Abstract: In recent years, with the increase of government investment in people’s livelihood, the social policy system has witnessed marked improvement in the average level of welfare, project establishment and coverage. But due to the system constraint, there are still big welfare gaps between different groups and regions, which points to the inequitableness in China’s social policy. The inequitableness problem receives more and more serious social responses. Therefore, according to the 18th National Congress’s Report, one of the main tasks in China’s social policy should be increasing its equitableness. For this purpose, we should do theoretical analysis of equitableness issues in social policy, pay more attention to the ways to increase equitableness in social policy, reduce the institutional factors by more institutional reform, and make China’s social policy develop towards great equitableness, equality and efficiency.

Key words: social policy; equitableness; equality
