Point made as 6,000 non-natives on course to gain Beijing hukou
Print Edition
Around 6,000 non-natives of Beijing will be able to get the city鈥檚 hukou, or household registration status, through a new points-based household registration reform.
The Beijing municipal bureau of human resources and social security on Monday announced a name list of 6,019 people who had the most points among over 124,000 applicants for a Beijing hukou.
If no questions are raised about their points, these people, aged between 31 and 58 and from sectors including technology, manufacturing, finance, media, education and public health, can receive their hukou starting from October 23 until the end of 2020, said the bureau.
The status, much coveted by many non-natives, is a crucial document entitling residents to social welfare in Beijing.
The highly anticipated application for the household registration status in the country鈥檚 capital started on April 16 and ended on June 14.
For Wang Yong, chairman of Brand Union (Beijing) Consulting Co Ltd, Monday was a memorable day as his name was on the list.
鈥淭his is a positive trial as it opens a new door for non-natives working in the city,鈥 said the doctorate holder who has been working in Beijing for 22 years.
鈥淭he points-based household registration system is a win-win,鈥 said a woman surnamed Hu, who was also on the list.
鈥淭he city can hardly develop without the contribution of non-natives and, meanwhile, non-natives working in the city also need social welfare provided by the city government in all aspects,鈥 said Hu, who has been working at a think tank in Beijing for 19 years.
Under the new policy, non-natives under the legal retirement age who have held a Beijing temporary residence permit with the city鈥檚 social insurance records for seven consecutive years and don鈥檛 have a criminal record, are eligible to accumulate points for the hukou.
Those with good employment, higher payment of tax, stable homes in Beijing, strong educational background, and achievements in innovation and establishing startups in Beijing can get higher scores in the points-based competition for the city鈥檚 hukou.
The points-based household registration policy is a practical choice for megacities like Beijing which have population control targets but still need to attract talent for quality growth.
In the pilot period, Beijing鈥檚 quota for new hukou holders is set at 6,000 each year based on the city鈥檚 development planning and population capacity, according to the bureau of human resources and social security.
By the end of 2017, the number of people holding a Beijing hukou reached 13.59 million, while the city鈥檚 permanent population totaled 21.7 million.
