According to the latest report of the Department of Salaries and Social Insurance (Ministry of Home Affairs), in the past time, the issue of salary policy reform has been concerned and resolved. The lives of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and armed forces continue to improve.
However, the results to date have not yet achieved the set goals, such as the increasing number of salary and allowance beneficiaries. In addition, the total salary and allowance fund accounts for an increasing proportion of total budget expenditure, but the salary levels calculated according to the regime are still low.
