Flexible employment has become the new normal in our lives. According to the data, there are currently nearly 200 million flexibly employed people in the mainland, and most of them do not actually pay social security. So, what is the reason why these "3000 a month" workers choose to give up paying social security?
First of all, we need to know that the working style of flexible employment is mostly project-based and the income is unstable. Many people do not have a fixed salary level when they take a job, and they may earn a few hundred today and nothing tomorrow. In the face of such income fluctuations, coupled with the pressure of the cost of living, many people will feel that paying social security is a burden.
Secondly, there are also certain misunderstandings in everyone's perception of social security. Many young people think that paying social security is just to leave a way out for themselves, and wait until they are old to enjoy benefits. But in their eyes, the life in front of them is the most important, and who can say what will happen in the future? Moreover, now many people are thinking about "eating first, then paying", when the problem of food and clothing is in front of them, social security is not so important.
Moreover, the cost of living is rising today. Rent, medical care, children's education expenses, everything costs money. Netizens also said, "With a monthly income of 3,000, what do you pay for social security?" "For many families, saving money for day-to-day expenses is already a challenge. Instead of paying social security, it is better to use the money to enroll in classes for your children, or save for emergencies.
Another point is that most of the people in flexible employment are young people, who usually pay less attention to social security and lack corresponding policy protection and guidance. These people often feel that as long as they are healthy, they will not consider future medical and pension issues. Even if someone wants to pay, the complicated procedures and unclear process will deter them.
Overall, the current state of flexible employment reflects many social issues. In the fast-growing economic environment, we need to re-examine the rights and guarantees of these people, not only to give them an income, but also to let them enjoy the social security they deserve. Therefore, in the future development, how to let these 200 million flexible employees work with peace of mind, and at the same time solve the problem of social security, is a topic worth pondering.
