In the public service world, the number of male public servants who used parental leave has more than doubled in five years, while the number of female public servants has decreased.
On the 30th, the Ministry of Personnel Management and Innovation released the results of the 2023 Civil Service Survey containing the following information.
The civil service survey is conducted every five years to determine overall personnel-related matters, including the average age of civil servants, years of service, and job satisfaction.
Of the total 1,221,746 civil servants, 950,610 (response rate 85.2%) participated in the survey, and the survey baseline date was August of last year.
As a result of the survey, among public officials (186,399 people) with children in the first or second grades of elementary school, the proportion who had experience using parental leave was 51.6% (96,221 people), an increase of 6.1 percentage points (p) compared to five years ago.
By gender, 32.8% (35,160 people) of men responded that they had used parental leave, which is a number that has more than doubled in five years. In the 2018 survey, the ratio was only 13.9% (17,921 people).
Among women, 77.1% (61,061 people) responded that they had experienced childcare leave, a 10% point decrease from the previous survey.
In particular, the usage rate among female educational civil servants decreased by 25.7 percentage points from 87.1% to 61.4%, which was influenced by the fact that the child care time system implemented in July 2018 made it possible to leave work two hours early.
In addition, it is interpreted that the increase in working from home and men’s parental leave due to the coronavirus outbreak has led to a decrease in the proportion of female educational civil servants using parental leave.
The average age of civil servants was 42.2 years old, 0.8 years younger than 43.0 years ago five years ago.
The average number of years of employment was 14.2 years, a decrease of 2 years compared to the previous survey. This is interpreted as an increase in the proportion of civil servants in their 20s and 30s and a decrease in the proportion of civil servants in their 40s and older.
As of last year, it took an average of 23.6 years for newly appointed level 9 government officials to become administrative officers among level 5 officials. Compared to 5 years ago, it decreased by 0.8 years.
In terms of satisfaction with public life, 41.5% responded that they felt it was rewarding, and 21.3% said that they did not find it rewarding.
The occupation with the highest level of satisfaction with public life was firefighters, with 64.3% responding that they found it rewarding, and the occupation with the highest proportion of respondents saying they did not find it rewarding was ‘general occupation’ (23.6%).
When asked about their intention to change jobs, 34.3% of respondents said they were considering changing jobs, and among the reasons for concern, ‘low salary level’ was the most common at 51.2%.
In addition, the number of public servants who left work on time was found to be approximately 22.7%, and 31.2% of respondents were found to work overtime of more than 2 hours a day.
The number of public servants who could not use less than half of their annual leave was 42.7%, a 14.1% point decrease compared to five years ago, showing improvement.
