Urban-rural Dual Household Registration System Reform and Integration of Two-way Population Flow between Urban and Rural Areas
A key indicator of high-quality integrated urban-rural development is the bidirectional movement of people between urban and rural areas.However,the presence of the"Settlement Paradox"and the"Return Migration Paradox"among agricultural migrant workers results in suboptimal population flow between urban and rural areas and a lower quality of integrated urban-rural development.By examining the interplay between the rural population and land,as well as the relationship between urbanization and settlement,this paper elucidates two misconceptions that give rise to the dual paradoxes in urban-rural population movement.The paper offers a novel perspective by re-evaluating the group attribute of the agricultural migrant population through their occupation rather than identity and by identifying the support mechanism for the urbanization of agricultural migrant workers based on residency rather than identity.It presents policy suggestions to further reform the household registration system and to foster high-quality integrated urban-rural development.These recommendations include:advancing the urbanization of the migrant agricultural population on the basis of"residential registration"and facilitating the non-farming transition of the migrant agricultural population grounded in the principle of"collective working people".
