The department level belongs to the leading cadres at the fifth administrative level, which are high-ranking and heavy-weighted, and the department level is mainly concentrated in the functional departments of the provinces in the local administrative region, and belongs to the backbone of the local leadership. The number of department-level leadership positions in each province is determined by the number of department-level units in the province where they are located. Therefore, the number of cadres at the department level in a province is not fixed, but varies according to factors such as geographical conditions, institutional settings, and the number of leadership positions.
Although there are differences in the economy and population of each province, the framework of each province is basically fixed. We can make a rough estimate of how many department-level bigwigs are in a province according to the best channels of department-level cadres. As mentioned earlier, local leaders at the department level are mainly concentrated in provinces, and prefecture-level cities have only four sets of principal leaders, and counties and districts have none. Therefore, the provincial organs are the most important cadres at the department level, and they are also the leaders at the department level who enjoy the highest real power and status.
These mainly include the provincial party committee and the provincial ** work functional departments and their directly affiliated institutions. For example, there will be 2-3 deputy secretaries of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, executive deputy positions such as the Provincial Organization Department, Propaganda Department, ** Department, and Political and Legal Committee, and the director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, the director of the compilation office, the director of the performance supervision office, the director of the political research office, the director of the Internet Information Office, the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau, and the head of the inspection team of the provincial party committee, with a total of about 22-25 people.
Next is the main position of the provincial ** work functional departments and directly subordinate units, and their levels are also departmental leaders. The provincial functional departments include various departments and bureaus, and the directly subordinate departments include the provincial general office, the provincial research office, the counselor's office, etc. Assuming that there are 30 functional departments and bureaus in the province, the number of leaders at the department level should be between 35-38.
In the next is the Provincial People's Congress and the Provincial Political Consultative Conference of the relevant department-level work organs, although the Provincial People's Congress, the Provincial CPPCC department-level leading cadres, in terms of real power and status are not as good as the provincial party committee and the provincial leadership of the department-level leadership. But these two mouths are also an important ** for the provincial department-level cadres. The internal organs of the Provincial People's Congress are generally between 12 and 15, and the provincial CPPCC organs are roughly the same, plus the deputy secretary-general of the department at the director level, the total number should be around 30.
In addition to the above four sets of provincial-level leading bodies, there will also be some mass organizations and democratic party organs in various provinces, and their principal responsible persons are often cadres at the department and department level. At present, the total number of ** ministerial-level mass organizations approved by the state is 22, and although there will be a reduction at the provincial level, the total number should still be between 15-17. In addition, there will also be some cadres at the department level in the departments of the organs of the democratic parties.
Then there are leading cadres at the prefectural and municipal levels, and the leaders at the department level of a prefecture-level city generally only have the leaders of the four sets of teams, namely the municipal party committee, the municipal government, the CPPCC, and the municipal people's congress, are leaders at the department level. If a province has jurisdiction over 10 localities and cities, the number of leaders at the municipal level should be about 40. The above are the leaders of the administrative units. In addition, there are also provincial institutions, provincial enterprises and vertical management units, which are also a major number of department-level cadres.
For example, vertical management units such as the provincial People's Bank of China, the provincial taxation bureau, the provincial banking and insurance regulatory bureau, the provincial meteorological bureau, the provincial bureau of statistics, the provincial investigation team, the provincial commissions of various ministries and commissions in the provincial commission, the main position of the office is generally the department level leaders. The general managers of tobacco enterprises in various provinces, the presidents of major colleges and universities, and the secretaries of party committees are also all at the department level. Based on the number of department posts in each of the above mouths, the number of department-level cadres in a province should be about 200-250.
It is important to note that this number is only an approximate estimate, and the actual number may vary. Because the situation of each province is different, some provinces have more institutions and a relatively large number of leadership positionsIn some provinces, there are relatively few. In addition, there are some other factors that will also have an impact on the number of cadres at the department level, such as the exchange and transfer of cadres.
