In 1988 the Yunnan, China Family Planning Commission, the Public Security Department, and the Industrial and Commercial Administrative Bureau issued Trial Regulations aimed at getting a "good grasp of family planning controls" on individual entrepreneurs and the mobile population in the urban areas of Yunnan--groups in which there is a large number of excessive births. The Trial Regulations provide the following: "Individual entrepreneurs and the mobile population are great in number and work in a great variety of trades: their dwellings are scattered, and they are highly mobile. Thus the task of family planning regarding these people is heavy and difficult. Industrial and commercial administrative departments and public security and other departments must closely cooperate with family planning departments so as to strengthen family planning control over these people. At the same time, it is necessary to apply specific methods for strengthening family planning control when the mobile population, individual entrepreneurs, and temporary workers, forest workers, construction workers and so on apply for temporary residence permits, take out forestry licenses, and sign construction contracts."
