In 2025, Russia will begin optimizing territorial divisions of government agencies.
As part of the reform, it is planned to cut about 400 thousand civil servants.
The goal of the reform is to increase the efficiency of the civil service through digitalization and redistribution of responsibilities, Kommersant writes.
The reduction in staff will contribute to improving the quality of work and increasing the salaries of the remaining employees.
The government is confident that the development of information technology will allow the number of civil servants to be reduced in the future.
Only highly qualified specialists will be left in place.
In addition, the government admits that the cuts could be more significant.
Reducing the number of civil servants will allow us to attract qualified young specialists with competent salaries.
As a result of the reform, an effective and professional government apparatus will be created.
