In China, the employment problem of higher education, social governance, and economic development is important. Exploring the employment mechanism and distribution of general colleges and universities can provide empirical evidence to the employment generating ability of colleges and universities and also suggestions for the development of…

PhD graduates play an important role in the national innovation system. However, only a few studies have explored Chinese PhD graduates' employment and development prospects because of limited data. To fill in this gap, this study conducted a survey of doctoral recipients in 13 Chinese universities. The authors drew on the national survey data and…

Contributions from and innovation in science and technology over many decades have resulted in dramatic improvements to American lives, including enhanced living standards and life expectancy, better access to information and connectivity across the globe, and increased access to and affordability of consumer goods. The analysis in this report is…

Calls to strengthen education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are underscored by employment trends and the importance of STEM innovation for the economy. The Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) has been tracking over 5,000 talented individuals longitudinally for 40 years, throwing light on critical questions…

In section two of a 2002 amendment on the Undergraduate Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Improvement Act, congress stated "A workforce that is highly trained in science...is crucial to generating the innovation that drives economic growth..." (Committee on Science, 2002). Given the growth in science,…

This report presents data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the United State's doctoral scientists and engineers. This population consists primarily of individuals living in the United States who hold science or engineering doctoral degrees from U.S. institutions. Current estimates of the supply and utilization of doctoral…

This document provides statistical data concerning the national human resources of scientists and engineers. It presents an integrated overview of current utilization and supply patterns for U.S. scientists and engineers in 1978, continues with a detailed examination of the status of doctoral scientists and engineers, and concludes with an…

Reports on four broad categories of employment: engineering; sciences, math and other technical; business; and other nontechnical. Only increases over 1974 by type of employer were in state and local governments and in non-profit and educational institutions (excluding teaching). (GS)

This report presents selected demographic and employment characteristics of recent bachelor's- and master's-degree recipients in science and engineering (S/E). The findings reported are based upon the results of a survey of the 1973-74 and 1974-75 graduating classes conducted in 1976. Surveys of new entrants to science and engineering constitute…

Cites data on engineering enrollment, graduation, and employment for years 1952 to 1979. States that attempts to predict future student numbers and employment from examination of this data provides little guidance in arriving at conclusions. (CS)

Describes possible effects of decreasing financial support for science education. Presents statistics on student enrollment in various science disciplines, predicts future science job market trends, and surveys the shrinking academic job market. (GS)

Presented are national statistics on the 1960-62 employment conditions of America's scientific and engineering manpower in relation to economic and social characteristics. The eight-page questionnaire used in the 1962 postcensal survey is concerned with the collection of data from individuals classified as scientists and engineers in the 1960…

This report presents information describing labor market conditions for scientists and engineers, focusing only on those scientists and engineers who hold scientific or engineering (S/E) jobs. The scope of this report consists of an analysis of trends in the seventies, an attempt to identify in a qualitative way some of the factors that underlie…
