List of countries by public sector

This is a list of countries by public sector or the share of public sector employees of total employment. Information is based mainly on data from OECD[1][2][3] and ILO.[4] If a source has figures for more than one year, only the most recent figure is used (with notes for exceptional circumstances).

In the former Eastern Bloc countries, the public sector in 1989 accounted for between 70% to over 90% of total employment.[5] In China a full 100% of employees were employed in the public sector by 1978, the year the Chinese economic reform was launched, after which the rates dropped to 56.4% in 1995, and to 32.8% in 2003.[6]

In the OECD-countries, the average public sector employment rate was 21.3% in 2013.[1]
