On The Direction Of The Reform Of China's Household Registration System

The reform of household registration system has been the focus of people's everyday topic in recent years. Establishing the modem household registration system, which protects citizens' basic rights, is one of the important signs of the transformation from traditional society to modern society. Ever since the foundation of the People's Republic of China, the Party and Government have laid special emphasis on building up household registration system by laying down the relative regulations and carrying them into effect, thus controlling all the social resources to the greatest degree and ensuring the implementation of planned economy. As a result, the socialist national economy was swiftly founded. However, there is no doubt that in the household registration system in our country exist a lot of problems, some of which are against the law or even violate the Constitution, thereby infringing upon citizens' basic rights and resulting in social unfairness and separation of the city and the country. What's mentioned above has become a obstacle to China's modernization. To our relief, the Party Central Committee has examined the situation and pointed out that it is necessary to quicken the steps to establish the system which helps to change the dual-structure of the city and the country, promote the reform of household registration system, increase socialist democracy and protect the people's interests as well as social justice. China's departments concerned has started to reform household registration system. On the other hand, with the enforcement of the policy to govern the country according to law, the people's consciousness of basic rights has been growing fast. Therefore, the various contradictions and problems caused by the disadvantages in household registration system have led to people's attention and thought. People have begun to carry out theoretical studies from different angles of subjects such as sociology, demography and history. My thesis tries to analyze the following four points from the angles of jurisprudence (legal principle / theory of law) and constitution: disadvantages in China's household registration system and its influence on the development of economic and society, the connotation and value of household registration system, the factors that restrict and influence the thoroughgoing reform of household registration system as well as the difficult condition which the system is in, the direction in which the reform of household registration system is going and countermeasure of and suggestion on it.
