Abstract
In April 2012, the government of Guangdong Province selected Huizhou City as the first pilot city of this province to further promote comprehensive reform on the equalization of basic public services. Under the policy background, this paper selects pilot city, namely Huizhou, as an experimental research object, and selects three core indicators of the foundational education, social insurances and medical and health services to analyze. Specifically, this paper introduces governmental policies and security standards, and uses statistical analysis and coefficient of variation method to calculate and compare the index data for each county (district) of Huizhou City from 2008 to 2014. Overall, by studying current situation of the equalization of basic public services, we know the government of Huizhou has innovatively established a series of policies and measures and made considerable achievements in the process of implementation. Many coefficients of variation of indicators have declined after pilot project. But among the basic public services, the medical and health service develops slowly and it is serious unequal. The construction of medical and health service has become the bottleneck of the equalization of basic public services. Finally, according to the medical problem, the corresponding countermeasures are put forward.
Highlights
In 1954, Samuelson proposed that products are divided into private goods and public goods, which everyone can consume public goods, and cannot reduce the other people’s consumption [1]
The basic public services are provided by the government, which depend on the level of economic and social development
The construction of medical and health services is a main aspect of basic public services as important as education, which determines the quality of medical services and the distribution of medical resource in each district
Summary
In 1954, Samuelson proposed that products are divided into private goods and public goods, which everyone can consume public goods, and cannot reduce the other people’s consumption [1]. Public services the government provides include private goods and public goods, so the concept of “public goods” can’t cover the “public services” [4]. The basic public services are provided by the government, which depend on the level of economic and social development. It aims at ensuring the survival and development of all citizens. In December 2009, the government of Guangdong Province prior issued the “Guangdong Provincial Planning Outline for Equalization of Basic Public Services (2009-2020)” (hereinafter referred as Guangdong Plan). This paper selects pilot city, namely Huizhou, as an experimental research object, and combines with the security standards of the above plans to analyze the implementation of equalization of basic public services in Huizhou since the pilot. This paper selects the three most core indicators and the most urgent needs of the public, namely, foundational education, social insurances, medical and health services to analyze
