Recently, big cities have had a showdown, and if they don't consume enough, they will use the population to make up, and the hukou has begun to be worthless. Recently, Nanjing, Foshan, Hangzhou, Wuhan and other cities have all reached the full level of "buying a house and settling down", which can be called "buying a house and sending a household registration in order to grab the population".
According to the statistics of the China Index Research Institute, nearly 20 cities have launched or optimized the policy of "buying a house and settling down" in recent years.
The Great Northeast, where the population loss is serious, is even more ruthless, and you don't need to buy a house, Shenyang directly launched a new policy of "renting and settling down", in short, as long as people come to the household registration, there is no need to worry.
With the opening of household registration, we should also be soberly aware that household registration is not a panacea, and it cannot solve all problems. Perhaps in the past, we thought of the hukou as a precious symbol, but now, it seems to be losing its former value. With the equalization of public services, hukou is no longer the only guarantee of welfare, and we no longer need to constantly run for a hukou.
In the past, hukou was more expensive than a house, and those who could buy a house may not be able to settle down. In the future, the hukou is a tool used to guide the purchase of a house.
Of course, for the time being, hukou in Shanghai and Beijing is still scarce, and their status has not changed much. Especially in Beijing, in recent years, Beijing's policy settlement has not been relaxed, but is gradually tightening, but for the settlement of talents and highly educated graduates, Beijing is also gradually loosening.
Shanghai's settlement policy has been relaxed. For example, graduate students studying in Shanghai can settle down directly, and migrant workers working in the Lingang area can settle down after three years.
If housing prices fall further, Beijing and Shanghai, two special big cities, may also introduce a relaxation policy for the property market.
In the past, there were three main reasons why household registration was "fragrant".
College Entrance Examination and School District
Because educational resources are increasingly skewed towards cities, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider. For ordinary people, desperately staying in the city is largely for their children to be exposed to better education and a better quality circle.
In China's test-oriented education, scores are a very cruel chain of food competition. The acceptance rate of the college entrance examination varies in different regions, and students from other places who go to universities in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai must score at least 40 points more than local students.
Taking a step back, in case the child's grades are really hopeless, he can be like the party building cadres above, just relying on the advantage of household registration, and have one more survival weight.
In addition, some high-quality educational resources are also tied to the household registration, which is the reason why the school district housing account is very valuable.
Medical benefits
The preferential medical treatment of urban hukou also builds a protective wall for the health of the elderly.
In Shanghai, for example, the elderly over the age of 60 can enjoy a free health check-up once a year, in addition, for the elderly with financial difficulties, they can also apply for medical assistance to reduce the burden.
As for Beijing, high reimbursement of critical illness insurance: Beijing medical insurance has a high reimbursement amount for critical illness insurance, which can help patients reduce the financial pressure of critical illness treatment. For the reimbursement of some rare diseases and high-priced drugs, Beijing medical insurance also has corresponding policy support.
People flock to the urban hukou, essentially because there are too many advantages and benefits of the urban hukou. In the economic era, the hukou in big cities has not only become a symbol of identity and strength, but also a concentrated gathering of resources.
Buying a house
In the era of rising housing prices, if you don't have a hukou, you have to wait for several years to be eligible to buy a house, and those who can settle down can buy it right away. In the past, housing prices rose, and early purchase made money, so hukou was also very popular.
However, in the era of declining house prices, some logic will change.
So, why were major cities very reserved in the past, and various conditions were required to settle down, such as paying social security for one year, etc., but now all the showdowns are gone, and the hukou can be sent to buy a house or even rent a house?
To put it bluntly, the national population market is close to the top, and major cities have entered the stage of "basic talent grabbing".
In recent years, our birth population has dropped sharply. China's population in 2022 is 850,000 fewer than in 2021, the first decline in recent decades, marking that China has entered a period of negative population growth, and last year, it was 2.08 million fewer than the end of the previous year.
In the past few decades, the population of the mainland has been growing rapidly, but in the past 10 years, the growth rate of the mainland's population has obviously reached a bottleneck, and the population has obviously not grown.
From 2017 to 2023, the number of new births in mainland China will be 17.23 million, 15.24 million, 14.65 million, 12 million, 106 20,000, 9.56 million, and 9.02 million respectively.
The corresponding net increase in population was 7.37 million, 5.31 million, 4.67 million, 2.03 million, 480,000, -850,000 and -2.08 million respectively.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics on January 17, China's "urbanization rate" continues to increase. In terms of the composition of urban and rural areas, the permanent urban population was 932.67 million, an increase of 11.96 million over the end of the previous year; the permanent population in rural areas was 477 million, a decrease of 14.04 million; The proportion of urban population in the national population (urbanization rate) was 66.16 percent, an increase of 0.94 percentage points over the end of the previous year.
It is reported that China's urbanization rate is targeted to exceed 80%, compared with only 66% at present.
Therefore, based on various current situations, in order to "grab people", major cities can only lower the threshold for settling down, of course, it is also to revitalize the city's economy and make the city "richer", so now "grab talents."
Moreover, it is not only those highly educated and high-tech talents who are robbed, but also those who are "sluggish in consumption and relying on internal circulation", as long as you can consume you, you are "the most valuable talent in the 21st century".
So, do you think that if this trend continues, will the depreciation of the account become more and more severe?
