The Chinese government wants to find out who has not participated in social security. Netizens are angry: How can you pay if you don’t have a job?

The State Council Information Office of China held a series of themed press conferences on the 10th titled "Getting Started with the 15th Five-Year Plan" to introduce the situation of promoting high-quality development of employment and social security. The 15th Five-Year Plan is also the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). Li Zhong, deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that there are still some people who have not participated in social security, and these people must be found to enroll them. After seeing Li Zhong’s statement, Chinese netizens couldn’t help but lamented, “How can I pay if I don’t have a job?”

According to the "Beijing Youth Daily" report, Li Zhong pointed out that as of the end of September this year, the number of people insured by China's basic pension, unemployment, and work-related injury insurance were 1.079 billion, 251 million, and 327 million respectively. The next step is to firmly Adhering to measures such as "protecting all the people who need it" and "finding people through data", the goal is to stabilize the pension insurance participation rate at more than 95% during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, to achieve unemployment insurance coverage of 255 million people, and work-related injury insurance coverage to 345 million people.

Li Zhong emphasized that the method of "finding people through data" is very important. There are still some people who are not insured. Where are these people? We must use various methods to find people and mobilize them to participate in insurance, so as to further promote the growth of the number of insured people.

Li Zhong said that the government will encourage people with flexible employment, migrant workers, and new employment forms to participate in "employee pension insurance." Some of these people currently pay "resident pension insurance" fees, and it is hoped that they can be converted to employee insurance as much as possible.

Li Zhong's statement made Chinese netizens furious. They criticized, "Why don't you go door to door to collect it? It's not like this has never been done before."
