About This Statistic

Human resources in science and technology (HRST); fixed slice age: From 25 to 64 years [Y25-64]; category: Persons with tertiary education (ISCED) and/or employed in science and technology [HRST]; freq: Annual [A]; sex: Total [T]; unit: Percentage of population in the labour force [PC_ACT]

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2025 Eurostat slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
