A Statistical Profile of Public Administration
Statistical analysis helps isolating a few significant aspects of Italian administration. First, the abundance of legislation, which is a consequence of the sectorial character of numerous Acts and of an important production of emergency measures. Second, Italian administration is "multi-organizational" because the increase and complexity of functions have led to fragmentation and differenciation of structures. The analysis of personnel data illustrates this evolution : it reveals an increase in numbers, a "southernization" and a feminization of personnel. Public finance are characterized by a continuous increase of resources and expenses. The extraordinary increase of the number of administrative court cases is also a striking characteristic of the last fifteen years.
