What is a floating population?

Floating population refers to adult people of childbearing age who leave the counties, cities and municipal districts where their household registration is located and live in different places for the purpose of work and life.

1. Floating population can be divided into inflow population and outflow population. Inflow population refers to the non-registered population who came to the region, and outflow population refers to the registered population who left the region to live in other places.

2. The earliest floating population legislation at the provincial level is the Administrative Measures for Family Planning of Floating Population in Guangdong Province (1987). The fundamental reason for the floating population is that the obligations, activities and articles necessary for individuals or groups in social life are separated from each other in space.

Extended data:

1, population migration is not population migration, but more common and frequent than population migration, and floating population cannot be called immigration. Population mobility is divided into periodic mobility and round-trip mobility.

2. "Separation of people and households" can be divided into inter-provincial separation of people and households and inter-regional separation of people and households in provinces (cities), streets and townships (towns) according to whether the separated space spans provincial cities. Among them, the former is called inter-provincial floating population, which is a long-distance flow across provincial boundaries, and the latter is called floating population within provinces (cities).

3. If the public security, civil affairs, human resources and social security, public health and other departments of the people's government at the county level and the county-level administrative department for industry and commerce violate the provisions of Article 9 of these regulations, the competent department of the people's government at the corresponding level or the people's government at a higher level shall order it to make corrections, informed criticism.

4. The proportion of children of floating population enrolled in public schools is low, and it is difficult for older children to complete compulsory education in the inflow areas. Only 69% of the children of floating population attend the public schools in the inflow areas, and the student status management system is the main reason that affects the junior high school education in the inflow areas.
