Suggestions on Estimation and Reasonable Share of the Governmental Cost of the Citizenization of Rural Transfer Population

In order to accurately estimate and reasonably share the cost of citizenization of the rural transfer population, the research method of empirical analysis and speculative analysis is adopted to study the cost of citizenization. The findings show that the cost borne by the government in 2018 was 10,400 yuan per capita annually, whereas in 10 years, the cost could be reduced to 8,300 yuan from the perspective of three main costs of compulsory education, housing security and urban management. Cost sharing should determine the goal of citizenization and the responsibility of the government, and clarify the current payment and future costs. It is suggested to establish a mechanism to link the increase of urban construction land with the decrease of collective construction land in rural area. It is also suggested to establish a distribution mechanism of land appreciation income, as well as a mechanism to link the debt limit of local governments with number of urbanized population. The research of cost estimation under the premise of a series of settings comes to a unique conclusion.
