An Analysis of the Structure of R&D Human Resources in the Japanese Manufacturing Industry

本研究は日本の製造業における研究開発人材の供給構造の変化について分析したものである。特に文部科学省の『学校基本調査』を中心に各種の高等教育機関の理工系卒業者のうち製造業への就職者数を再集計し、製造業における研究開発人材に関するインプットデータベースを再構築した。またそれを用いて研究開発人材の変化や製造業離れの要因などを考察した。さらに新規研究開発人材数と製造品出荷額との相関関係についても分析した。これらの定量分析を通じて、製造業への新規研究開発人材は構造的に変化したことや、日本の製造業の発展においては重要な役割を果たしたことなどが明らかになった。In this paper, the above topic is discussed based on statistical data obtained from the School Basic Survey, published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology．The number of science and engineering graduates from various institutions of higher education who have been employed in the manufacturing industry was recounted and a database on R & D（Research and Development）human resources input to the manufacturing industry was reconstructed. This research analyzes changes in the structure of R & D human resources in the manufacturing industry and factors that cause people to leave the industry. In addition, the correlation between R & D human resources input to the manufacturing industry and the value of manufactured goods shipments was analyzed. As a result of these analyses, it was determined that the structure of R & D human resources in Japan has undergone structural changes, and these have played important roles in the development of the Japanese manufacturing industry.論文 / Article
