The Impact Of Urbanization On Public Finance-Supported Staff Size

Public finance-supported staff is an important cornerstone for the government to perform its functions and provide public services to the society.As for the size of the finance-supported staff in China,lots of voices have been speculating and questioning that it is "huge and bloated".And advance into a well-off society in an all-round way in China,the urbanization development speed is unprecedented,more and more people migrate from rural to urban,the aggregation of population has brought more of the public service gap,which in turn requires more finance-supported staff to provide services to meet the social demand for public goods,facilities and services.Under such contradictory background,this paper sorted out and studied relevant literature,analyzed and sorted out the development law of urbanization and public finance-supported staff,and defined the concept of finance-supported staff in three way’s,analyzed their respective characteristics and regularity,statistical and calculate the size of the staff,from ’people-officer ratio’ and financial support rate measures the financial burden of support,through the horizontal and vertical contrast to China’s public financed-supported staff scale have the basic judgment;Statistics are made on the development trend of urbanization,and it is observed that it may have a positive impact on the public financed-supported staff.Based on these research bases,relevant research hypotheses are proposed,and an empirical model is further established.In the empirical model,the finance-supported staff were selected as the explained variable and urbanization as the core explanatory variable.Multiple regression was conducted based on the panel data of 31 provinces from 2009 to 2019.The regression results showed that all of urbanization rate,GDP and industrial structure development had a positive effect on the number of finance-supported staff.Financial income and education level have a reverse effect on the number of finance-supported staff;Fixed asset investment and endowment insurance expenditure have no significant effect on the finance-supported staff number.Combined with the characteristics of finance-supported staff and urbanization,as well as the empirical regression analysis results,the research conclusions of this paper are as follows:First,urbanization development has been significantly improved,but there are large regional differences;Second,the number of finance-supported staff increases slowly,but there are big regional differences.Third,the development of urbanization has a positive role in promoting the finance-supported staff.According to these conclusions,some suggestions are put forward:First,actively promote the urbanization development of western and non-coastal areas;Second,further adjust the industrial layout,optimize regional fiscal and educational policies;Third,accelerate the high-quality transformation and development of urbanization and effectively improve the efficiency of administrative management.
