BEIJING - People whose households are registered in Beijing who have violated family planning policies and had more babies than allowed can have a child's household registered in the capital without penalty when Beijing conducts its sixth census starting this November.
Chen Quanning, a 36-year-old migrant worker from Henan province, was wandering in a crowded employment market in Beijing, disappointed not to find a job paying more than 2,000 yuan ($293) per month.
The family planning policy is facing a formidable obstacle spawned by progress - the rising affluence of an urban class.
