What's the difference between social security and insurance?

The differences between social security and insurance are as follows:

1, the concept is different: social security is the abbreviation of social insurance, which refers to five kinds of insurance: endowment insurance, medical insurance, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance and industrial injury insurance. Five insurances and one gold refer to endowment insurance, medical insurance, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and housing accumulation fund;

2. Different scope: Social insurance only includes five types of insurance, such as endowment insurance, but five insurances and one gold also include housing accumulation fund. That is, five insurances and one gold include social security.

Social security is what we call five insurances every day. Five insurances and one gold are just one more provident fund than social security. The five insurances are endowment insurance, medical insurance, maternity insurance, industrial injury insurance and unemployment insurance.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Article 15 of the Regulations on Housing Provident Fund

Units employing employees shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, go to the housing provident fund management center for deposit registration, and go to the entrusted bank for the establishment or transfer of employee housing provident fund accounts with the audit documents of the housing provident fund management center.
