China Social Insurance Enrollment by Program, 2025

End-2025 enrollment in five top-level programs; million people, prelim.

What the Data Shows

Basic medical insurance covered 1,330.68 million people at the end of 2025. Basic pension insurance followed with 1,075.99 million participants. Work-injury, maternity and unemployment insurance each covered between 249 million and 305 million people. Program memberships overlap, so the five enrollment figures cannot be added to estimate a unique insured population.

Data notes & caveats

People can belong to more than one insurance program, so the rows are overlapping memberships rather than a population composition.

Methodology

Five top-level programs are ranked by enrollment. Employee and resident subdivisions remain supporting breakdowns beneath their pension or medical parent totals.

Source consistency notes

All program and subdivision values use one official release, the end-2025 period and the same million-person unit.
