The Hukou System in China

There are many young women factory workers in China. These employees work very hard to earn income. Just by sending it to my family and saving it, they have to return to my hometown. Young female workers make little effort and time, including the passage of time and abuse. In China, there are immigrants from migrant workers and cities looking for work. A floating worker is a Chinese young woman who moves from a rural area to an urban area to find a job.

In order to better understand the lives of migrant workers and their children, we first need to understand how the Chinese hukou system and family register system work. We interviewed Chen Liang, a teacher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The family register system was established by Mao Zedong in the early 1950s. Classify and designate people as rural and urban citizens based on the birthplace and prevent them from leaving the designated areas. Liang explained that the government wants rural farmers and factory workers to increase productivity and free the country from poverty.

Since the 1980s, the state relied on hukou or housing registration to pay close attention to where people live, work, and let children go to school. However, in recent decades, facing China's large-scale urbanization, the lake mouth system often collapses and it is difficult to obtain housing and social services, but hundreds of millions of migrant workers still I am in a big city. Like the whole society, the Communist Party has watched its members whether they are ideologies or personal loyalties. An e-Government project like Golden Shield that began in the 1990s connects the Public Security Bureau nationwide through an online network to improve efficiency and management.

Previous research on the family register system (hukou) focused on the selective process of hukou transformation to urban state and its impact on stratification of society, or socioeconomic disadvantage and assimilation of migrant workers into cities I was hit. By summarizing the two national probabilistic survey data of China (CGSS 2003 and 2008), we investigated the role of socio-economic inequality in urban labor market and the success and failure city hukou status for rural residents. Specifically, we compared the income of the three groups. People who acquired city position by their own efforts, people who gained urban hukou by including their village in the city, and migrant workers who did not receive city hukou.
