Why does Hefei need a residence permit to have children?

Couples of childbearing age with legal birth certificates can enjoy the birth assistance policy if they apply for residence permits to give birth to children at their current residence, and their children can take the college entrance examination locally.

Residence permit is an attempt made by some developed cities in China to learn from the "green card" system of developed countries, which has accumulated experience for China to formulate skilled migration measures and eventually form the national "green card" system of China. Holders of residence permits can enjoy the treatment of local residents.
