Which is better, a rural household registration or an urban household registration?

The public security authorities of our country classify household registration into only two types: agricultural household registration and non-agricultural household registration. Later, non-agricultural household registration came to be called town household registration or urban household registration, while rural resident household registration specifically refers to the type of household registration that corresponds to town resident household registration in areas where reform of the household registration management system has been carried out and agricultural and non-agricultural household registration has been abolished. Now let us take a look at whether a rural household registration is better or an urban household registration is better!

Differences between agricultural household registration and non-agricultural household registration

1. Definition: When our country was in the era of the planned economy, the people at that time were divided into the two categories that are now agricultural household registration and non-agricultural household registration. Agricultural household registration refers to the registered agricultural population that can produce grain by its own hard work, while non-agricultural household registration refers to urban household registration residents who rely on the state to allocate grain rations.

2. Employment: Compared with agricultural household registration, the biggest difference of non-agricultural household registration is that cities have a policy of labor re-employment. There is not much other difference, but the government's investment in rural areas in terms of employment is much less than its investment in cities in terms of employment.

3. Education: Some high-quality educational resources in cities have a lower threshold for local urban household registration residents, while those with rural household registration may have to pay certain fees to attend, and other thresholds are also somewhat higher.

4. Social insurance: The difference between basic agricultural household registration and non-agricultural household registration is very small. People who have graduated from university will have the feeling that if you have agricultural household registration, your employer pays three insurances and one fund for you, while if you have town household registration, it pays five insurances and one fund for you. Other aspects are basically integrated, though there are certain differences in some aspects of unemployment insurance.

5. Other aspects: Those with rural household registration are allocated land, while cities do not have this. In addition, another difference is that in aspects such as joining the military, retirement from service, and seeking self-employment after retirement from service, people with urban household registration receive more subsidies than people with agricultural household registration.

What benefits does urban household registration have?

1. Urban household registration allows you to apply for economically affordable housing and price-capped housing, which are at least more than 2000 yuan cheaper per sq m than commodity housing.

2. For children's schooling, everyone should be relatively clear about this. Besides exempting children from the temporary study fee, the main thing is being able to attend a good school.

3. When applying to a university in a certain city, candidates with household registration in that city have a score line 20 points lower than the provincial line.

4. In social insurance, besides medical insurance being somewhat higher, pensions in particular are much higher when returned according to Qingdao household registration.

What benefits does rural household registration have?

1. Ownership of land: Farmers generally have three kinds of land: homestead land, contracted land, and forest land. Houses can be built on homestead land, and contracted land and forest land can enjoy various subsidies. If you are a farmer living in the inner suburbs of a city, the land will appreciate faster, and the household registration will therefore be more valuable.

2. Collective income distribution: Some rural areas allow participation in the distribution of collective economic benefits such as land. If you do not have household registration, you cannot participate in the dividends.

3. Land expropriation compensation: If the government or a developer expropriates or requisitions land collectively owned by farmers, certain compensation must be given.

4. Buying a house in the city: House-buying policies stipulate that farmers can buy houses in cities, but urban residents buying houses in rural areas is not protected by law.

5. Critical illness insurance and the new rural cooperative medical system: The new rural cooperative medical system is a mutual-aid and mutual-benefit medical system for farmers that focuses on pooled arrangements for major illnesses, raising funds through individual contributions, collective support, and government subsidies. Critical illness insurance reimburses the high medical expenses incurred from major illnesses, and the reimbursement rate for farmers participating in the new rural cooperative medical system is no less than 50%.

6. The new rural pension insurance: The new rural pension insurance aims to guarantee the basic living of rural residents in old age and adopts a funding model combining individual contributions, collective subsidies, and government subsidies. That is to say, residents with rural household registration only need to pay a small part of the money to purchase pension insurance, and when they reach 60 years old, they can receive a certain pension.

Summary: The benefits of rural household registration in our country are still many, and it is becoming more and more valuable. Because of land interests, some people with town household registration have tried every possible means to become rural household registration, and some unhealthy signals have already appeared. Some town residents have set their sights on rural land with room for appreciation or that is about to be covered by urbanization, hoping to convert to rural household registration and obtain more economic benefits.
