Second child deserves hukou

The second child of a family, born in violation of the country's one-child family planning policy, should be granted household registration. Their legal status should not be made a measure of expediency in the sixth national census, says an article in Democracy and Law Times. Excerpts:

The government has started the sixth census and indicated that second children of parents, born in violation of the one-child policy, can apply for household registration (hukou) without having to pay any fine.
