中国现行的户籍制度是在新中国建立以后逐渐形成的一套户口管理制度。户籍制度在身份证明、保持社会稳定、经济建 设方面起过十分重要的作用。但是随着社会的发展,特别是社会主义市场经济的逐步完善,户籍制度的局限性越来越突 出,实行户籍制度改革已经成为一种必然要求。最近,这种改革已从部分省市向全国范围推进。因此,我们有理由相信, 40余年来横亘在城乡之间的户籍“藩篱”有望被打破。 The current household registration system in China is a set of hukou management system that is gradually formed after the founding of new China. The household registration system has played a very important role in the proof of identity, maintaining social stability and economic construction. However, with the development of society, especially the gradual improvement of the socialist market economy, the limitations of the household registration system have become increasingly prominent. The implementation of the reform of the household registration system has become an inevitable requirement. Recently, such reforms have been pushed forward from some provinces and cities nationwide. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the household registration “barrier” between urban and rural areas in 40 years is expected to be broken.
