Do college students have social security?

College students can participate in social security.

In many countries, including China, college students can participate in social security, which is one of their basic rights. The full name of social security is social insurance, which is a social security system, mainly covering medical insurance, endowment insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and so on. When college students are in school, if they have an accident or are hospitalized, they can apply for social insurance through the school or by themselves to reduce their economic burden.

However, whether and how college students participate in social security depends on the specific policies of their countries and regions. In China, college students can choose to participate in the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents (hereinafter referred to as residents' medical insurance) or the basic medical insurance for urban employees (hereinafter referred to as employees' medical insurance). Residents' medical insurance is applicable to urban and rural residents who have not participated in employee medical insurance, including college students.

To sum up, college students can participate in social security, but the specific policies vary from country to country. In China, college students can choose to participate in residents' medical insurance or employees' medical insurance.
