The public sector employs roughly a third of the world's paid workforce. Their wages not only represent the income of a substantial portion of the population but also influence pay setting across the rest of the economy. However, global data on employment and compensation within the public sector, and how these compare to the private sector, has been limited to date. This paper describes a novel dataset produced by the World Bank's “Bureaucracy Lab” attempting to fill this gap. The “Worldwide Bureaucracy Indicators” (WWBI) are compiled from over 53 million unique observations and consist of 63,282 individual observations across 92 variables of the characteristics of public‐sector employment, compensation, and the overall wage bill for 132 countries between 2000 and 2018. The indicators, constructed from nationally representative household surveys, present a micro‐founded picture of public sector labor markets across the world.

引入全球官僚机构指标：有关公共部门就业和薪酬的新全球数据集

公共部门雇用了全球约三分之一的有薪劳动力。他们的工资不仅代表了很大一部分人口的收入，而且还影响了整个经济领域的薪资水平。但是，迄今为止，有关公共部门内就业和报酬的全球数据以及这些数据与私营部门的比较情况仍然有限。本文描述了由世界银行“官僚实验室”产生的新颖数据集，试图填补这一空白。“全球官僚机构指标”（WWBI）由超过5300万个独特的观察结果组成，包括63282个独立观察结果，涵盖92个变量的变量，这些变量涉及2000年至2018年之间132个国家/地区的公共部门就业，薪酬和总体工资支出。指标，
