Is it necessary for primary school students to pay social security?

Pupils generally don't have to pay social security, but they have to pay a medical insurance.

I. The concept of social security

Social insurance is a social and economic system that provides income or compensation for people who have lost their ability to work, are temporarily unemployed or suffer losses due to health reasons, and occupies a core position in the whole social security system. Its main items include endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

The social insurance plan is organized by the government, forcing a certain group to pay social insurance taxes (fees) to form a social insurance fund. Under certain conditions, the insured can get a fixed income or compensation for losses. It is a redistribution system, and its goal is to ensure the reproduction of material and labor and social stability.

Second, primary school students do not need to pay social security.

1. The main items of social security include endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance. People who have jobs can buy all social security, while others can only buy old-age insurance and medical insurance in their own names.

2. For endowment insurance, for primary school students, there is no need to pay age. Generally, you can only apply for retirement at the age of 60, and you only need to pay 15 years.

Children can buy social medical insurance. Children are young, prone to colds and fever, and need hospitalization. Now the cost is generally high, and it is necessary to purchase national basic medical insurance. Medical insurance is handled by the school collectively. If the school does not handle it, it can be handled according to the medical insurance for urban residents.
