      abstract = {This book explores China's hukou system, by which  individuals are registered in a specific geographic region,  and the prospects for reform. The history of the hukou  system and its instrumental role in Chinese urbanization  and labor markets is explained, and readers get a sense of  what issues are prioritized by Chinese policymakers as they  contemplate reform or change to this system, from hukou-  based labor market discrimination, inequality of  opportunity, multi-dimensional poverty of rural migrants,  the public health consequences of non-hukou migration, and  old age insurance for migrants without hukous. The author  concludes with a stirring and practical call for hukou  reform, articulating a cost-benefit model and providing an  array of policy suggestions. This book will interest  scholars of Chinese society, demographics and future  urbanization. Yang Song is currently a Professor and  Assistant Dean of School of Economics at Renmin University  of China; he obtained a Ph.D degree in Economics from the  Department of Economics at Cornell University in 2013. His  research interest mainly lies in labor and development  economics with a focus on income distribution and labor  market issues in China.},
