Resumen
Descripción
This part of the public sector pay
reform policy note represents a summary of main messages and
findings of the report. The report also provides the summary
of simulations for various policy scenarios; it is not
imperative that quantitative parameters of policy actions
(for example, base pay levels, etc.) should be exactly the
same as in the policy note, actual numbers may change
depending on available fiscal space by the time when final
decision is taken vis-a-vis pay increase. Summary of
recommendations is provided in annex two; by the time when
the report was ready for publication, the Government already
took actions to address immediate objectives of the pay
reform agenda in public sector; it issued a decree to
increase pay levels for civil servants, education and health
sector workers as well as other social sector workers. In
general, the decree was consistent with overall immediate
objectives of pay reform in public service. Public sector
wage reform is a key aspect of the reform agenda in
Tajikistan. The strong erosion of real wages, as a
consequence of the civil war and the collapse of the economy
in the 1990s, and very limited employment opportunities in
the country combined with increasing opportunities for labor
migration, as a consequence of growing economies in
Kazakhstan and Russia, have led to a large outflow of
qualified personnel in the public service. At the same time,
these sectors are crucial to the achievement of Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and for ensuring sustainable
growth. The public sector continued to provide a quarter of
employment (25 percent) over the last seven years. Job
creation in the economy was very marginal. It is very likely
that the public sector will continue be one of the major
employers in the local labor market in medium term. The
policy note focuses on civil service, education, health,
social protection, science, culture, and sport, sectors with
a very uneven reform background and different starting
points. The policy note attaches special emphasis on state
of play in these sectors and explores options that could
encompass policy decisions of the authorities in a three- to
five-year timeframe.
