Title:: Deepening Social Security Reform in China: Fiscal Power, Institutional Construction, Service Quality and Balance between Power and Right

Abstract:: During the transformation period, public institutions in China, especially those in rural areas, are gradually converted from public welfare organizations into comprehensive ones due to changes in internal and external environments. They are faced with major reforms in their personnel systems and functions, corresponding to their social security reform. According to the Regulation on the Personnel Management of Public Institutions, the social security reform should take the equalization of basic public services as its principle, and deepen itself by restricting fiscal power, improving related systems and services, and holding dialogues for a more balanced relationship between power and right. Only after readjusting and redistributing interests of all parties is it likely for public institutions to fulfill their social security functions.
