We pay attention to the efficiency of funds and reveal the problems of ineffective and inefficient use of funds, such as precipitation, idleness, unpaid payables and over-guarantee. We also pay attention to the sustainability of policies, reveal the blocking points, difficulties and breakpoints in institutional mechanisms and policy implementation, promote the filling of shortcomings in social security, and make the fruits of reform and development more fair and benefit all people.
