Sumario:This work analyzes the well-being of the Chinese population and considers some of the related problems from the point of view of capabilities and segmentation of the labor market, which has been driven by the household registration system (hukou). This study also points out that China’s notable economic growth in the past few decades has resulted in social economic inequality and, despite the fact that reforms to hukou increased mobility among the population, both rural migrants and urban residents from other cities still face obstacles in accessing public benefits and services, as they are registered in a different place.
