Rural Social Complex and Rural Public Services—A Perspective of Rural Social Management Innovation

Abstract

The contradiction of increase in demand and shortage of supply of rural public service is highlighted, restricting the rural economic development and social progress. “Strong interference and weak autonomy” mode in the People’s Commune period provided rural residents with relatively equal public service of low level; “stronger intervention and weaker autonomy” mode in the “Village self-governance” period caused serious inadequacy of rural public service and inequality between the urban and rural; “Strong intervention and strong autonomy” mode in New Rural Construction period has accelerated the rural public service progress, but problems remain unsettled. So in the period of building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing China Dream, the rural social management mode should be innovated to improve the rural public service supply system, thus the conception of “Rural Social Complex” is proposed.
