Revolution in competitions: millions of new civil servants

Brazil needs millions of new civil servants and a revolution is coming in civil service exams

Any Brazilian who needs to use public services on a daily basis knows very well that Brazil needs more facilities, weapons and investments to serve its citizens.

But you have already heard many times that Brazil has too many civil servants. Does this argument have a real basis?

Now a new study by the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) shows that Brazil actually has fewer civil servants than advanced countries. And even less than other developing countries, like us.

Of Brazil’s 91 million workers, 11.3 million work in the federal, state and municipal public sector, in various forms of employment. This represents 12.4% of the total.

Are we comparing ourselves with countries that excel in public service, education, health, safety?

The great reference are the countries of Scandinavia. Like Norway, where civil servants represent 30.2% of workers.

But in the United States, where there is no public health service, the total number of servers is 13.5%, higher than in Brazil. And nearby, in Chile, the percentage is also the highest, 13.1%.

Studies like this are the basis for a major transformation that will inevitably take place in the Brazilian labor market. Our demand for public services is already huge and far from well met. But above all it will grow, with the aging of the population.

In recent years, Brazil has also reduced investment in public service and these vacancies will need to be filled urgently.

The trend for the next few years is not to return to the role of the minimal state. But a re-evaluation of the public sector. Also because it is a necessity in a scenario of so much unemployment and despondency.

How ideal would that be for Brazil? To reach only half the percentage of advanced countries like Norway, it would be 15% of the total number of Brazilian workers, i.e. it would rise by 2.6%, to 13.5 million servers. Over 2.2 million new jobs!

And it’s still not much, as I explain in this video. But from now on civil servants will have to face other types of contracts, and they will be requested in other ways. Find out more about this great transformation, an opportunity for young people starting their careers and also for many experienced professionals who face difficulties in the job market.
