Some flexible workers find it difficult to participate in insurance at the workplace due to household registration restrictions. Some flexible workers are forced to "affiliate" social security due to practical needs such as buying a house, buying a car, and going to school for their children.
Experts suggest that the restrictions on household registration should be gradually relaxed, and the contribution rate and base should be appropriately reduced, so as to increase the enthusiasm of flexible employment personnel to participation in insurance. In 2021, the Chaoyang District People's Court of Beijing Municipality released a case showing that a company fabricated labor relations, paid maternity insurance for 36 pregnant women.
