Equalization Of Basic Public Services In Underdeveloped Areas:Measuring And Improving

As an important part of social construction,basic public service plays an important role in the development of people’s livelihood,the alleviation of social contradictions and the realization of sustainable development.As an important part of China’s regional development,underdeveloped areas have a special position in the process of socialist construction and modernization in China.Therefore,this paper attempts to measure the degree of equalization of basic public services in underdeveloped areas,and explores the influence of the three basic dimensions of financial system,supply environment and citizen’s appeal on the realization of equalization of basic public services according to the measurement results.On this basis,the corresponding improvement suggestions are put forward.The underdeveloped areas have the basic characteristics of low level of economic development,large gap between urban and rural areas,unreasonable industrial structure and insufficient human capital.These basic characteristics lead to the equalization of basic public services will face development challenges in the process of realization.The low level of economic development indicates that the lack of sufficient financial support for the supply of basic public services will lead to the phenomenon that the overall level of basic public service supply is not high and the total amount is insufficient;The gap between urban and rural areas and the unreasonable industrial structure will make the structure of financial expenditure unreasonable and lead to the imbalance of basic public service supply structure.Therefore,in order to achieve the goal of equalization of basic public services in underdeveloped areas,to achieve the coordination and coordination of multiple supply subjects,to effectively expand the supply of basic public services,to rationally allocate resources to achieve balanced development,and to construct a citizen-oriented mechanism,we need to improve and perfect the three basic dimensions of financial system,supply environment and citizen’s demand.Among them,the financial system plays a fundamental role in the process of realizing the equalization of basic public services.It can provide sufficient funds for the realization of equalization;the improvement and perfection of the supply environment helps to improve the supply level and is the key link to achieve equalization.The three basic dimensions are the realization of external guarantee for the equalization of basic public services in underdeveloped areas.At the same time,the realization of equalization of basic public services in underdeveloped areas is also promoting the continuous improvement and improvement of external conditions.In order to explore the influence of financial system,supply environment and citizen’s appeal on equalization,we first measured the degree of equalization of basic public services in 21 underdeveloped provinces.In the aspect of index system construction,we construct 6 secondary indexes including basic public education and 18 detailed tertiary indexes with the degree of equalization of basic public services as the total index.The results show that there is a big gap in the level of equalization of basic public services in the provinces of underdeveloped areas,and it also shows that the underdeveloped state of regional development can not indicate that the level of equalization of basic public services in the region is low.According to the measurement results and the range of equalization level in each province,21 provinces are divided into three regions.While analyzing the influence of three basic dimensions on the equalization of basic public services,we explore the significance of the influence on different regions.The regression results show that the three basic dimensions have a positive impact on the realization of equalization of basic public services,that is,the more optimized the financial system,the more perfect the supply environment,the clearer the expression of citizens’ demands,and the greater the promotion of equalization of basic public services.The influence of different systems on different regions is also different,for example,the regions with poor equalization level are more affected by the financial system.Finally,based on the measurement results of the equalization level of basic public services in underdeveloped areas and the regression results of different systems,the corresponding improvement suggestions are put forward under the guidance of various theories.First,we should optimize the financial system.Public finance is the material basis and guarantee for realizing equalization.It is necessary to strengthen the overall integration of financial funds when optimizing the financial system by means of taxation,income from state-owned operating assets,market financing and attracting the capital of shooting tigers.Second,it is necessary to improve the supply environment.To improve the total supply of basic public services,and give full play to the advantages of different supply subjects,so that the government-market-society forms a good relationship of complementary advantages,on the basis of which a new type of basic public service supply model is constructed.Give full play to their overall effectiveness.Third,build a good citizen appeal expression mechanism.Paying attention to citizen’s appeal is the key point in the process of realizing the equalization of basic public service,and it is an effective way to realize the equalization of basic public service in underdeveloped areas to join in the decision-making of basic public service supply.The citizen’s participation first needs to have the participation consciousness and the participation way,constructs the citizen participation feedback mechanism,understands the public satisfaction.At the same time,the right to participate should be guaranteed through rules and regulations.Through the improvement of the above three basic dimensions to ensure the equalization of basic public services in underdeveloped areas.
