According to residents, the property management fee is as high as 2.68 yuan per square meter, prompting widespread calls to establish a homeowners’ committee to negotiate a reduction.

On June 17, several individuals who had purchased the “Comprehensive Insurance for Migrant Workers” were assaulted by security guards while protesting in front of the Shanghai Employment Promotion Center.
Before June 30, 2011, migrant workers without Shanghai household registration were not eligible to enroll in the city’s official employee social insurance and could only be covered by this alternative comprehensive insurance scheme.
This year, Shanghai introduced a policy allowing partial conversion of comprehensive insurance into the official social insurance system. However, only two years of social insurance credit are granted for every ten years of comprehensive insurance coverage, leading to widespread dissatisfaction.
In recent weeks, affected individuals have organized multiple protests, demanding a 1:1 conversion ratio. Public data shows that approximately 4 million people were enrolled in the comprehensive insurance scheme during their employment in Shanghai.
