Info: A Hukou refers to the system of residency permits which dates back to ancient China, where household registration is required by law in People's Republic of China and Republic of China. A household registration record officially identifies a person as a resident of an area and includes identifying information such the name of the person, date of birth, the names of parents, and name of spouse, if married. **Refering back to previous post, this probably would interfere with migrant construction pay because they move around and aren't a resident necessarily of one particular area.
