The number of self-employed persons in scientific R&D in Canada is projected to remain constant at 2.0 thousand individuals each year from 2024 to 2028. No year-on-year variation or compound annual growth rate is observed as the number of self-employed individuals stays unchanged each year beyond 2023.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements that may lower entry barriers for self-employment in this sector, and policy changes that could influence funding and support for self-employed scientists. Additionally, shifts in global research demands and collaboration opportunities may impact the dynamics of self-employment in scientific R&D.
