Expert: use big data for dynamic monitoring and adjustment
Speaking of how to promote fairness, fairness, openness, and transparency in the inclusion of Dibao, experts said that big data and third-party assessments can be used for dynamic monitoring and adjustment.
Han Keqing pointed out that the subsistence allowance system is under the responsibility of the Department of Social Assistance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It has formed a well-organized management system with a four-level administrative structure of "central-provincial-prefecture-city-district/county" as the main body, and established a low-income family identification guidance center, etc. mechanism.
The above-mentioned systems and institutions extend down to urban and rural communities, where community directors or full-time staff conduct regular or irregular household surveys to dynamically adjust subsistence allowances.
In addition, third-party evaluation is also an important basis for the Dibao review and target adjustment.
Zhang Zhixin suggested that through scientific and technological means, strengthen the dynamic monitoring of the big data (income, property status, consumption data) of the subsistence households, and the regulatory authorities, public opinion, and news media form an appropriate regulatory pattern.
