Abstract:  In the Chinese context，migration is defined to be move with hukou relocation，which is closely associated with urbanization. Over the past two years，the central government has attached great importance to the urbanization progress of the registered residents. A new round of household registration system reform was launched in 2014. Based on the data of hukou registration transition in 2013，this study examines patterns and determinants of household migration and urbanization of regis- tered population. Results indicate that the difference of hukou status between rural and urban areas was the fundamental cause in holding back household migration. Moreover，migration to big cities is pre- ferred by elites，while the medium-sized cities and small towns are lack of attraction for these people.
