Isi artikel

The household registation (hukou) system in China, classifying each person as a rural or an urban resident, is a major means of controlling population mobility and determining eligibility for state-provided services and walfare. Established in the late 1950s, it was initially used to bar rural to urban migration. After the late 1970s reforms, an inflow of rural migrant workers was allowed into the cities to meet labor demands in the burgeoning export industries and urban services without, hoever, changing the migrant registered status, thus precluding their access to subsidized housing and other benefits available to those with urban registration. While there have been many calls for reforming this system, Progress has been limited. Proposed reforms have attracted increasing academic and media attention.
