Abstract:

China's economy has moved from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development. In this process, equalization of basic public services is closely related to high-quality development, and it is bound to play a supporting role. By using qualitative and quantitative methods, and through empirical calculation of provincial data from 2007 to 2019 in China, this paper finds out that the overall level of basic public services has been improved thanks to years of attention and efforts of government. However, the differences persist, and are reflected in different regions and in some basic public service projects. This paper further analyzes the contradiction between the differentiation phenomenon and the concept of high quality development. Some important ways to optimize the equalization of basic public services in China are put forward to boost high-quality development.
