Shanghai Switches from Domicile to Residence Control

Shanghai has taken the lead in instituting a residence system instead of domicile control, according to which communal management, family planning, population control and other related services are provided by various grassroots residential centers, a move away from traditional domicile control long practiced in China.

Shanghai has nowadays a constant drifting population of over 2.3 million and most of these are found to have no fixed domicile. According to Xinmin Evening News, following a domicile-based population and family planning management system as was in the past can in no way meet the new situation in Shanghai today.

Family planning departments see to it that necessary reproduction health services are provided for all residential people and laid-off workers in Shanghai, including those of floating population from other provinces.

Public security departments in Shanghai have their designated task to check on "drifting population marital and childbearing certificates when temporary residential certificates are issued. Labor and industry and commercial departments undertake the work to check into family planning when they issue business license. Health departments also need to check "childbearing cards". House departments are required to exercise strict control on house leasing and lending management.
