Chinese Migrants: The Hukou System

Chapter 29 in China Business 2.0, 2015, pp 155-156 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The term hukou (pronounced who-koh) refers to China’s household-registration system, which defines access to welfare. Required by law since 1958, the system records every Chinese citizen as a permanent resident of a particular city or county. Before 1980, citizens were strictly required to stay in the neighborhood of birth and could not seek employment or education elsewhere in the country.
