Survey on Perceptions of Social Fairness and Their Implications for Social Governance Innovation

社会公平感的调查及其对社会治理创新的启示（英文）

At the present stage,social fairness or equity is an important area of governance in China,and increasing the level of fairness is an important theme of work.In 2016,the Chinese government laid down specific arrangements and operations relating to equity in education,social security,market competition,etc.The participatory governance model entails testing policy outcomes in relation to the sense of fairness of the mass of the people.Our survey found that perceptions of fairness are higher among middle-and high-income groups and are lower in the eastern region than in the central and western regions.In social security,however,perceptions of fairness and of improvements in the level of fairness are lower than they are for education and market competition.Overall,specific policies relating to fairness in education have been quite effective in enhancing people＇s perceptions of fairness.Accordingly,if we are to make effective improvements in the fairness of social governance,we need a more rational distribution system that takes into account public opinion and expands the scope of fairness in social security.

社会公平是我国在现阶段的重要治理领域,提高社会公平是当下社会治理的重要主题。2016年,我国政府对教育、社会保障、市场竞争等领域的公平问题作出了具体部署与运行。参与式治理模式的思路需要以民众的公平感对这些政策的效果作出检视。通过调研发现,当前我国公众的公平感在中高收入人群中较高,且显现出东部低于中西部的特质。同时,社会保障领域的公平感和公平提升感低于教育、市场竞争领域。但总体而言,我国在教育等领域的具体政策对于提高民众公平感效果较好。据此,为提高我国社会公平治理效果,需要在吸收民意的基础上,尝试更合理的分配体系,并扩大社会保障领域的公平治理范围。
