In China, as in many other countries, the state has long maintained population registers to record population changes and mobility for purposes of taxation, military security, and police control. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), however, this system has been extended and transformed to become a mechanism for pervasive social and political control, economic planning, and distribution of labor, food, and social welfare, via associated rationing mechanisms since the late 1950s. At the heart of this system, which is intimately bound up with state development policies, is strict control over all forms of migration for the entire population.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In China, as in many other countries, the state has long maintained population registers to record population changes and mobility for purposes of taxation, military security, and police control. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), however, this system has been extended and transformed to become a mechanism for pervasive social and political control, economic planning, and distribution of labor, food, and social welfare, via associated rationing mechanisms since the late 1950s. At the heart of this system, which is intimately bound up with state development policies, is strict control over all forms of migration for the entire population.
520 $a This dissertation examines the hukou system in the People's Republic of China (PRC) in historical perspective, with particular emphasis on the years 1955-90. It traces the historical origins of contemporary hukou to the baojia/lijia and other registration systems from their inception in the early dynasties, through their development in the first half of the twentieth century. The research focuses on the initiation, formalization, and development of the hukou system with its far-reaching consequences in the PRC.
520 $a We discern six distinctive features of the contemporary hukou system: (1) The denial of freedom of residence and migration; (2) The creation of a formalized locational hierarchy; (3) The reification of the urban-rural division as well as differentiation among urban centers of different size; (4) The periodic use of coercive downward migration (xiafang), especially from urban to rural localities; (5) The reinforcement of urban-rural inequality in terms both of income and educational opportunity; (6) The subordination of rural temporary and contract labor to the state-urban sector. The hukou system, with related policies of rationing, employment, housing control, and residence, is centered to the development priorities of the Chinese state in the decades following collectivization and it remains so in the 1990s. This study then reconceptualizes Maoist mobilizational collectivism as a hukou-centered strategy. The hukou system provides a new angle from which to reevaluate China's state-socialist political economy.
520 $a In the 1980s, the economic reform and open policy have brought about enormous challenges to the hukou system. Limited relaxation of population mobility controls has contributed to the reinvigoration of China's economy, but it has also exposed and even exacerbated important dimensions of the hukou crisis. Mounting pressure from the rural sector, which has won limited rights to mobility but is still denied many basic economic and social rights restricted to the registered urban population, reveals the continued divisive legacy of the system. This study elucidates the heavy social and developmental costs imposed by the hukou system and presents a case for its final abolition.
