Abstract
The paper considers the first results of a project initiated in 2004 by the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in collaboration with the Statistics Department of the European Commission (Eurostat) and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics. The purpose of the study is to develop a system of internationally comparable indicators to assess the level of professional development and mobility of doctorate holders. The first selection of information was produced in 2005 by seven countries. These data reflected the demographic and educational structure of the contingent of doctorate holders, particularly their employment, the demand on the labor market.
