The INDEC report confirms the current government’s policy of massive reductions in the public sector, highlighting a significant decline in the number of official positions. This structural trend reflects the government’s commitment to shrinking the size of the state, prioritizing fiscal adjustment over traditional public employment. This case is relevant to open data because it demonstrates the value of official statistical indices in validating economic policies. Public access to detailed and disaggregated information enables civil society to independently verify the impacts of reforms, ensuring transparency and facilitating critical analysis of institutional performance. The availability of these historical and up-to-date data in accessible formats empowers researchers and citizens. By being able to compare employment figures across different administrative areas, it fosters evidence-based accountability, which is essential for democratic governance and the objective evaluation of state measures.
