The proportion of agricultural household registration insured is nearly 20% lower than that of non-agricultural household registration.

China Engineering Network (Reporter Yang Zhaokui) the opinion poll Blue Book: China people's livelihood Survey report (2015) jointly released by the Public opinion Research Laboratory of Shanghai Jiaotong University and Social Science Literature Publishing House recently showed that more than 70% of the respondents were insured, among which medical insurance and old-age insurance had the highest proportion. The proportion of non-agricultural hukou respondents was significantly higher than that of agricultural hukou respondents.

According to the report, 73.9% of the respondents participated in "social insurance and house fund" (or "three insurances and one fund"). Among the insured respondents, 95.4% of the respondents participated in medical insurance, and 76.5% of the respondents participated in old-age insurance, a higher proportion than other insurance. Investigators will cross-analyze whether to participate in "social insurance and house fund" (or "three insurances and one fund") and household registration. It is found that the proportion of non-agricultural hukou respondents participating in "social insurance and house fund" (or "three insurances and one fund") is 81.2%, which is significantly higher than that of agricultural hukou respondents (62.7%).

In view of the problems found in the survey, the report proposes to expand the coverage of social security, especially to establish and improve the social security system in the vast rural areas, and to focus on workers and farmers and low-income or unemployed groups. bring the people who need social security most into the social security system. Break down the barriers of household registration between urban and rural areas, narrow the regional gap, and establish a systematic, diversified and integrated social security system, so that every member of society can enjoy the fruits of national economic development.

According to the reporter's incomplete statistics, at present, more than 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), including Guizhou, Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Hubei, and Chongqing, have issued opinions on the reform of their household registration system. The above opinions all make clear the policy of further relaxing the transfer of household registration in this region, and propose to abolish the distinction between the nature of agricultural hukou and non-agricultural hukou and establish a unified hukou registration system in urban and rural areas.

Take Chongqing as an example. In September this year, the city issued the "opinions of the Chongqing Municipal Government on further promoting the Reform of the Household Registration system," requiring a distinction between the nature of agricultural hukou and non-agricultural hukou, and the unified registration of urban and rural areas as "resident hukou." At the same time, we will gradually abolish the setting of policy standards linked to the nature of household registration, clean up and improve policies on education, health and family planning, employment, social security, housing, land and demographic statistics, and gradually establish a unified social security and public service system in urban and rural areas. The opinion also makes it clear that by 2020, the urbanization rate of Chongqing's resident population will reach more than 65 percent, and the urbanization rate of registered residents will reach about 50 percent.
