According to the findings, the author finds a fact that with the strategy of Western Development, and with the construction of science and technology city of Mianyang, the migrating in Mianyang conforms to the general patterns of the migration, which has happened in those big and medium-sized cities in China.In addition,the city has a new but unique feature — economic factor, as the driving force of population migration, is quite distinct from that of those citiesin eastern areas of China.展开更多

(1) The overwhelming majority of rural migrant workers in China were not willing to convert their rural household registration (nongye hukou) to an urban or non-rural registration Orei nong hukou). If they were required to return the rural land contract rights as precondition, only lOper cent were willing to be urban citizens. (2) For the small proportion of migrant workers who were willing to convert their rural household registration to urban household registration, 'obtaining access to better education and more opportunities for the continuation of education for their children' is the major incentive. (3) The primary reason for retaining a rural hukou, on the other hand, is to keep their rural contract land. (4) Finally, there is no significant difference between the rural migrant workers who were born before 1980 and those after 1980, in term of the attitude toward converting rural hukou to urban hukou. The policy recommendations drew from the findings are as follows: 1) In order to promote the urbanization process, the government should choose the path of 'urbanization based on the long term residence in the towns and cities' instead of the path of "urbanization based on household registration '. 2) The rural migrant workers should be converted into urban citizens without being forced to give up their contact land. 3) The government should give equal weight in policy making to the migrant workers born before 1980 and those born after 1980. Therefore, the policy emphasis of deepening the urbanization of China should focus on the 'equalization of the resource allocation of the public services and social welfare" while the characteristics of the separation of the household registration system should not be strengthened any longer.展开更多

Just because of these additional functions, the household registration system has become complicated, which originally has clear nature. Therefore, only it is necessary to define the legal nature of our country's current household registration system, can executive power be supervised and the rights of citizens get relief.展开更多

For a long time, the edge of the migrant workers living in the city, become second-class citizens of the city, not only discrimination in employment and all aspects of life, but also lack in social rights, the main performance is the lack of social security. In urban employment for the urban prosperity, the economic development of hard work,added some job vacancy city, become a indispensable workforce urban construction and development, however, cannot and town worker also enjoy social security, this not only is the embodiment of the social injustice, the long down will also hinder the development of economy,and even threaten social stability. Therefore, the problem of social security of peasant workers should and we should pay more attention to the problem.展开更多

Under this system, registered residence (hukou) plays an important role in resource allocation and interest distribution, and thus exerts a significant impact on social stratification and mobility. After nearly three decades of reform and opening up, does it still play a role, and, if so, what is this role? Drawing on data from the China General Social Survey, we find that China's social stratification is characterized by the simultaneous existence of differentiation between urban and rural hukou and hierarchy within urban hukou; furthermore, there is a positive correlation between one's opportunities for social mobility and the possibility of changing and transferring one's hukou. Despite the increasing social mobility ensuing from market-oriented transformation, the hukou hierarchy and its structural influence on mobility within the institutional framework persist. The strongly conglutinative nature of the household registration system has given rise to social disparities. The basic direction for reform of the system should be unification ofhukou and free choice of movement from one place to another.展开更多

On the basis of the number of permanent urban residents, using rank-size rule testing and core density estimation within the framework of spatial economics, we set up a labor force location choice model and conducted quantitative simulations. Our fmdings show that the structure of China's urban hierarchy differs from the pyramid structure of Zipf's Law, and the household registration system impedes the free movement of labor and makes the size distribution of cities deviate from Pareto optimality. Household registration (hukou) reform will be conducive to the optimization of the urban hierarchy. Optimizing the urban hierarchy should become a consistent objective in today's development of new-type urbanization, city clusters and metropolitan areas.展开更多
