Abstract

In 2004, the OECD launched a collaborative project with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and Eurostat aimed at developing internationally comparable indicators on the labour market, career path and mobility of doctorate holders. This paper presents the third edition of the technical guidelines used in the framework of the Careers of Doctorate Holders (CDH) project. The technical guidelines are composed of: i) the methodological guidelines; ii) a core model questionnaire and instruction manual; and iii) the output tables used for reporting data at the international level and related definitions. This edition builds on the experience resulting from the two first large scale data collections, which were based on the previous editions of the technical guidelines released in 2007 and 2010. In addition to a number of basic adjustments, it proposes improvements in the wording of the survey questions as well as new ways to measure competencies and skills of doctorate holders both at the time of their advanced research degree completion and in their current employment. Suivi des carrières et de la mobilité des titulaires de doctorats : proposition de directives, questionnaire modèle et indicateurs – troisième édition Les ressources humaines ont un rôle déterminant pour la création, la commercialisation et la diffusion d’innovations. En particulier, les titulaires de doctorat sont à la fois ceux qui sont es plus qualifiés en terme de niveau d’éducation, mais aussi ceux qui ont été spécifiquement formés à la recherche. En 2004, l’OCDE a lancé un projet en collaboration avec l’Institut statistique de l’UNESCO et Eurostat ayant pour objectif de développer des indicateurs sur le marché du travail, les carrières et la mobilité des titulaires de doctorat comparables au plan international. Ce document de travail présente la troisième édition des lignes directrices utilisées dans le cadre du projet sur les Carrières des Titulaires de Doctorat (CTD). Les lignes directrices se composent : i) des directives méthodologiques ; ii) d’un questionnaire modèle et manuel d’instruction ; et iii) des tableaux de sortie utilisés pour recueillir les données au niveau international et des définitions qui y sont associées. Cette troisième édition résulte de l’expérience acquise au cours des deux premières collectes de données de grande échelle, lesquelles étaient fondées sur les premières éditions des lignes directrices datant de 2007 et 2010. En complément d’un certain nombre d’ajustements de base, elles proposent des améliorations dans la formulation des questions de l’enquête, ainsi que de nouvelles pistes de mesure des compétences des titulaires de doctorat au moment de l’attribution de leur doctorat et dans leur emploi. Le document dans sa présente forme est le résultat des discussions menées par le groupe des experts CDT, notamment ceux ayant participé en 2011-2012 au projet KNOWINNO financé par le 7e Programme Cadre de l’UE. Il est destiné à guider les pays qui souhaitent mener une enquête dédiée et produire des indicateurs comparables au plan international.
