Definition

Hukou segregation refers to the institutionalized system of household registration in China, which divides the population into rural and urban residents. This system has created a social divide between rural and urban populations, with urban residents enjoying better social welfare benefits, access to public services, and more job opportunities compared to their rural counterparts. Hukou segregation has been criticized for perpetuating inequality and limiting social mobility for rural residents. Efforts have been made in recent years to reform the hukou system and reduce the disparities between rural and urban areas.
