Ageing work force – how old are Europe's human resources in science and technology?
- Share to:
Scientists and engineers, S&E, are often seen as a key group in the process of creating scientific knowledge and putting in place innovation. In 2004, more than 9 million, or around 4 % of the economically active population in the EU, were employed in occupations that make them eligible as S&E.
In Table 1 the age distribution of S&E is broken down into the same age groups used in Figure 2. A bit less than one third of the EU's S&E are found in either the age group 25-34 (29.2 %) or in the age group 35-44 (30.5 %). A bit more than one third (35.5 %) is found in the age bracket 45-64. 4.8 % of EU's S&E are either below 25 or above 64, gathered in the table under the heading "Other".
