How to make the new type of urbanization favored by farmers?

Although the central authorities have repeatedly stressed that the promotion of a new type of urbanization cannot rely on administrative orders and sports, a reporter from the Economic Information Daily has found in many interviews that some places have decomposed, compared with each other, and adjusted their caliber at various levels. there is a digital disorder that artificially pushes up the urbanization rate, affecting the continuous improvement of the new urbanization level and quality. (economic Information Daily, August 31)

The purpose of promoting the new type of urbanization is to be farmer-oriented, so that farmers can share the fruits of the reform and get tangible benefits. All measures to promote a new type of urbanization should focus on this focus, and those that have nothing to do with it can be described as deviating from the theme. The situation varies widely in various places, and it is impossible to promote a new type of urbanization overnight. To promote a new type of urbanization, we should proceed from the reality of various localities, adjust measures to local conditions, do not adopt an one-size-fits-all approach, and should not act in undue haste and achieve success in a single battle. Therefore, the promotion of a new type of urbanization can not rely on administrative orders and sports, let alone from the perspective of building a political achievement project. However, the reality is that in some places, the promotion of a new type of urbanization depends on administrative orders and movements, and there is a confusion of figures that artificially push up the urbanization rate. as a result, farmers are "urbanized", which goes against the wishes of farmers and deviates from the theme of being farmer-oriented, which is naturally complained and criticized by farmers.

After careful consideration, in some places, the reason why farmers are unwilling to be "urbanized" is the inevitable result driven by economic interests. In recent years, the policies attached to agricultural hukou have been introduced continuously, and the "gold content" of rural hukou has increased, which has greatly increased the attractiveness of agricultural hukou. Obviously, if we want to promote a new type of urbanization, we must make farmers really withdraw from the land and voluntarily settle in cities; we must invigorate rural land assets and "decouple" farmers from land. At present, there is a lack of institutional arrangements for farmers' right to contracted management of land, the right to the use of residential land and the right to distribute collective income-- how to actively withdraw from the "three rights", which is undoubtedly the key bottleneck affecting the "decoupling" between farmers and land. it is necessary to speed up the top-level design to make a breakthrough. In recent years, the facts also show that the property value of rural assets can not be realized, which will lead to a large number of agricultural transfer population who would rather abandon their land and vacant their houses than move out of rural areas. Land is the immediate guarantee of farmers, and houses are the main property of farmers. Only by turning it into property income through formal channels can farmers consider giving up their rural hukou and voluntarily settling in cities and towns. Farmers are good at accounting. If you don't let them get rich benefits, why should they give up the dividend of rural hukou and enter cities and towns?

According to the 13th five-year Plan, the urbanization rate of China's registered population needs to be increased by 5.1% in the next five years. At present, in many small and medium-sized cities participating in the pilot project, the conditions for settling down have been reduced to only legal and stable accommodation (including leasing), and there is almost no threshold for farmers to settle in the city. however, the urbanization rate of household registration in many small and medium-sized cities participating in the pilot project is far lower than the expected target. Behind the slow increase in the urbanization rate of the registered population, there is a certain phenomenon of "anti-urbanization": most rural students admitted to universities no longer move their hukou; they buy houses, work and live in cities, but do not change their hukou when they have the conditions to settle down; many people with urban hukou want to move their hukou back to the countryside.... A few days ago, the reporter went to Anhui, Sichuan, Hubei, and other places to investigate and found that most pilot small and medium-sized cities have fully liberalized farmers to settle in cities, but before zero threshold, farmers' willingness to settle down is generally not high, with only more than 200 rural residents in some counties in 2015. With the gradual increase in the content of rural hukou, a considerable number of farmers are willing to buy houses, work and live in cities, but choose to leave their hukou in rural areas. This is obviously intriguing.
