Over the past six months, Yulin has set off a vigorous population movement into the city. All this starts with a task established by Yulin City at the end of last year.
On February 30th, 20021,12, Yulin held a "Mobilization Meeting for Accelerating the Work of Population Entering the City", at which it was proposed to accelerate the construction of a city with a population of one million and realize the work goal of Yulin People's Congress.
It is reported that although the population base of Yulin City is relatively large, the urban population is only a few hundred thousand, which is far from the minimum standard of big cities 1 10,000 population.
Since the beginning of this year, Yulin has issued a series of policies to speed up the population entering the city. Nowadays, in Yulin, from every district and county to every township, the task of "bringing people into the city" has been issued to ensure that the newly added permanent population in cities and towns will reach more than 500,000 in 2025.
Official viewing group
Yulin, located in the southeast of Guangxi, bordering Guangdong Province, has jurisdiction over 7 counties (cities, districts) including Beiliu City, Rongxian County, Luchuan County, Bobai County, Xingye County, Yuzhou District, Fumian District and Yudong New District. By the end of 2020, the registered population was 74 1 000, and the permanent population was 5.8 million, making it the second most populous city in Guangxi.
Since June 65438+ 10 this year, Yulin local real estate has received wave after wave of house-viewing groups. Different from purely commercial tour groups in other places, most of these tour groups are organized by the government, and many of them are organized by local governments at all levels or functional organs.
The property consultant of a real estate in Yulin City told China Newsweek that this year, the real estate did receive many official organizations' house-viewing activities. "The number of people is uncertain, and most of them are organized by county-level organs or from towns and villages." The property consultant said.
The above statement has also been confirmed by many local real estate agents. In the official name of Yulin Rong Media Center, "Yulin Publicity", related reports are even more common.
For example, on February 2 1 day, 26 local villages (communities) 130 people participated in the centralized house-viewing activities under the organization and deployment of the Party Committee of Fumian Town, Fumian District. A group of people from the viewing group came to Yulin City to focus on viewing houses. As of February 2 1 day, there were 37 sets of tasks for the population of Fumian Town to enter the city.

On February 24th, Da Qiao Town, Luchuan County organized more than 20 people to go to Yulin City for centralized house inspection. Qiu, a member of the Party Committee of Da Qiao Town, Luchuan County, said that in the next step, the Party Committee and government of the town will take more forms and organize more people to visit the city.
In addition, on March 1 1, the Health Bureau of Fumian District organized a house-visiting group of more than 80 people in the health system; On March 16, the Working Committee of directly under the authority, Xingye County organized cadres and people interested in buying houses to form a house-viewing group to visit Yulin City. On April 26th, Bobai County Urban Management Supervision Bureau organized a field trip to Yulin's real estate project for those who are willing to buy a house in Yulin.

In addition to organizing large and small movie groups, Yulin also organized various forms of publicity activities. For example, on June 20, 65438, Yulin organized the "Centralized Signing Ceremony for Accelerating the Work of Population Entering the City and the Fair for Home Improvement of Real Estate Appliances", and also held the signing ceremony for purchasing houses and the issuing ceremony of financial subsidies for new citizens to purchase houses.
According to Yulin Daily, since February this year, Yulin Greenland City * * * has received nearly 1,000 people to look at the house, and the transaction exceeded 100 sets. There are more than 300 visiting groups in four properties in Yulin Country Garden, exceeding1.65,438+0,000 person-times.
Persuade people to go to town
Behind the endless stream of viewing groups is Yulin's vigorous population movement into the city.
Zhang Ming, who works in an office in Yulin, told China Newsweek that almost all local offices and institutions have been assigned the propaganda task of population entering the city.
Like organizing a house-viewing group, some government agencies and units in Yulin have also organized publicity activities of visiting villages and going deep into the community.
For example, in March 10, Da Qiao Town, Luchuan County organized staff and volunteers to carry out publicity activities on the main streets of the town. During the activity, the staff publicized the relevant policies of population entering the city by hanging banners, distributing information to the people in the past, and explaining on the spot.
On April 2 1 day, Yulin City Emergency Management Bureau organized cadres and workers to go to Maolin Town, Yudong New District to carry out publicity and launch activities to accelerate the population entering the city; The next day, Yulin Municipal Development and Reform Commission went to Lang Ping Town, Bobai County to carry out a publicity campaign to speed up the population entering the city.

