How to read this table
Comparing the scientific potential of different countries is facilitated by the structure of their research staff. The table rows allow for a comparison of Russia's indicators with other countries, while the columns show the primary sector of employment. For instance, one can observe the variation in the share of employees in non-profit organizations or the business sector across different countries
What is visible in these numbers
Indicators of the set: Total; Government sector; Business enterprise sector; Higher education sector; Private non-profit sector
There are 125 values in the table out of 125 possible, which is 100%, meaning the table is almost entirely filled

Period and application
2022 data are presented as a percentage distribution across key sectors. This information is useful for analyzing global trends in scientific development and assessing the specialization of national research systems. Rosstat data help identify which economic sectors in various countries provide the largest influx of scientific personnel
How it is calculated
Notes to the table: Or the nearest year for which data is available. For CIS countries (excluding Russia), the calculation is based on the number of physical persons (persons); for other countries, it is in full-time equivalent (person-years)
1) Или в ближайшем году, по которому имеются данные. По странам СНГ (кроме России) расчет произведен по численности физических лиц (человек), по остальным странам – в эквиваленте полной занятости (человеко-лет).
