Overview of equalization of public services
Realizing the equalization of public services is the goal pursued by modern government. From the end of 19 to the end of 1970s, in order to overcome the drawbacks of liberal capitalism, strengthen the monopoly position of the government in the public economy and promote the nationalization of important industries such as public utilities, western developed countries basically realized the equalization or homogenization of public services. Since 1980s, in order to further improve the level of public services, governments all over the world are actively exploring reform measures such as privatization of state-owned public enterprises and cooperation between government and enterprises. Over the past 100 years, countries have accumulated rich experience in realizing the equalization of public services and played an important role in promoting political civilization.

The starting time of the modernization process in Asia is different, and the degree of equalization of public services varies greatly among countries. After World War II, countries that achieved system reform and economic take-off ahead of schedule, such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries, used the experience of developed countries in Europe and America for reference to realize the equalization of public services, and kept the equalization of public services at a high level through effective institutional arrangements in public finance, basic education, public health, social security and public utilities. However, in most Asian countries, due to the governance concept, political system, social environment, economic base, population size and years of war and other factors, the government's public service ability is not strong, and the level of public service equalization is not high. Since 1980s, the movement of public management reform has swept the world. Among Asian countries, countries with a high degree of equalization of public services have seriously summed up the experience and lessons of realizing equalization of public services and continuously deepened the reform of public service system and public service model. Countries with a low degree of equalization of public services actively learn from the ideas and experiences of developed countries and explore ways and strategies to achieve equalization of public services that suit their own characteristics. In the process of exploring the equalization of public services, Asian countries are facing various problems and have accumulated their own experience.
