1 Land Reform and Urbaniza0on An Evolu0onary Perspec0ve Qiren ZHOU Na$onal School of Development Peking University 1

2 2012 China: 65% of Popula5on is Rural Residents with rural HUKOU( 户口 ). 48% of Popula5on is Residents living in rural areas longer than 6 months per year. Only 10.1% of GDP comes from Agriculture 2

3 Economic Implica,ons It doesn t mean that 65% of Popula,on share only 10% of GDP Because about 17% of Popula,on (230 million!) is rural migrant worker living in ci,es longer than 6 months per year but s,ll keeps rural Hukou, and owns farmland and rural houses in their hometowns. It doesn t mean that 48% of popula,on share 10% of GDP. Because another es,mated 15-20% of popula,on commutes between rural areas and ci,es, earning income from non- agriculture businesses. 3

4 Adding all their income together, rural residents per capita income is only about 30% of those urban residents. Rural- urban income ra,os 65% 35% 15% 4

6 Key Issues How to make agriculture more efficient to support rapid urbaniza,on? How to reconstruct rural society when millions rural people moved out? How to enlarge the scale of ci,es? How to raise funds to build more urban infrastructure? How city socie,es become more inclusive to rural migrants? 6

7 Gradualism in land reform Since 1978, rural households have been allowed to take out long term lease on collec,ve land for private farm use Since 1984, farmland has become transferable among rural residents for agriculture business. Since 1987, urban land owned by the state can be leased long- term on market- basis for commercial usage. 7

8 An Incomplete Project Rural residents have rights to transfer their farm land to other rural residents, or even lease their farmland to urban people, but the exis,ng law prohibits them from selling their housing land and proper,es to urban residents. Local governments have legal power to requisi,on rural land for urban development A segregated land system has caused wide- spread conflicts and massive misalloca,on of land resources. 8

9 , a total of 27,200 sq kilometers of rural land was requisi,oned and converted to state- ownership.(roughly 4500 sq kilometers per year)(wb, 2013) Total outstanding debt of local government amounted to 10.7 trillion RMB or about 27% of China s GDP of Also in 2010, 78 city governments and 99 county governments held debt obliga,ons more than 100% of local GDP. 9

10 Across the country, the government takes land from approximately 4 million rural people or 1.1 million households every year (Landesa 2013); There had been more than 100,000 mass incidents with more than 100 people involved each every year in recent years (CASS, 2013); 60% of all mass protests have to do with land (DRC,2012). 10

12 In Yunan Dali city, Xizhou town, Wenge villiage, Mr. Duan s family: Mr. Duan has been a taxi driver in Dali city for 12 years; the couple rented a one-bed room apartment in the city they have a house of 700 sqm, built on a 400 sqm land at their hometown, which is 40 minute drive away from the city his parents and his 7 year old son live at their hometown house in June 2007, Dali city government auction land at 3.75 million RMB per mu. 12

13 Path to A Unified Land Market De facto property rights to de jure property rights During , many de facto private farm land usage took place in various parts of China. Before the law was changed in 1987, de facto transfers of land to foreign investors in southern China already took place. Since late 1990s, housing projects with informal land rights ( 小产权 ) were booming surrounding a few major ci,es. Since 2003, central government has chartered several reform experimental zones to find a way for a unified land market. 13

14 Step 1, Delinea$on of Rural Land Rights Chengdu s case During , In Chengdu, a city with 5 million rural residents, all rural land, including farmland, forestland, housing land, and the other construc,on land, had been re- measured, registered, and been issued official property deeds
