The aim of this article is to investigate the gender differences of rural migrant workers participating in social insurance involving three social protection models in four Chinese cities. The results show that, of the three models, the inclusive model has the highest participation rate and the independent model has the lowest. In general there are few gender differences in social insurance coverage. For both male and female participants, the factors which influence the participation of rural migrant workers in social insurance systems are age, income, education, enterprise ownership, labor contract, occupational mobility, and location. However, the relative importance of these factors in participation in social insurance is differentiated by gender.
