in a few years, or if you get a second job, then under this premise, there is no problem in continuing to participate in the insurance.

Therefore, it is more advantageous to choose to pay personal social security as much as possible. Of course, if you don't plan to work in the future, your personal conditions are not so good, that is to say, you can't bear such payment pressure. Then it is completely possible to stop paying, but at least you have to ensure that you reach the accumulated payment period 15 years before retirement.
