地方公務員の多様な働き方議論　総務省、１７日に検討会立ち上げ

　総務省は、地方公務員の給与や働き方などを幅広く議論する検討会を新たに立ち上げる。人口減少やデジタル化の進展といった社会情勢の変化を踏まえ、新たな時代に適した地方公務員制度の在り方を検討する。１７日に初会合を開催し、今後２～３カ月に１回程度の頻度で議論していき、２０２５年度末をめどに取りまとめる方針だ。（2023/10/16-03:57）

Japan's internal affairs ministry will launch a panel to mainly discuss the salaries and work styles of local government employees amid changing social conditions including the declining population and progress in digitalization.
   The team will hold its first meeting Tuesday, have discussions every two to three months and release a report around March 2026 at the earliest.
   It will have 18 members, including academic experts in labor economics and public administration as well as labor union and economic organization representatives.
   In light of the purpose and history of the current local civil servant system, the panel members are expected to exchange opinions about salary and personnel management systems and work styles.
   The local public service law stipulates that local governments determine the salaries and working conditions of their employees by taking into account those of workers at the central government and other local governments.
