Size of the Public Sector: Government Wage Bill and Employment published by World Bank (2/2016)
“This dataset replaces an earlier dataset that covered the period 2000-2008. The dataset includes country-level data on the public sector (various definitions) wage bill, total expenditure, revenues and government employment for the period 2000 – 2013 subject to availability. In addition it includes data on population, GDP and PPP exchange rates. We have also included Information on Human Resource Management Information Systems (HRMIS) and Pay Roll systems extracted from the dataset on “PFM systems and e-services”. (You will find that in several cases the figures are different from those in the earlier dataset. This is because we have relied on the updated data sources.)…”
