What is the appropriate level of
employment in the public sector as a whole and for essential
workers like public administrators, teachers, and doctors?
Is the public sector wage bill affordable? Does the public
sector pay competitive wages compared to the private sector
to attract talent while not crowding out private sector
jobs? Does the public sector pay equal wages to workers in
similar jobs and with similar skills? Does the public sector
promote gender equality in employment? And are public sector
pay and employment practices contributing to higher public
sector productivity, better service delivery, and improved
governance? The Worldwide Bureaucracy Indicators (WWBI) were
developed in response to growing calls to provide more
empirical foundation to similar questions on the public
workforce. This report sets out to introduce the Indicators
estimated from microdata drawn from the labor force and
household welfare surveys and augmented with administrative
data for 202 economies covering the demographics of the
private and public sector workforces, relative wages and
premiums, and the public sector wage bill. The report
details the methodology used to construct the WWBI,
including a description of the data sources and estimations
used for the different indicators, presents the main
findings emerging from the dataset on core questions, and
presents potential policy and research applications of the dataset. |
