Cities set to welcome 100m migrants
Print Edition
CHINA will help 100 million migrants settle in cities to expand urbanization, the State Council announced yesterday.
The government plans to help over 13 million migrants a year over the next five years to seek urban hukou (household registration) that will qualify them for social benefits such as health care. The plans are part of an attempt to lift the percentage of people living in cities and having relevant hukou to 45 percent by 2020.
The percentage of people living in cities and having local hukou stood at 39.9 percent at the end of last year. The percentage of the entire population living in cities was 56.1 percent, as many migrants live in cities without hukou.
China plans to relax household registration requirements, in most cities, for students from rural areas and migrant workers who have lived in a city for a long time, while major cities will implement specific policies to control rapid population growth.
Additional policies will be rolled out to ensure migrant residents with local hukou enjoy equal social benefits such as health care and education, the statement added.
