According to the Hanoi Social Insurance, there are many reasons for enterprises' evasion and payment of social insurance premiums such as difficulties in businesses, causing business and production activities to narrow, leading to insolvency, blockade of invoices; stop operating, dissolution, etc. Besides, there are still some businesses that are operating effectively and profitably, paying bonuses to ordinary workers but still seeking to cope, evade, appropriate workers' contributions for other purposes; Some workers are not fully aware of their legitimate rights, so they have negotiated with the business owner to avoid paying social insurance, etc. Therefore, many employees then suffer disadvantages because they are not entitled to social insurance benefits such as: Sickness benefits, maternity benefits, labor accidents - occupational diseases, not enjoying pensions, etc., which cause life a lot of difficulties.

Facing law violations in the field of social insurance and health insurance, Hanoi Social Insurance has actively coordinated with departments, committees and sectors to inspect and examine enterprises with outstanding debts of social insurance and health insurance; direct the social insurance agencies of districts, towns to continue to organize many inspections and urge debt collection, etc. with the determination to reduce the rate of social insurance debt to less than 2% of the receivable in 2019 , thereby contributing to protecting the legitimate rights of workers and ensuring social security in the area./.
