Indonesia's civil service grew rapidly between 1974 and 1994 although, relative to the labor force, it was still much smaller than the public employee corps of Western industrialized nations. The patterns of change in the civil service are compared to the developments in public employment in the Western nations described by Richard Rose in 1985. Similarities in the post-war development of Western "welfare states" and Indonesia's more recent experience are documented, especially the growth in size of the education and health ministries. The observed Indonesian patterns were in accord with stated policy goals, and the educational level of the civil service has increased dramatically. Unlike post-war Western nations, however, regional variation in civil service density has not decreased. While the timing of economic and bureaucratic growth in Indonesia and the West was quite different, enough similarities exist to make the comparison worthwhile.
