This book explores China's hukou system, by which individuals are
registered in a specific geographic region, and the prospects for
reform. The history of the hukou system and its instrumental role
in Chinese urbanization and labor markets is explained, and readers
get a sense of what issues are prioritized by Chinese policymakers
as they contemplate reform or change to this system, from
hukou-based labor market discrimination, inequality of opportunity,
multi-dimensional poverty of rural migrants, the public health
consequences of non-hukou migration, and old age insurance for
migrants without hukous. The author concludes with a stirring and
practical call for hukou reform, articulating a cost-benefit model
and providing an array of policy suggestions. This book will
interest scholars of Chinese society, demographics and future
urbanization.Â
