Highly qualified workers in science and technology (HRSTC) are active
stakeholders in the development of knowledge and technical innovation.
Across the EU, there has been dynamic growth in HRSTC employment in the
last five years. In 2006, 34 million tertiary educated persons were employed in
an S&T occupation, most of them as professionals. The highest share of
HRSTC is found in the education sector. The share of young HRSTC is
growing fastest in Cyprus and in Poland.
