2. It is conducive to the public's participation in the management and supervision of public services: With the continuous improvement of the level of informationization and people's living standards, the public's demand for public services is increasing, the quality requirements are getting higher and higher, and they are more and more sensitive to the differences between countries and places. They are no longer just satisfied with knowing how much money the government has spent on public services, but are more concerned about what effect these expenditures have achieved.
3. It is conducive to improving the overall allocation efficiency of public resources: the function of government resource allocation has not weakened, but is still strengthening. Although China's fiscal expenditure only accounted for 18.5% of GDP in 2005, China belongs to a "big government" country in terms of the resources and functions that the government can actually control.
4. It is conducive to improving the management ability and international competitiveness of the government: under the background of deepening economic globalization and integration, international competition, represented by multinational enterprises, has gradually evolved into all-round competition in markets, enterprises, governments and resources between countries. The government is no longer the backstage of international competition in the traditional sense, but directly stepped onto the front desk of international competition.
Our government has put forward the goal of equalization of basic public services, but the content of basic public services must be clearly defined at the operational level. From the reality of China, it can be defined by four criteria: basic, extensive, urgent and feasible. The so-called foundation refers to those public services that have an important impact on human development, and their lack will seriously affect human development.
The so-called extensiveness. Refers to the public service supply that affects every family and individual in the whole society. The so-called urgency refers to public services that involve the most direct, realistic and urgent interests of society. The so-called feasibility means that the provision of public services should be adapted to a certain level of economic development and public finance capacity.
Judging from the above standards, compulsory education, public health and basic medical care, basic social security and public employment services are the most concerned and urgent public services for urban and rural residents. They are the public services that must be provided to establish a social safety net and ensure the basic rights to subsistence and development of all members of society, and have become the main contents of basic public services in China at this stage.
