  1. A Study of Equalization of Sexual and Reproductive Health Public Services for Floating Population in China* Duan Chengrong Yu XuejunWu Lili * Sponsored by UNFPA

  2. Floating Population: a new phenomenon in the past 25 years Household Registration (Hu Kou) System,1958 Purpose of Hu Kou System: to control migration from rural to urban It worked “effectively” in controlling migration

  3. # of migrants in China

  4. Is it possible to move, just ignoring Hu Kou? No, during 1960’s and 1970’s. Because: (1) Illegal to stay, and will be sent back to the origin (2) Without Hu Kou, almost impossible to get food, cloth, meat, cooking oil, …

  5. Sharpe increase of the # of people living away from their Hu Kou since mid 1980’s Reasons for the Sharp increase: huge amount of surplus agricultural labor labor demand in cities sufficient supply of food, etc relatively loosening of control over migration

  6. Floating Population emerged as a new concept, in late 1980s Floating Population: people who leave their place of Hu Kou and live (for long enough, e.g. 6+ months) in another place, but don’t have the Hu Kou of the latter place

  7. young adults:80% aged 15~34, huge demand for public service of RH

  8. However, public services for floating population are far from satisfactory.Some examples

  9. Data collected by China Pop and Development Research Center Only 29% of floaters understand the ways of transmission of HIV/AIDS correctly, though 95% of them know HIV/AIDS

  10. Only 60% of floaters can get free (required by policy) contraceptives in the hosting cities

  11. ¼ of floating women don’t have prenatal medical check. • About 30% of floating women producing their children in their home. • Only 30% of floating parents can get their “only-child stipend” in time.

  12. Majority of floating women (74.23% ) don’t receive medical personnel’s/family planning worker’s visit within one month after childbearing. • Majority of floating women (81.83%) don’t receive medical personnel’s/family planning worker’s visit after abortion operation.

  13. Major reasons for the vulnerable status for public services for the floating pop Public services such as education, health care were for a long time provided for people with local HK, floating population not taken into account. Sharp increase of size and the geographically uneven distribution of floating population make the situation even worse.

  14. # of China’s Floating Population（in ten thousand） 20100 14735 10229 7073 1982,1990,2000 pop censuses; 1987, 1995, 2005 1% pop surveys; 2008 family statistics 2125 1910 657 2008 1982 1987 1990 1995 2000 2005 14

  15. Uneven distribution of floating population

  16. How to improve public services for the floating population To treat the floating population equally, State Council (2006) Should be implemented in practice. Reform of HK system Central government should input more resources Hosting cities should treat equally the floating population and people with local HK, take the responsibilities to provide public services.

  17. Some special groups of floating population deserve more attention Floating population living in the villages (16%), long been ignored, but much more vulnerable Unmarried floating population

  18. Thank you！
