The income gap between civil servants and personnel in public institutions has long been a hot issue of social concern.
As staff members of state organs, civil servants enjoy certain policy priorities, including welfare benefits such as transportation subsidies.
Although the personnel of public institutions are also engaged in public service work, they are often slightly inferior in terms of welfare benefits, which to a certain extent affects the enthusiasm of the employees of public institutions.
In March 2023, the Communist Party of China issued a notice document on the "Reform Plan for Party and State Institutions", which requires: The reform tasks at the ** level should be completed by the end of 2023, and the reform tasks at the local level should be completed by the end of 2024.
In September 2023, the State Administration of Management issued a notice document on the "Administrative Measures for Official Vehicles of Public Institutions Affiliated to State Organs (Trial)", which once again aroused the expectations of business personnel for the full implementation of the car subsidy policy.
01There is a huge gap between the income of career editors and civil servantsFor a long time, there has been a certain gap between the income and treatment of the staff of public institutions and civil servants in China. In the case of excluding the provident fund, the annual income gap is as little as 1-2w and as high as 3-5w. To a certain extent, this gap has affected the enthusiasm of the staff of public institutions, and has also made it difficult for public institutions to attract and retain qualified personnel. 02 There are huge differences in official transportation subsidies in different placesAt present, the implementation of policies in terms of official transportation subsidies is not uniform, and the subsidy standards vary greatly. In some areas, the transportation allowance for the staff of public institutions is approved and paid according to the standard for civil servants at the same level, while the personnel of public institutions in most areas do not have transportation subsidies.
The full implementation of the subsidy for public institutions will help eliminate such regional differences, realize the fairness and rationality of official transportation subsidies, and improve the work enthusiasm and satisfaction of the staff of public institutions. 03Continue to promote the reform of public institutions
The reform of public institutions is an important part of deepening the reform of the public service system.
The full implementation of the car subsidy system is a key link in the reform of public institutions, which will not only help optimize the allocation of human resources and improve work efficiency of public institutions, but also enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of public institutions and provide support for attracting and retaining more outstanding talents.
Through reform, a more fair, reasonable and transparent welfare system has been established, which will help promote the sustainable and healthy development of public institutions.
04Improve the public service systemThe public service system is an important part of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The full implementation of the subsidy for public institutions will help improve the welfare and enthusiasm of the staff of public institutions, and then improve the quality and efficiency of public services. Reducing the income gap between civil servants and public servants will also contribute to building a more equitable, efficient, and convenient public service system. 05 ChallengesThe full implementation of the vehicle subsidy policy of public institutions means that more funds need to be allocated in the financial budget to subsidize the official transportation expenses of public institution staff. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for places that are already under pressure to break even. Especially in the context of downward pressure on the economy and the slowdown in fiscal revenue growth, how to ensure that fiscal expenditure can meet the needs of the car subsidy policy has become a key issue in the implementation of the policy.
