Since the reform and opening up in 1978, the gap of the basic public services level and the ability to supply them between urban and rural areas of Anhui province is growing. The gaps in basic education, public health, social security of Anhui province are:the uneven distribution of resources in urban and rural basic education, a big gap between school conditions; the imbalance between urban and rural medical and health resources and the use efficiency of them; the inconsistency of social security coverage and level between urban and rural areas. The gaps between some of the projects exceeded the average difference in the central region and even the national average gap.The non-equalization of basic public services in Anhui Province were caused by historical and practical facts. From the system level, firstly, urban-rural dual economic and social structure of division of basic public services has led to the gap between urban and rural areas; secondly, since the "tax sharing" reform in 1994, the pattern of "property up, powers down" has been formed, this arrangement will weaken the local government to provide basic services; At the same time, the current transfer payment system does not play a better role in equalization of basic public services. Especially in recent years, county and township primary government financial difficulties have led to the low level of basic public services in rural areas directly. From the mechanism level, there are many problems in the supply mechanism of basic public services in rural areas, such as a single main supply, the responsibility is unclear, the expression mechanisms of demand are inadequate, low supply efficiency.In order to promote the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas of Anhui Province, it is essential to break the urban-rural dual economic social structure, deepening a series of reforms, including the household registration system; to reform the current unreasonable financial system, especially the transfer payment should be given a more important role in the equalization including the clean-up of specifications special transfer payments, to speed up the process of transfer payments law, to strengthen supervision of the use of transfer payment funds. Finally, to explore actively, to innovative the mechanisms in the decision-making, financing and cost sharing for rural public service supply.
