Abstract

The management of government spending on employee compensation is crucial for small developing states (SDS), where such spending constitutes a large portion of government expenses. These states often face unique challenges, such as disproportionately high government employment levels and the issue of "brain drain"—the latter complicates staffing for skilled positions. This note summarizes the unique challenges these states face, underscoring the importance of tailored strategies for small states in managing government compensation and employment effectively.
