About This Statistic
R&D personnel by sector; fixed slice freq: Annual [A]; prof_pos: Total [TOTAL]; sectperf: All sectors [TOTAL]; sex: Total [T]; unit: Percentage of population in the labour force - numerator in full-time equivalent (FTE) [PC_ACT_FTE]
MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2024 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.
