推动城市化进程，中国户口改革制度的利弊

Promote the urbanization process, the pros and cons of China's hukou reform system

China among many other first world countries has done more in the recent future to improve service delivery to its citizens by adopting various sophisticated measures towards urbanization; this is done by selling the ideas mostly through advertisements and posters. Urbanization through advertisement helps in convincing and encouraging people to take good care of their personal space with caution, considering the standards of development, especially in technology. Urbanization for the better part of the decade meant building of urban infrastructure and ensuring access to urban services for a higher percentage of a population of a country; for the last thirty years China had put efforts towards this until some time when the country shifted its gear towards improving social services that became a necessity because of the increasing population in the urban areas.

The rapid migration that has been happening for more than twenty-five years back has been conflicting with the old hukou system regarding providing social services and the residency system in the country. The people in China for a long time has been viewing this as a way of limiting migration, the hukou system advertisement then came in to play to help the people change their view and embrace the system knowing that it is only there to allocate benefits equally to the citizens but not to limit mobility as perceived.

The image describes some boys who come from rural area standing front the banner advertising. The banner writes ”we have became the city people”.

Pro:

1. Narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and towns

2. To shorten the gap between rich and poor

3. The massive movement of people from rural to urban areas that accelerate the urbanization process

Con:

1. Urban employment competition intensifying 

2. ppl from rural arears don’t want to leave their homeland to immigrate to the urban. The defect of the policy is if they expect to live in the urban, they have to abandon their current lands userright in the rural area.

3. ppl from rural areas don’t want to immigrate since they can not adjust himself to the pace of metropolitan life
