China is the world’s largest country based on population. Despite being the second-largest economy in terms of nominal gross domestic product (GDP) and purchasing power parity after the US, its development is not uniform. China’s Social Security System (SSS) includes various social insurance schemes, social assistance, and supplementary schemes. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MoHRSS), which administers the Social Insurance Law, is the apex body responsible for effectively functioning the country’s SSS. As most social security schemes do not meet employees’ requirements, several private companies offer voluntary supplementary plans.

Key Highlights

  • The MoHRSS, Department of Pensions, Department of Medical Care, Department of Unemployment, and Local Government Social Insurance Agencies are responsible for the functioning of the overall social security system in China.
  • A person’s national insurance contribution is determined based on their income.
