This represents a year-on-year variation of 1.15% from 2022. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaged at 1.4%, indicating a steady but modest growth in research personnel.

The forecast five-year CAGR is suggested at 0.57%, implying slower growth compared to the past five years. Critical trends to monitor include the impact of economic shifts, governmental policies on R&D funding, and global collaborations, which may influence both the number and efficiency of researchers in the country.
