I am a rural hukou. I can only pay three insurances when I work in Shanghai, but I can't pay social security, can I? What's the difference between social security and three insurances?

I was a little surprised to see the answer. The new three insurances refer to old-age insurance, medical insurance and industrial injury insurance, not unemployment insurance. This must not be mistaken. In fact, the new three insurances also belong to the category of social security. There are several kinds of social insurance in Shanghai. You are a rural hukou, so you can only participate in the new three insurances, as well as urban insurance. Generally, the participants are Shanghai residents and non-agricultural residents from other places. The other is small town to town insurance, referred to as town to city insurance. Participants are employees registered in Shanghai suburbs and must also be registered in Shanghai.

In this way, social security is a big category, including the following categories: new three insurances, city insurance and town insurance.
