Foreign women can also pay social security after they are 50 years old in Shanghai.

Legal analysis: If it is the first time to participate in social security, the maximum age to pay social security is limited by the statutory retirement age. Men over 60 years of age, women workers over 50 years of age, cadres over 55 years of age, can no longer participate in insurance. For those who are not insured for the first time, there is no maximum age limit for purchasing social security. If you have not retired at the statutory retirement age and want to continue to pay social security, you can continue to pay. there is no age limit. In Shanghai, foreigners can only pay social security through their work units, that is, collectively through their work units. Because the state stipulates that enterprises must pay social security for employees and pay five insurances, including pension, medical care, unemployment, work injury and maternity, which can fully guarantee social security benefits. The expenses are also shared by themselves and enterprises, and enterprises will pay more than individuals. If there is a resignation window, foreign individuals can't pay their own social security in Shanghai and can't pay social security directly to the Shanghai Social Security Bureau. At this time, they can find a social security payment company to pay.
