The reform plan was supposed to improve the situation by allowing migrants in towns and small cities to acquire local residency permits more freely, while easing the requirements in medium-sized cities. But efforts to reform the system have been met with strong resistance, especially from local governments and residents, who fear the strain that unregulated migration to their cities will have on resources, employment, and services.
这一改革计划正是为了改善上述状况，允许小型城镇的流动人口更容易获得当地居留资格，同时放宽中型城市的相关限制条件。但改革却遭遇了极大阻力，尤其是各地政府和居民的反对，因为担心不加限制的移民会对本地的资源，就业和公共服务带来压力。结果一场切实的户口改革依然迟迟无法来临。
