After all, the principles of the civil service of these countries were taken as a basis for the reform of the civil service of Ukraine. It was established that during this period the population in Great Britain increased by 3 million 846 thousand people, in Germany by 2 million 124 thousand people, and in Ukraine, on the contrary, it decreased by 3 million 792 thousand people. Accordingly, the number of civil servants in Ukraine decreased by 104618 people, in Great Britain it increased by 73,677 people, and in Germany it increased by 247720 people.

At the same time, the average monthly salary of a civil servant in Great Britain in 2022 was UAH 114160, in Germany -UAH 180006, and in Ukraine -UAH 22744. Accordingly, the cost of a working hour for a 40-hour working week in Great Britain is UAH 713, in Germany -UAH 1125, and in Ukraine -UAH 142.Using the Musgrave formula, the optimal number of civil servants in Ukraine was calculated, which as of 2022 was 69515 people.
