- Economic transition and urban transformation of China: The interplay of the state and the market (2015, background): “The food grain rationing system was eliminated in 1992, and the central government devolved more power to local governments on the control and management of the hukou system (Chan and Buckingham, 2008).”
- Identity, Inequality, and Happiness: Evidence from Urban China (2012, background): “In evidence, rural migrants find themselves excluded from many urban jobs (Chan & Buckingham, 2008) and face many formal and informal obstacles to securing employment (Li, 2003).”
- Happiness and job satisfaction in urban China: A comparative study of two generations of migrants and urban locals (2014, background): “Despite the policies and concern at central level, local governments’ slow and reluctant progress towards genuine urban citizenship of migrant workers has created the phenomenon of ‘one country, two societies’, or de facto ‘apartheid’ (Chan and Buckingham, 2008; Whyte, 2010).”
- Domestic structures, foreign economic policies and global economic order: Implications from the rise of large emerging economies (2015, neutral): “The household registration system (hukou), which ties an individual’s social benefits to a particular place, ‘is obviously central to the current system of sustaining super low-cost Chinese labour in the international market’ (Chan and Buckingham, 2008: 604).”
- The “difference between heaven and earth”: Urban–rural disparities in well-being in China (2012, background): “…into expanding cities, it was, and is, very difficult to change one’s hukou status from agricultural to non-agricultural, the main requirement being tertiary or technical secondary schooling, military service, or assignment to an urban job (Chan & Buckingham, 2008, pp. 590–591; Wu & Treiman, 2004).”
- Land Rights Insecurity and Temporary Migration in Rural China (2010, neutral): “The most recent overviews of this institution can be found in Wang (2004) and Chan and Buckingham (2008).”
