Since May, the contribution rate of basic old-age insurance units for urban employees has decreased.
A few days ago, the General Office of the State Council issued the Comprehensive Plan for Reducing Social Insurance Rates, which clearly stated that from May 1, 2019, the contribution ratio of urban workers’ basic old-age insurance units will be reduced, and the provinces with unit contribution ratio higher than 16% can be reduced to 16%.

Since May 1, 2019, the province that implements the total unemployment insurance rate of 1% will extend the period of reducing the unemployment insurance rate in stages until April 30, 2020.
The "Proposal" proposes to adjust the social security payment base policy. Each province should calculate the average wage of employees in full-caliber urban units by weighting the average wage of employees in non-private units in cities and towns and the average wage of employees in private units in cities and towns in this province, check and approve the upper and lower limits of the social security individual contribution base, and reasonably reduce the social security contribution base of some insured persons and enterprises. Individual industrial and commercial households and flexible employees can voluntarily choose an appropriate payment base within a certain range to participate in the basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees.
