Beijing will stick to its household registration, or hukou system, due to the current state of the booming population, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday.
However, frictions between the massive population and the environmental resources have become increasingly significant during these years, including traffic congestions, lack of medical service and education resources. Therefore, Beijing will improve its management of the population and keep the household registration system, the paper quoted Zhao as saying.
Zhao also told the paper that migrants in Beijing have long played a positive role in the capital's development.
