Overview of Workforce Reduction Under Javier Milei<\/h2>\n

Since assuming office in December 2023, Argentine President Javier Milei<\/strong> has implemented significant workforce reductions within the National Public Administration<\/strong> and state-owned enterprises, resulting in a 17% decrease<\/strong> in registered employees. According to economist Nadin Arga\u00f1araz<\/strong>, this downsizing has been one of the most critical developments in the management of state human resources during his tenure.<\/p>\n

Statistics Behind the Reduction<\/h3>\n

As of October 2025, the number of employees had dropped to 282,570<\/strong>, down from the 341,473<\/strong> registered at the start of Milei\u2019s administration. This represents a loss of 58,903 positions<\/strong>, as outlined in reports from INDEC. Arga\u00f1araz noted that the reductions occurred consistently, with a monthly decline observed throughout the period.<\/p>\n
