In China, the Hukou system has traditionally controlled migration from rural areas to cities. But if structural transformation is powered by exactly that type of migration, how did the Hukou system affect the life chances of Chinese people? Ting Chen of Hong Kong Baptist University is one of the authors of a new paper that examines how policy influenced patterns of migration for women and men. She discusses the Hukou system, the reforms to it, and how that changed the life chances of millions of women, with Tim Phillips.
