In the past four years, the total number of retired public servants nationwide with less than five years of service has increased year by year from 1,341 in 2011 to 1,652 in 2014. The proportion of retired public servants in the country ranged from 51.53% to 59.43%, both exceeding 50%. It is the largest group and has obviously become the group with the most serious losses.

If we look at the distribution of those who resigned from central and local government offices with less than 5 years of initial service, the central agencies are led by the "Taiwan High Court and its affiliated courts" with 419 people, followed by the "Ministry of Justice and its affiliates" with 386 people, and the "National Army Retired Officers and Soldiers Counseling Committee and its affiliates" ” 343 people, 264 people from the “Ministry of Transportation and its affiliates”, and 231 people from the “Ministry of the Interior and its affiliates”; a total of 3,323 people from local governments resigned, with 2,355 people from the municipal governments directly under the central government, which was higher than 968 people from the county and city governments. In other words, the number of people who resigned from the six cities accounted for 71%.

In addition, the Budget Center pointed out that the number of retired public servants has increased sharply in recent years. Among them, the number of public servants who have applied for voluntary retirement first and those who have chosen to receive monthly pensions have shown a gradual increase. In addition, the number of applicants for the national examination has probably been declining sharply in recent years, and under-enrollment has been frequent and is increasing year by year, especially in technical subjects. The reasons should be clarified, and staff assistance and counseling measures should be strengthened to cultivate high-quality public service manpower, create a friendly workplace, and thereby enhance the efficiency of government governance.
