Abstract

Human resources are recognised as being key to the creation, commercialisation and diffusion of innovation. Among them, doctorate holders are not only the most qualified in terms of educational attainment, but also those who are specifically trained to conduct research. 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 Working Paper presents the second 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 second edition builds on the experience resulting from the first large scale data collection, which was based on the first edition of the technical guidelines released in 2007. In addition to a number of basic adjustments, it proposes new ways to measure post-doctoral positions and types of mobility, including international mobility. The current draft is the result of discussions among the members of the CDH expert group. Its aim is to provide guidance to countries that wish to implement the project at national level. Suivi des carrières et de la mobilité des titulaires de doctorats : proposition de directives, questionnaire modèle et indicateurs – deuxième édition – le projet OCDE / Institut statistique de l'UNESCO / EUROSTAT sur les carrières des titulaires de doctorats Les ressources humaines ont un rôle déterminant pour la création, la commercialisation et la diffusion d’innovations. Parmi cette population, les titulaires de doctorat ne sont pas seulement ceux les 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 seconde 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 seconde édition résulte de l’expérience acquise au cours de la première collecte de données de grande échelle, laquelle était fondée sur la première édition des lignes directrices datant de 2007. En complément d’un cerain nombre d’ajustements de base, elles proposent de nouvelles pistes de mesure des emplois « postdocs » et des types de mobilité. Le document dans sa présente forme est le résultat des discussions menées par le groupe des experts CDT. Il est destiné à guider les pays qui souhaitent implanter le projet au niveau national.
