How to read this table
The rows in the list allow for comparing Russia's position with the indicators of Austria, Belgium, and other states. Countries can be easily compared via horizontal rows, which show which sector predominates in the scientific activity of a given state. This helps to understand the focus of scientific infrastructure in different regions of the world, whether it be business, education, or government institutions
What is visible in these numbers
Indicators of the set: Total; Government sector; Business enterprise sector; Higher education sector; Private non-profit sector

Period and application
The data is current as of 2023 and reflects an international cross-section by science sectors. Information from this Rosstat section is useful for specialists in the sociology of science, economists, and government officials for analyzing global trends in human capital distribution
How it is calculated
Source caveats: 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).
