Abstract
- This study decomposes changes in science and engineering employment into their growth and technological change components, using an input-output approach. The analysis is based on highly disaggregated industry-occupation employment data and reveals that approximately 30 per cent of the change in total science and engineering employment can be attributed to technological change. This contrasts with the 54 per cent figure found in earlier research. The difference in these findings is due to the highly aggregated data employed in the earlier research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
