Abstract:

It has drawn a heated discussion that the central government suggests solving the problem of real estate inventory in the third- and fourth-tier cities through the citizenization of migrant workers. The government focuses on the housing problem of migrant workers mainly from the perspectives of the implementation of the new urbanization strategy, the decline in economic growth and the imbalance of real estate market. To solve migrant workers’ housing problem and expand domestic housing demand through migrant workers’ house-purchase, it is required to diversify property income channels of migrant workers, which will help to strengthen their purchase willingness and purchase capacity. Consequently, the basic way to solve migrant workers’ housing problem lies in the marketization of rural housing and residential land and the deepening housing system reform which aims to improve migrant workers’ income and housing condition.
