The current public goods supply pattern in China is mainlyadministrative monocentric, which could not accommodate the various changesin the period of economic transition. With the rapid development of rural areas,the demand of public goods by farmers and herdsmen is on the great increase. Inface of the demand-supply contradiction, it is necessary to come up with newpolicies to cope with the situation in the public goods supply in the agriculturaland pastoral areas. By applying the method of systematic analysis, this thesistakes the supply of basic public goods such as education, healthcare, and socialinsurance in the agricultural and pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia AutonomousRegion in recent years as subject matters under study to analyze thesupply-demand situation and problems existing in this field.
