Abstract
Realizing the equalization of basic public services is of great significance for promoting social harmony and narrowing the regional development gap. Since 2006, China has officially proposed "equalization of basic public services" Since then, the gap of basic public service level between the eastern and western regions of China has narrowed year by year, but inequality still exists. Transfer payment system is the most important policy tool to realize the equalization of basic public services in China. This paper uses the variation coefficient method to analyze the internal reason for the narrowing of the gap, that is, the impact of China's transfer payment system on the equalization of basic public services. On this basis, in view of China's national conditions and foreign successful experiences, this paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to improve the transfer payment system and promote the equalization of basic public services from the aspects of establishing a sound legal system, normalizing the direct fund management mechanism, and clarifying the division of routine powers and responsibilities.
Highlights
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the goal of "basically realizing the equalization of basic public services by 2035"
It is found that from 2007 to 2018, China's transfer payment system has always had a positive impact on the equalization of basic public services, and the positive impact on the western region is greater than that in the eastern region
The equalization function played by transfer payment tends to be stable in recent years, and there is no obvious improvement, which requires further reform and innovation of transfer payment system, improving the performance level of transfer payment and enhancing its ability to promote equalization of basic public services
Summary
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the goal of "basically realizing the equalization of basic public services by 2035". Due to the uneven distribution of regional resources, the difference of economic development level and the defects of China's transfer payment system, the inequality of basic public services still exists in China. The implementation of transfer payment system can improve the financial imbalance between central and local governments and between local governments, further promoting the realization of equalization of basic public services. This paper selects the eastern and western regions of China, based on the relevant data from 2007 to 2018, analyzes the influence of transfer payment system on the equalization of basic public services by using the variation coefficient method. In view of the existing problems in China's transfer payment to promote the equalization of basic public services, combined with the successful experiences of foreign developed countries, this paper puts forward reasonable countermeasures and suggestions, in order to further improve the transfer payment system and promote the equalization of basic public services in China
