据《京华时报》报道，中国“十二五”规划提出，老年人将有望随着子女迁移户口，并享受当地给予户籍老年人同等的优惠政策。
China is planning to give senior citizens who migrate to cities to be with their children the same entitlements as local citizens, the Beijing Times reported, citing the 12th Five-Year Plan (20112015).

中国老龄工作委员会官员阎青春介绍，现在很多年轻人在外打拼事业，政府需完善家庭养老支持政策，为老年人随赡养人迁徙提供条件、减少阻力，鼓励子女赡养父母。
Because many young people leave their hometown for work, policies must be made to facilitate migration of their parents to encourage family support of the elderly, said Yan Qingchun, who works on China's National Working Commission on Aging.

阎青春表示，这些政策可能会在中小城市率先实行，对于北京、上海等大城市，可能不会像中小城市一样放开户籍，毕竟大城市要“控制”人口。
Yan said the new policy is supposed to target small- and medium-sized cities first, and megacities like Beijing and Shanghai will not be opened to migrant parents as those cities are attempting to control population growth.
