People's livelihood and basic public services cover different areas, have different features and laws, and face different problems. This book analyses and studies the areas of public service and puts forward suggestions on reform.

Establishing and improving the public service system and promoting the equalization of basic public services are important ways to improve people's livelihood, as determined by the 12th Five-Year Plan. They are also of great significance to promote social harmony and sustainable development.

The country needs to steadily expand spending, widen coverage, equalize opportunities, shorten gaps and improve efficiency to improve people's livelihood. It must focus on the areas of employment, education, health care, social security and housing.
