Press briefing on household registration reform

Beijing Times:

I would like to ask a question about controlling the super-large scale of population strictly. You have mentioned further control in the scale of cities with super-large population as well as establishment of a points system. Are the indicators and scores of the system going to be issued by the cities based on their situations or is it going to release a national level guide? Besides, it has been mentioned that legal and stable employment and residence may be an indicator. Is it possible to make the system fairer? Thank you.

Huang Ming:

The points system should be in accordance with the development situation of cities. But, the central policy makes clear requirements. Besides, the State Council will hold meetings to further put forward specific requirements, in order to ensure control of the total amount and ensuring fairness, transparency and everything action in accordance with the law. Please rest assured! I believe that every city will do so. Thank you.

Yang Zhiming:

Stable employment is just one of the conditions. We consider people possessing a labor contract are in a kind of stable employment, including simple contracts in industries featuring strong seasonality and a relatively short employment period like construction and catering, according to the suggestion on further promoting the household registration system reform. It benefits the migrant workers merging into enterprises, their children merging into schools, and their families merging into communities to build the basis for their eventual urbanization.
