| Abstract |
This paper provides estimates of the stocks and flows of human resources in science and technology (HRST) in India, and their breakdown by education and occupation. Furthermore, the paper provides estimates of the number of highly skilled people moving to India and out of India during the 1990s, mainly to the United States. This part of the study also includes a brief, critical overview of Indian concerns on policy matters pertaining to various forms of migration of highly skilled professionals.
Regarding the stocks of highly skilled people in India, the paper estimates that in 1991, between 13 and 16 million people in India could be classified as HRST because of their qualification, a number which had grown to approximately 25 million in 2000. When expressed as a percentage of the population aged 15-64, this meant an increase of more than one percentage point, from between 2.5% and 3% in 1991 to just over 4% in 2000. In 1991, 10.2 million people could be categorised as HRST because ...
Ressources humaines consacrées à la science et à la technologie en Inde et mobilité internationale des Indiens hautement qualifiés
Ce document fournit des estimations des effectifs et des flux de ressources humaines consacrées à la science et à la technologie (RHST) en Inde, et de leur répartition en fonction de la formation et de la profession. Il donne aussi une estimation des mouvements d’entrée et de sortie du pays des personnes à qualifications élevées dans les années 90, mouvements dirigés essentiellement vers les États-Unis. Cette partie de l’étude comprend également un bref panorama critique des préoccupations suscitées en Inde par l’action publique en rapport avec diverses formes de migration de professionnels hautement qualifiés.
D’après les estimations, l’Inde comptait en 1991 entre 13 et 16 millions de personnes pouvant être considérées comme des RHST du fait de leur qualification ; en 2000, ces effectifs atteignaient 25 millions de personnes environ. Exprimée en pourcentage de la population de 15 à 64 ans, cette variation correspond à une hausse d’un point, de 2.5 % à 3 % en 1991 à un peu plus de 4 ...
