诟病已久的户籍问题背后是城乡隔阂及国民自由流动的问题。前不久，公安部发言人对媒体表示，“户改”文件正报国务院审批。然而他也同时表示，户籍制度改革的重点和难点就在于多年以来户口制度附着了很多公共政策，包括与社会保障权益相关的不能马上解决的矛盾。

What lies behind the much-criticized hukou (China's household registration system) issue is the gap between the city and the country and the free population flowing. Not long ago, a spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security told the media that the document of “Hukou Reform” has been submitted to the State Council for approval. However, he stated at the same time, that the focus and difficulty of hukou reform lied in a large number of long-established public policies attached to the hukou system, including conflicts related to social security rights, which could not be resolved on immediate basis.
