The future labour market for R&D manpower in the Netherlands
Article Abstract:
The absence of any key policy developments for the period 1990-2010 indicates a high probability of having a shortage of interested workers in the R&D market. This prediction can be prevented by improving the job market prospects for potential R&D workers and by enhancing promotion of R&D related sciences in student programs. Since the projected labor market shortage is substantial, a combination of both policies is optimal for long-term conditions.
