"This article presents a summary of annual Civil Service statistics for the year ending 30 September 2006, as published in July 2007. Previously produced by the Cabinet Office, responsibility for the collection and publication of these statistics is now with the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This transfer of responsibility was outlined in an 'In brief' article in the February 2007 edition of Economic & Labour Market Review. Quarterly Civil Service employment statistics are already published as part of the ONS Public Sector Employment First Release, and a work programme has been initiated to reconcile the annual and quarterly figures as much as possible. The annual Civil Service statistics provide a more detailed picture of characteristics of the Civil Service than do the quarterly figures."

"In view of global trends of increasing digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in workplaces, more knowledge is required by staff representatives to support their members when these trends impact their organizations and trigger the implementation of drastic organizational changes. In addition, as of 2020, digitalization and AI have experienced an impetus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to adapt to ever new working environments and methods for many staff. Those include extensive teleworking and enhanced learning and use of online tools for communication. Due to the economic impact of the current health crisis, many of FICSA's member organizations are experiencing reorganizations, or are faced with plans of reorganization, with the aim of cost saving through downsizing and creating leaner structures, as well as putting in place ever faster ways of information generation and emissions. These new ways of working also bear challenges in relation to the introduction of more precarious working conditions. Clearly staff, as well as organizations will need to adapt, but not to the detriment of the health and safety of staff. This report has been commissioned by FICSA and its member organizations to review and analyze the literature and key policy developments on the impact of digitalization at work and discuss its implications for international civil servants. The review of the evidence will also be used to develop guidance for staff representatives to enable them to support their members within this context."

"Portées par la diffusion d'une « grammaire paritaire », des politiques d'égalité professionnelle se sont récemment développées dans la fonction publique. À partir d'une enquête dans des services de Bercy, cet article met en évidence les opportunités sélectives de promotion offertes par le tournant élitiste de ces politiques : une petite minorité de femmes, homogènes socialement, souvent énarques, peut réussir à percer le plafond de verre, à condition de faire leurs preuves de leur dévouement à l'administration, au management public et d'accepter des postes chronophages ; dans le même temps, les réformes de l'État et la compétition renforcée pour les postes fragilisent les possibilités d'ascension professionnelle de femmes cadres dans les services déconcentrés, non énarques et issues de milieux sociaux moins favorisés."