In order to promote the population to enter the city, Yulin even used the big move of buying a house and "sending workers". According to the "Several Policies and Measures of Yulin City on Accelerating Population Entering the City", the local authorities are responsible for recommending more than three jobs to new citizens who have bought houses in this city and are not employed, and the salary is not lower than the minimum wage in Yulin City.
"When we go on publicity, we will focus on some key policies, such as housing subsidies and homestead exit policies." Zhang Ming revealed.
It's not just offline publicity. Li Hong, who works in a public institution in Yulin, told China Newsweek that the organization also asked everyone to forward the information of population entering the city on the circle of friends, WeChat group and QQ group.
It is understood that Yulin has also introduced a subsidy mechanism for new citizens to buy houses that is compatible with the population entering the city. Relevant policies show that new citizens purchase the first set of newly-built commercial housing below 90 square meters in the urban planning area, with a subsidy of 6,000 yuan per set; Purchase the first set of newly-built commercial housing with an area of more than 90 square meters, with a subsidy of 1 10,000 yuan per set; Give 50% subsidy on the basis of deed tax paid for house purchase.
At the same time, according to the notice of "Implementation Rules for Accelerating the Withdrawal Compensation of Rural Homestead Population in Yulin City", if farmers voluntarily withdraw from the homestead and promise not to apply for building in rural areas, the land price compensation will be increased by 10% with reference to the local benchmark land price, and the area of the withdrawn homestead will be calculated; The above-ground buildings shall be compensated according to the increase of replacement price 10%.
These Rules are valid from 1 October 1 day in 2022 to/February1day in 2022.
Li Hong revealed that her unit still has an important task in the activity of population entering the city, which is to contact migrant workers in Yulin. She said, "Whether these people are willing to go back to China to buy a house is the focus of our attention."
Zhang Ming told China Newsweek that every district, county and township has been assigned the task of population entering the city. "No matter how many houses are purchased and how many permanent residents are added, there are clear tasks".
China News Weekly learned that in Yulin, government agencies at the city level, government agencies at the district and county levels, and even towns and villages have been assigned tasks related to population entering the city. The task is usually completed in four years. From 2022 to 2025, there are quantitative and specific indicators every year.
For example, Yulin City has set a target of 500,000 permanent residents entering the city by 2025. According to the registered population, its subordinate cities, such as Beiliu City, Rongxian County, Luchuan County, Bobai County, Xingye County, Yuzhou District, Fumian District and Yudong New District, have allocated 6,543,800, 59,000, 76,000 and 654.38+03 respectively.
Districts and counties will take the task to the next level of streets or towns.
In addition to publicity and compaction at all levels, Yulin has also set up a reward and punishment mechanism for people entering the city.
Take Bobai County as an example. The county holds a progress meeting of population entering the city once a week. At the work progress meeting on March 16, Bobai County interviewed the last three towns and departments in that week.
According to relevant documents, at the municipal level, Yulin will deduct points from the performance of counties (cities, districts) that cannot complete the task of population entering the city until their performance is degraded.
The effect is unpredictable.
Statistics show that in 2002 1 year, the urban population of Yulin City was 293 1,1000, and the rural population was 2,884,700, with an urbanization rate of 50.4%.
At the same time, the national urbanization rate in 20021year was 64.72%, and the urbanization rate in Yulin was far below the national average. Some analysts believe that this may be the reason why Yulin has recently vigorously promoted the population to enter the city.
Over the past six months, Yulin's vigorous population has entered the city and achieved certain results in real estate sales. According to official statistics of Yulin, as of May 12, Yulin has accepted new citizens' applications for housing purchase and deed tax subsidies 1002, with a total payment of 10702800 yuan.
Tommy, who lives in a town in Yulin, has his own observation and thinking about the action of population entering the city. She said, "Except for those who went to college and can be local teachers and civil servants, most of the young people in their hometown have gone to Guangdong to work, and most of them have stayed in Guangdong, which may be the reason why Yulin is eager to keep people."
Tommy said that even with more persuasion, he and his friends would rather stay in Guangdong. "Shenzhen and Guangzhou have high housing prices, but in Foshan, Zhongshan and Jiangmen in the Pearl River Delta, housing prices are acceptable and employment opportunities are far better than Yulin." She said.
Many industry experts admit that the final result of Yulin's population entering the city is still difficult to predict.
According to Wang Guangzhou, a researcher at the Institute of Population Studies of China Academy of Social Sciences, mobilizing agricultural population transfer through administrative means may achieve certain results in the short term, but it may not be effective in the long run.
"Statistically, 70% ~ 80% of the population moved because of work or business," Wang told China.
Yao Chen, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, also believes that farmers' willingness to go to cities is both a voluntary act and a natural process. When the urban economy and industry develop to a certain extent, the surplus agricultural population will naturally transfer to cities. Promoting urbanization by administrative means is debatable.
He told China Newsweek that it is better to attract agricultural immigrants through industry and income than to mobilize people into cities through administrative means.
"Yulin is geographically close to the Pearl River Delta. Now many industries in the Pearl River Delta are seeking transfer. Yulin should upgrade infrastructure, improve industrial facilities, especially create a better business environment and undertake industries in the Pearl River Delta region. " Yao Chen said, "In this way, although the income of farmers is slightly lower than that of Guangdong, considering that they can take care of their families, they will choose to stay in Yulin more."
