At the end of 2011, the French civil service employed 5.5 million people, including assisted contracts. Excluding assisted contracts, the total was 5.4 million.
The civil service employment, including assisted contracts, decreased by 0.5 % (on a constant scope basis) between 2010 and 2011 (meaning -29,100 people). Excluding assisted contracts, the decline was –0.4 % (-21,200), following the relative stability of the previous year.
In France’s civil service, the annual labour force remained unchanged compared to 2010 (5.2 million converted to full-time equivalents, including assisted contracts).
Over the year, employment fell in the central civil service (-2.0 % including assisted contracts, -2.4 % excluding assisted contracts). There was a drop of employment in the ministries (-3.1 % including assisted contracts) and a rise in the workforce of public administrative establishments (+2.9 % including assisted contracts, +1.2 % excluding assisted contracts). The transfers of a part of the Ministry for Higher education and scientific research personnel towards the universities, which are becoming increasingly autonomous, accounts for a part of this rise.
