为了落实党的十六大提出的建设小康社会的奋斗目标 ,各省市纷纷进行户籍制度“变法” ,一些地区全面推行城乡“一元制”户籍登记制度 ,以期加速推进城市化进程的步伐。城市化的实质是人的现代化 ,关键在于要让农民能够跨越城市的“门槛” ,进入城市 ,在城市生存、定居。因此 ,如何让农民工在城市受到公平对待 ,实现从农民工向市民的转变 ,并最终融入城市社会 ,成为中央和各级政府关注的大问题。去年国务院专门发文要求各省市自治区对待农民工应与本市居民一视同仁 ,取消种种带有歧视性的规定 ,体现了一个责任政府“关注民生、扶持弱势群体”的执政理念。本组笔谈从农民工群体现代性的获得、国民待遇问题、法律地位和女性群体境遇等方面进行了探讨。 In order to implement the goal of building a moderately prosperous society proposed by the 16th National Congress of the CPC, provinces and municipalities have adopted the “reform” of the household registration system. Some regions have fully implemented the “one yuan system” household registration system in urban and rural areas with a view to accelerating the pace of urbanization. The essence of urbanization is the modernization of human beings. The key is to enable peasants to cross the threshold of the city, enter the cities and survive and settle in the cities. Therefore, how to make migrant workers be fairly treated in cities, to realize the transformation from peasant workers to citizens, and eventually to integrate into urban society has become a major issue that the Central Government and all levels of government are concerned about. Last year the State Council issued a special circular calling on provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to treat migrant workers as citizens of the city without discrimination and to abolish all kinds of discriminatory provisions. This reflects the governing concept that a responsible government should “care for the people’s livelihood and support vulnerable groups”. This group of pen talks from the acquisition of modern migrant workers groups, national treatment issues, legal status and the situation of women groups were discussed.
