100 million migrant workers will be granted urban resident status
From 2016, China will roll out a policy to grant 100 million migrant workers urban resident status, according to Xu Shaoshi, head of the National Development and Reform Commission.
Xu added the move is expected to drive home sales and consumption.
Nearly 55 percent of migrant workers live in cities but less than 40 percent hold a "hukou" (official residence status) for the places where they live and work.
