The Research On Evaluation Index System Of Social Harmony

Per capita GDP of China exceeded 3000 US$ in 2008. History has shown that this sensitive and challenging stage is crucial for the middle-income countries to enter the rank of high-income countries. The construction of a harmonious society is a significant guarantee that our country can enter the rank of high-income countries successfully. So it's very important for us to build the evaluation index system of social harmony and make it better and better to provide effective statistical consultation and statistical supervision.This paper consisted of six chapters. The first chapter introduced the background and significance of the research, reviewed the literature as well as proposed the contents of this paper. The second chapter provided the theory foundation for the evaluation index system of social harmony. It firstly elaborated the concepts, characteristics and intentions of harmonious socialist society, then concluded the connotation of social harmony and suggested the principles to establish the index system based on the study on the relationship between economic and non-economic aspects of the social development. The third chapter built an evaluation index system of social harmony according to the relevant theories. The forth chapter discussed the comprehensive method to evaluate social harmony. The fifth chapter made an empirical analysis on the degree of different regions' social harmony. After collecting and processing data, it obtained the scores of social conflicts, buffering capacity and recovering capacity for different regions through factor analysis, then calculated the comprehensive evaluation value as well as analyzed the results. The sixth chapter summarized this paper and the situation of social harmony in different regions. It also addressed the limitations of the paper and provided an outlook for the topics related to harmony.There are three creative aspects in this paper: firstly, we used "degree of social harmony" to describe the non-economical harmony situation which is the most significant aspect of building the evaluation index system of harmonious society and a comparatively weak point on the current research; secondly, what we took into account when evaluating the degree of social harmony was not only whether the static situation was harmonious, but also whether the social harmony could be maintained in the long-term; thirdly, to integrate theory with practice, we conquered difficulties to collect mass of statistical data and made the empirical analysis on the degree of social harmony.
