通过对国家机关工作人员的访谈数据、相关文献和国家统计数据，对中国出生登记的法律、法规、规章制度、政策和操作程序进行了分析。研究了出生登记的现状和存在的问题，以及出生登记延迟对儿童权利和福利的影响。最后，对中国出生登记工作中存在的障碍进行了探讨，并提出了完善出生登记程序、保障儿童权利的对策。主要研究结果如下：第一，中国出生登记率低，农村和边缘儿童出生登记率更低。其次，双重出生登记制度和人口计生部门的干预造成了严重的行政困难。第三，中国出生登记存在的严重问题是不同利益相关者利益互动的结果，而大多数利益相关者并没有意识到问题的维度。讨论了促进出生登记的战略和政策。
Data from interviews with staff of government offices, relevant literature and national statistics are used to analyze laws, regulations, rules, policies and operational procedures concerning birth registration in China. The current status of and existing problems with birth registration, as well as the influences of delayed birth registration on children’s rights and welfare are examined. Finally, barriers to birth registration in China are explored and strategies to improve the process of birth registration and to protect children’s rights are proposed. The main findings are as follows: First, the rate of birth registration in China is low and in rural areas and for marginalized children, it is even lower. Second, the dual birth registration system and interference from the Population and Family Planning department cause serious administrative difficulties. Third, the serious problems surrounding birth registration in China are a result of interactions among the interests of different stakeholders, while most stakeholders are unaware of the dimensions of the problems. Strategies and policies to promote birth registration are discussed.
