China Removes Hukou Hurdle for Migrant Workers in Social Insurance Shake Up China's announcement to remove the hukou hurdle for migrant workers in social insurance has sent shockwaves through the labor market.
The move is part of the government's broader effort to create a unified national market by eliminating barriers to the free flow of capital and talent.
The hukou system, established in the 1950s, was designed to control population migration and allocate resources according to local needs.
