Ten days, five cities push the new home registration policy to accelerate the flow of population to large cities
Author: Lin Xiaozhao
Since December 14, many large cities, including Guangzhou and Suzhou, have intensively introduced home registration reform policies to relax the threshold for liquidation.
Suzhou City recently issued “Municipal Government Office Enforcement Opinions on Further Promotion of Settlement of Unregistered Population in the City”. It is proposed to apply the policy so that permanent residents of rented houses settle in public community homes. With the consent of the owner of the house, they can be established on the site of the house or in the house. The local community was established.
Suzhou is the leader of cities at the ordinary prefecture level in China. Last year, it reached a regional GDP of 1923.58 billion yuan, ranking sixth among the major cities in the country and first among cities at the ordinary prefecture level. The rapid development of the industry has also attracted a large influx of people. Statistics show that Suzhou has a permanent population of 10.75 million, a registered population of 7.226 million, and a net inflow of 3.5239 million. The scale of net inflow ranks eighth in the country.
Hu Gang, president of the South China Urban Research Association and professor at Jinan University, analyzed by China Business News that the opening of the household registration threshold in Suzhou favors the settlement of migrant workers and will greatly promote the development of local industrial manufacturing and general service industries. Professionals in the industrial manufacturing and general service industries do not need a high degree of education. Lowering the threshold will help attract and retain these professionals.
Ding Changfa, associate professor in the Department of Economics at Xiamen University, analyzed by China Business News that the relaxation of residence conditions in Suzhou not only favors the retention of migrant workers, but also favors the scale of the city of Suzhou , bigger and stronger, and improves the agglomeration and radiation capabilities of the central city. Although Suzhou has a permanent population of more than 10 million, a considerable part of it is found in the counties and cities under its jurisdiction. The population of the central city is not large, and it still needs to accelerate the expansion and strengthening of the central city platform and improve the energy level of the city.
According to the 2018 Urban Construction Statistical Yearbook, the population of Suzhou City in 2018 was 3.5725 million, ranking 27th in the country.
It’s worth mentioning that this is the fifth Tier 1 and Tier 2 city that has announced the relaxation of the settlement threshold in the last ten days. On December 14, the “Notice on Measures to Further Reduce Settlement Conditions and Increase Population Size” issued by the Fuzhou Municipal People’s Government General Office proposed that the settlement restrictions be fully liberalized and reach the “zero threshold” for settlement. There are no education, age, employment requirements Restrictions, people from other provinces and cities can apply to settle in Fuzhou.
Wuxi also revised the “Regulation on Access to Household Registration and Wuxi City Registration”, completely abolished settlement restrictions in Jiangyin and Yixing administrative regions, implemented a household registration migration system based on a legally stable residence or legally stable employment, and explored the establishment of a regular household registry for the city of Wuxi. Accumulate experience in the residence registration system.
Guangzhou, the premier city, also made big moves. On December 16, the Guangzhou Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued a notice on the public request for “Differentiated Out-of-City Migration Management Measures from Guangzhou City” in Baiyun, Huangpu, Huadu Districts , Panyu, Nansha and Conghua. The 7 administrative districts of Zengcheng District and Zengcheng District implement differentiated household registration policies. Those who are employed or entrepreneurs within the scope of implementation and meet the following conditions at the same time can move their home registration to Guangzhou and register in the administrative area within the scope of the House differentiated home registration.
On the 14th, Qingdao also proposed to further relax the restrictions on the settlement of migrants, relax the conditions for the settlement of academic and skilled talent, and settle in Qingdao with residential property rights.
Ding Changfa said that with the exception of the relatively high threshold for settlement in some megacities, the threshold for settlement in most cities has been set very low. With an aging population and a declining proportion of the working-age population, first- and second-tier cities are increasing to attract migrants, especially young people, to settle. Young talents are the pillar of consumption, innovation and entrepreneurship and employment. Cities with young people have a future. Opening the threshold for colonization is also laying the groundwork for future competition.
Hu Gang analyzed that in 2019, the urbanization rate of China’s permanent population exceeded 60% and entered the stage of secondary urbanization. Secondary urbanization is the agglomeration of small and medium-sized cities in central cities. In our country, the central cities are first and second level cities. First and second tier cities have more job opportunities, better education and medical resources, better infrastructure, and greater competitiveness. When young people have a choice, more people will flow to the first and second tier cities.
According to the recently released “New Youth Home Consumption Trends Report 2020” by the Shell Research Institute, the outflow of new youth population is mainly coming from third and fourth tier cities. The urbanization process has intensified the differentiation between cities, and the population loss in third and fourth tier cities with weak industrial bases is serious. Most of the outgoing population will opt for first and new level cities. The main reason is that these cities have relatively strong industrial bases, many job opportunities, and relatively fair competition. For better workers’ compensation, new youth will certainly consider these cities as their first choice.
Hu Gang believes that the first and second tier cities have opened up and relaxed the settlement threshold, which will accelerate the secondary urbanization process. In this process, not only will the rural population continue to flow into cities, but the population flow within different cities will also accelerate, with central cities and major urban agglomerations bringing together more people.
