China’s Hukou puzzle: why don’t rural migrants want urban Hukou? / Chen, Chuanbo ; Fan, C Cindy   Journal Article
Fan, C Cindy Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Despite the fact that urban hukou is understood to be far superior to rural hukou and that rural migrants have strong intention to stay in cities for many years, responses to hukou reforms that increase opportunities to obtain urban hukou have been less than enthusiastic. This article addresses this puzzle by showing how the respective values of rural hukou and urban hukou have changed in recent decades. The access and benets that are tied to rural hukou—including farming and housing land, compensation for land requisition, and more relaxed birth control—are considered increasingly valuable. us, many migrants are opting to straddle and circulate between the city and countryside rather than giving up their rural hukou.

Shen, Wei Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

This review summarizes Chinese- and English-language commercial law academic literature from the past decade contributed by both Chinese and non-Chinese scholars while discussing their dierences. China’s use of vague laws that rely upon implementation rules resulted in a substantial proportion of articles focusing on policy discussions and comparison to foreign approaches. Subsequently, a common theme in both Chinese and English literature was transplantation of foreign law.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract is article studies the relationship between social and spatial mobility of new urban migrants and residents. e objective is to present the inuences of the household registration system on the social mobility of China’s new urban migrants through a comparison of the dierences and similarities between these two groups. Two data sets are adopted in this article: the Blue Book of Youth Nos. 1 and 2 and in-depth interviews conducted during the summers of 2009, 2010, and 2011. ematic analysis was employed to understand their social mobility aer spatial mobility. Results show that new urban migrants are relatively vulnerable. While society generally expects them to assimilate rather than achieve upward social mobility, the hukou system limits their access to social welfare and security. Meanwhile, new urban residents who have access to advantages consider themselves lower-middle class in terms of consumption, and maintain certain flexibility to further establish their social and economic status. In this article, “opportunity” is a significant theme. New urban residents strive to leverage their urban resident status to create individual wealth.

Chuankai Yang Wei Xu, Ye Liu, Yuemin Ning Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract China has experienced an unprecedented surge of rural to urban migration since the mid-1980s, which has led to rapid growth of the urban population, especially in major cities. This study investigates urban settlement intentions of 4,116 rural residents using data from the Chinese General Social Survey in 2010. Based on a multilevel logistic model, the study focuses on the role of individual, household, and contextual factors in determining urban settlement intentions of rural residents. It was found that more than 90 percent of villagers in the survey do not intend to move to and settle in a city within the next ve years. Among those who have some intention to settle in a city, nearly two-thirds plan to settle in small towns or small cities rather than larger cities. e results show that villagers’ urban settlement intentions are shaped, both independently and interactively, by individual, household, and contextual factors.
