Hukou, or hukou, is a legal document made by the household administration department of the public security organ to record and retain the basic information of the registered population.
In ancient times, the hukou management had a strong color of hierarchy and class oppression, so it had obvious feudal autocracy. However, in modern times, the household registration management in countries all over the world is an indispensable operating basis in many fields, such as citizens' life, public services, government administration, national justice and so on.
It is a sign that the state confirms and protects the legitimate rights and interests of registrants according to law, and the legal vouchers and information services it provides are an indispensable premise and foundation for citizens' normal activities and exchanges.
It is the necessary foundation of urban management and other administrative management related to community, family and population. Its identification of identity, capacity for rights and responsibility and its support for the division of jurisdiction are also the necessary foundation of various judicial activities in various countries.
It not only exerts psychological pressure on the registered people who are generally registered, but also strongly supports various public utilities, public services, public management and public safety work in various ways, such as personal identification, verification, time and space control, promoting neighborhood relations, and organizing residents' self-defense.
After entering the information age, people's free activities are more extensive and their contacts are more frequent. The basic information of registered population provided by household registration management has increasingly become an indispensable information base for people's production and life, social service management and national administration and justice.
Household registration management has become the most important public information management system in modern society, and its function of restricting and even suppressing will disappear completely, while its function of coordination and service will be continuously enhanced.
Therefore, household registration management will not be weakened, nor will it be "cancelled" in the future society.
It can only be steadily strengthened in accordance with the law, providing more convenient and efficient services for public life, mass production, social services, government administration and other state actions, and playing its due role in a wider, more diverse and more sustainable scope.
