These statistics have a specific section with all the information available: Economically Active Population Survey (EPA).

Methodological note

The indicator measures human resources in science and technology (HRST) as a share of the active population in the age group 25-64. HRST encompasses people who have successfully completed tertiary education or who are employed in science and technology occupations where such education level is normally required. HRST are measured mainly using the concepts and definitions laid down in the Canberra Manual.

Eurostat removed the indicator in 2021 and Catalonia removed it in 2022.
