Public welfare institutions are mainly divided into two categories, one is public welfare institutions and the other is public welfare institutions. Among them, public welfare institutions refer to public health, compulsory education and basic medical services, which provide basic public welfare services for the society and are not affected by the allocation of market resources.

All belong to public welfare institutions; Public welfare second-class institutions generally undertake higher education and some non-profit medical and health services. For example, universities are the representatives of public welfare second-class institutions.

First of all, the classification is different

1. Public welfare undertakes public welfare service functions such as basic medical care, education and scientific research, and should not and cannot be replaced by social services, nor can resources be allocated by the market. Public welfare institutions are basically fully funded institutions, except for township hospitals.

2. The second type of public welfare is a part of government funding to provide protection, and resources can also be allocated through the market, such as public hospitals. The first and second types of public welfare are specifically determined by local governments in combination with practical research.

Second, the scope of services is different.

1. Public welfare includes units or institutions that undertake basic public welfare services such as compulsory education, basic scientific research, public culture, public health and basic medical services at the grassroots level, and cannot or should not allocate resources by the market.

Such as ordinary colleges and universities and non-profit medical institutions.

Third, the operating restrictions are different.
