Dang Guoying: Rural revitalization should respond to the three major problems of efficiency, equality and governance

Beijing, July 25 (Zhou Rui, Cao Nianrun) For how to promote rural revitalization, Dang Guoying, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and chief researcher of the Rural Public Service Research and Innovation Team, pointed out that rural revitalization should respond to the three major problems of efficiency, equality and governance.

Dang Guoying said this at the "New Era Party Building Leads to Empowering the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas and Zibo Practice" On-site Meeting" jointly organized this weekend by China Economic System Reform Magazine and others.

He believes that the relationship between agricultural operators who have reached a certain scale and the owners of contracting rights is the first efficiency problem. Dang Guoying said that to achieve economic efficiency, it is necessary to take the road of "moderate-scale operation + deepening of social division of labor + socialized services", that is, the establishment of contracting rights transactions, but this is a difficult point, involving the problem of family transfer, the development of small cities and the problem of agricultural product cycle.

Another major efficiency conundrum is the conundrum of public services. Dang Guoying introduced that through statistics and data mining, he found that the corresponding expenditure of urban communities and the corresponding expenditure of rural communities are similar, but rural public services are obviously poor in terms of population coverage and service quality, indicating that there are efficiency problems in rural public services.

The second conundrum is the equality conundrum. Dang Guoying pointed out that the issue of equality is first manifested in the question of whether peasants' incomes can be raised after public services and scale operations. The second is the issue of accessibility to basic public services, that is, how to make farmers actually enjoy public services. The third manifestation is the problem of social security and the environment, that is, whether the city can carry nostalgia.

He noted that developed countries had addressed the problem by giving farmers the right to free choice, including the right to land circulation, land transactions and, in rural development, to make the number of non-agricultural dwellers outnumber farmers.

In terms of governance, Dang Guoying stressed that social governance should integrate urban and rural areas. Judging from the current situation, by about 2040, there will be less than 20 million agricultural workers in the country, and there will be an average of several households in an administrative village.
