Resident shows ID card to get in the village. [Beijing News]

        今年4月，北京市对流动人口（floating population）倒挂村实行封闭管理（closed-end management ）的消息，将本名不见经传的村庄，瞬间推到了舆论的风口浪尖。如不出意外，在不久的将来，类似的道路设卡、凭证出入、安装摄像头等管理方式将在大兴区全部92个流动人口“倒挂村”实行。请看《中国日报》的报道：

       Beijing will pilot closed-end management in villages where floating population is larger than resident population, in a bid to maintain a good social order as well as to lower crime rates in village, the Beijing News reported Monday.

—— Excerpt from Beijing pilots closed management in some villages

       流动人口（floating population），是指离开户籍所在地的县、市或者市辖区，以工作、生活为目的异地居住的成年育龄人员。随着工业化、城镇化的快速发展，中国已经进入了人口流动迁移最为活跃的时期。流动人口所带来的公民权利、社会保障以及安全等方面的问题，一直是政府工作的重点。例如，今年两会期间，全国人大常委会副委员长王兆国在对《人大选举法修正案（草案）》所做的说明中提到：

       有些常委委员和地方提出，应对以农民工为主体的流动人口如何参加现工作地的县乡直接选举的问题作出明确规定。

       Some members of the NPC Standing Committee and localities have proposed that explicit provisions be made on the issue of how the floating population, composed mainly of rural migrant workers in cities, participate in direct elections in the counties or towns where they work.
