The 2010 China Census shows that there are 130 million individuals without a hukou, the household registration record in China.

Guo Shengkun, Public Security Minister of China, presided over a high-level meeting with focus on finding a solution for hukou registration problems of unregistered individuals on Nov. 21, 2015.

The individuals born outside the one-child policy accounts for more than 60 percent of the population without hukou's, according to research conducted by Wan Haiyuan and his colleagues in July and August, 2014.Wan is an associate research fellow at the Academy of Macroeconomic Research of the National Development and Reform Commission.

According to Household Registration Ordinance implemented since 1958, authorities must register all Chinese citizens without additional conditions.

The public security departments, members of the population, and family planning commissions at all levels, require the parents of babies to show the "one-child" certificates when they get their babies registered with the hukou police. The incomplete statistics show that more than 20 public security departments at the provincial or municipal levels make clear in their regulations that the certificates from the population and family planning commissions are one of the preconditions for people to have local hukous.

According to the local policies in certain regions of China a person cannot have a hukou if his or her parents do not pay the penalties. Li Xue, a native Beijinger, is one of the unplanned children whose families have not paid the "social maintenance fee" demanded by family planning offices.

Li Xue was born in 1993 to a handicapped mother. At that time Li's parents could not afford the "social maintenance fee" of five thousand yuan and therefore she could not have the local Beijing hukou.

Without a hukou, Li cannot go to school, enjoy social security benefits, receive medical services, get married or give birth to a child legitimately and finds it difficult to get a job.

The Chinese Ministry of Public Security emphasizes that every citizen is entitled to the basic right of getting registered for permanent residence, according to the constitution and the laws. A suggestion on solving the hukou registration problem for 100 percent of individuals without hukous was made during the meeting.
