중국 호구제도 개선에 관한 연구

Abstract

The Hukou system is a household registration system in China which controls population mobility, in order to provide stable condition of economic development. Because it restricts the movement of rural population to urban area, fundamental rights of rural workers, who live in urban area are severely restricted. The restrictions are; freedom of residential mobility, rights of education and rights for social security system etc. Therefore, China is implementing changes and reformation of Hukou system consistently. Main reformation of the Hukou system are: to permit restricted rural workers have urban Hukou; to provide rural workers in urban area substantive support (such as?). The ideal method is to allow rural workers move into urban area freely, however, China disclosed that the strict restriction will be maintained. So it can be estimated that the reformation of Hukou system will not work as a radical solution but for alleviating substantive discrimination of the people living under rural Hukou system in the process of urbanization.
