Household registration system reform urged

recent survey shows that 91.7% of respondents believe the Hukou (household registration) system should be further reformed in China. The survey was conducted by the China Youth Daily Social Investigation Center and the sina website on 11,168 individuals. About 57.5% of the respondents admit that to the common people Hukou plays the biggest role in "providing convenience for kids to enter schools", followed by "providing practical social and medical security" (35.9%). Due to such consideration, says the survey, 40.7% of the respondents believe undoubtedly Hukou still remains important nowadays. Moreover, 23% of them even prefer an urban Hukou to a good job when asked to choose one answer at one time. It is indicated that with the wide gap between town and country, many welfare benefits connected with Hukou are still a big temptation to people in many regions in China especially in big cities.
