The forecast for Government Total R&D Personnel in France from 2024 to 2028 illustrates a steady decline, starting at 50.41 thousand FTEs in 2024 and decreasing to 50.09 thousand by 2028. This trend reflects a subtle yet consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.16% annually. Comparing this to previous years, where 2023 recorded a slightly higher figure, it's evident the pool of R&D personnel is diminishing.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes that could influence R&D funding and personnel allocation, technological advancements driving efficiency, and the impact of international competitiveness on maintaining or increasing R&D capacity.
