Data Base on the Stock and Employment of Scientists and Engineers in Selected Countries

该项目将协助NSF汇编、标准化和分析选定国家（意大利、加拿大、瑞典、台湾和韩国）科学家和工程师的存量和就业的基线数据。在可能的情况下，将使用外国人口普查和劳动力数据，按详细的领域和选定的特征，如性别、年龄、教育资格以及经济和工业的分支，提供科学家和工程师的估计数。国家科学基金会在政府内主要负责收集和提供关于科技人员资源的统计数字和分析资料。美国国家科学基金会为四个工业大国-日本、西德德国、法国和英国-建立了这类信息的数据库（协议号SRS-8813944）。该项目将扩大该数据库，以包括关于其他重要工业化国家和新兴工业化国家的数据。公共和私营部门的决策者都在寻求这类信息，国会授权的报告（如科学和工程指标）也需要这类信息。

This project will assist NSF in compiling, standardizing and analyzing baseline data on the stock and employment of scientists and engineers for selected countries (Italy, Canada, Sweden, Taiwan, and South Korea). Foreign census and labor force data will be used to provide estimates of scientists and engineers wherever possible by detailed fields and selected characteristics such as sex, age, educational qualifications and branch of economy and industry. The National Science Foundation has primary responsibility within the Government for collecting and providing statistics and analysis of information on scientific and technical personnel resources. NSF has established a data base of such information for four large industrialized countries--Japan, West Germany, France, and the United Kingdom (agreement number SRS-8813944). This project would expand that data base to include data on additional important industrialized and newly industrializing countries. This type of information is sought by decisionmakers in the pubic and private sectors and is needed for Congressional- ly mandated reports such as Science and Engineering Indicators.
