President Jovenel Moïse announced last August 31 that "[...] have decided to withdraw 12,000 people from the State this year who are ready to retire from the 32,000 people who are at the age of retirement or at the end of their career [38.5% of the 83,000 persons working for the State] [...]"

The Head of State said that this process of retirement will begin this year with the departure of 12,000 civil servants, in order through the Office of Management and Human Resources (OMRH). "To fill the vacancies of these 12,000 departures of public servants, another 12,000 will be recruited by competition from January 2018."
