Amid the hiring abyss that continues with the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the government has decided to select 16,000 national officials next year. The government explained that the scale was reduced slightly from this year and considered the impact of a sharp increase in the number of state officials after the launch of the new government. In particular, the number of primary and secondary teachers fell due to the decline in the school-age population.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security announced on day 1 that it has established a plan for the government to hire 16,140 national officials next year. By institution, the organization of the Armed Forces is joined by 8,345 people from central government departments, 113 people from constitutional institutions and 7,682 people. It is 125 less than the selection scale finalized this year. Taking into account the reduction in the government’s plan in the deliberation of the National Assembly, the final reduction in the size of the hiring is expected to increase next year. This year, the government’s plan was initially 18,815, but the final decision was 16,265.

In the central ministry there are 3,393 police and maritime police, 3,613 national and public teachers, and 1,339 public servants of life and security. Among them, the size of the replacement workforce (1,650) was the largest after the abolition of compulsory policing. 144 investigative personnel are also selected, such as drug crimes and scientific investigations, 488 patrol personnel in the district police box and police box to provide resident-oriented security services and 188 electronic probation supervisors and personnel of control. In the case of teachers, mainly kindergarten, special subjects and comparative teachers are recruited. While it was decided to select 1,214 special teachers, the number of teachers in elementary and secondary school subjects such as Korean, English and mathematics decreased the number of recruits next year by 229 from this year to reflect the decline in the population in school age.

The Ministry of Public Administrations and Security explained that the size of the contract was decided in view of the fact that some administrative demand has decreased due to the spread of the new crown and the school-age population has decreased steadily. So-yeon Jo, an organizational policy officer at the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, told the briefing that “there have been a lot of padding effects.” In fact, the number of government officials recruited per year from 5,000 to 7,000 between 2015 and 2017 has increased rapidly since the inauguration of President Moon Jae-in, who pledged to increase the number of civil servants by 174,000 in five years. From 12,379 in 2018, it increased to 17,616 in 2019, and then decreased again this year.

Although the size of the hiring of state officials has decreased from this year to the next, there are also voices of concern about the increase in civil servants who are responsible for the state guarantee of retirement age and pensions after retirement. Sejong University Professor of Public Administration Lee Chang-gil said, “With the expansion of the information system, there will be more and more parts that can reduce the size of the workforce,” he said. Professor Seong Tae-yoon from the Yonsei University Department of Economics also noted that “it is difficult for the hiring of civil servants to be used as a way to create jobs.
