GOVERNMENT HUMAN RESOURCES DEVOTED TO R&D

Government human resources devoted to R&D in 2011-12 decreased by 2%, or 282 person years of effort (PYE), from 2008-09. This decrease was due to combined decreases in PYE for Technicians (down 8% or 499 PYE) and Other staff (also down 8% or 202 PYE).

In contrast, Researchers showed an increase of 5% or 419 PYE from 2008-09. Researchers remained the highest contributing type of human resource in 2011-12, accounting for 52% of total effort devoted to R&D compared to 49% in 2008-09.
