Group 1: Current Status of Flexible Employment - The scale of flexible employment personnel in China has exceeded 200 million [2]. - Many flexible and new employment form workers are not included in the social security system, leading to issues like "leakage," "disconnection," and "discontinuation" of coverage [2][3]. - The report indicates that the overall coverage of social insurance remains low, with a need for further expansion in occupational injury protection [3].
