Abstract

In the 13th FYP period, China has entered a new stage of population urbanization. New-type urbanization is still the greatest potential for China’s development. Based on this, new ideas are needed to deepen the reform of the household registration system in the 13th FYP period. The first idea is a change from population control to service and management of population. The second is a change from the dual household registration system in urban and rural areas to the comprehensive implementation of the residence permit system. The third is a change in the population management from the public security department to the population service department. By 2020, it will be a historic breakthrough to replace the dual household registration system in urban and rural areas with the residence permit system.
