Due to its household registration system, the regional economy and social structure have been so strictly divided into two totally different parts that the gap between the urban and the rural keeps widening. Except that, the other reasons Chongqing is anticipated to reform its household registration system are as followed:the big gap between the city and the county with regard to educational resources, employment opportunities, social security and so on; the progress of urbanization lagging behind industrialization; weak national consuming demand which contributes less to the economy; the resources in both urban and rural area remaining to be activated and used in comprehensive ways in order to boost the weak rural economy.Based the emerging problems above and urgent demand coming from balanced development of the urban and rural area.
