The government will focus on the public good aspects of education and training-compulsory education and some aspects of higher education and training. The publication encourages seven reforms including raising government expenditure on education to four percent of gross domestic product (GDP), and ensuring that all children actually receive nine years of basic education. Improving and widening access to medical care, especially for the rural population. The target is to extend the cooperative medical scheme to 80 percent of the rural population from the current coverage rate of just over 20 percent. China has sufficient fiscal resources to afford the level and type of spending commensurate with a harmonious society. This reallocation of resources can be done only gradually. It must go hand in hand with a better specification of roles and functions of the various levels of China and stronger mechanisms for accountability, to ensure that poorer local governments use the resources given to them.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCESSIBILITYACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE BURDENADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITIESADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYADMINISTRATIVE REFORMSAFFORDABILITYAGRICULTURAL BANKAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT BANKAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL TAXAGRICULTURAL TAXESAPPROPRIATIONSASSET SALESAUDITINGAUTONOMYBASIC EDUCATIONBENEFICIARIESBIASESBLOCK GRANTSBONDSBORROWINGBUDGET CONSTRAINTSBUDGET REFORMBUDGETARY EXPENDITURESBUDGETARY REVENUESBUDGETINGCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCASH PAYMENTSCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENT SPENDINGCENTRAL TRANSFERSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOMPULSORY INVESTMENTSCONTINGENT LIABILITIESCREDIT COOPERATIVEDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDELIVERY OF SERVICESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISPOSABLE INCOMEDIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIESDOUBLE TAXATIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC SUCCESSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION PROGRAMENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUALIZATIONETHNIC MINORITIESEVALUATION CRITERIAEXPENDITURE ASSIGNMENTSEXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITIESEXPORTERSFACILITY MAINTENANCEFAMILIESFARMERFARMERSFINANCE MINISTRYFINANCESFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL DIFFICULTIESFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIESFINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITYFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SYSTEMSFISCAL BURDENFISCAL CAPACITIESFISCAL CAPACITYFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL POLICYFISCAL REFORMFISCAL REFORMSFISCAL RESOURCESFISCAL SYSTEMFISCAL TRANSFERSGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT FINANCINGGOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONGOVERNMENT SUBSIDYGRANT DESIGNHEALTH MINISTRYHEALTH SERVICESHOLDINGHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN SERVICESINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME LEVELINCOME TAXINCOME TAXESINDEBTEDNESSINEQUALITIES IN OPPORTUNITIESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINSTITUTIONAL BARRIERSINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINSTRUMENTINTERGOVERNMENTAL FINANCEINTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTLAND ADMINISTRATIONLAND ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMLAND MARKETLAND REFORMLAND USELEGAL RIGHTSLEVIESLEVYLIVING STANDARDLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL DEBTLOCAL FINANCELOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT BORROWINGLOCAL GOVERNMENT REVENUESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL PUBLIC FINANCELOCAL REVENUELOCAL TAXESLONG-TERM INVESTMENTSLOSS OF REVENUEMARKET REFORMSMIGRATIONMINISTRY OF FINANCEMUNICIPALITIESNATURAL RESOURCESNON-PERFORMING LOANSNPLOPERATING EXPENSESORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREPENSIONSPERSONAL INCOMEPERSONAL INCOME TAXPERSONAL INCOME TAXESPOLICE STATIONSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREFECTURESPRIVATE GOODSPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMSPROPERTY TAXPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTSPUBLICPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERYPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SERVICES IN RURAL AREASPUBLIC SPENDINGREGISTRATION SYSTEMRETURNRETURNSREVENUE ASSIGNMENTSREVENUE SHARINGREVENUE SOURCESROADSRURAL FINANCERURAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSRURAL FINANCIAL MARKETSRURAL URBAN MIGRATIONSAVINGSSCHOOL FACILITYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL WELFARESPECIAL ASSESSMENTSSTATE BONDSSTUDENT ASSISTANCESUB-NATIONAL FINANCESUBNATIONAL FINANCESUBNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSTAXTAX ASSIGNMENTSTAX LAWSTAX OBLIGATIONSTAX RATETAX RATESTAX REVENUESTAX SHARINGTAXATIONTERM CREDITTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTUNFUNDED MANDATESURBAN AREASURBAN INEQUALITIESURBAN INEQUALITYURBANIZATIONUSER CHARGESVALUATIONVILLAGEVILLAGESWELFARE SUPPORTWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6927-2
