Number of personnel engaged in research and development, 2000–2023
From 2000 to 2023, the number of people working in science has changed, and this data tracks the total number of personnel engaged in research and development. The table contains five rows: total personnel, researchers, technicians, and two additional categories. The rows are categorized by personnel type, showing the number of researchers and technicians working in science each year. Figures are provided in absolute numbers as an annual series covering the entire country, without regional or industry breakdowns

How to read this table
The row distinctions allow for the classification of all science sector employees into groups based on their functional duties. You can compare the proportion of researchers and technicians within the total workforce to understand the industry's employment structure for each of the twenty-four years presented. This illustrates the distribution of human resources between those conducting direct research and those providing technical support
