A Study of Projected Supply/Demand Imbalances for Scientific and Technical Personnel

摘要

The report presents supply projection models of scientist and engineer personnel through a comprehensive and detailed view of supply system operations. The framework used has three main divisions: (1) new entrants, (2) experienced workers, and (3) foreign workers. Supply is projected to 1985 on a detailed occupational category basis and compared to projected demand. Shortages and surpluses are estimated as a proportion of supply level of education.
