Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This chapter explores which countries are best suited for comparison with South Africa in terms of patterns of R&D funding. It offers a bird’s-eye view of the socio-economic and R&D landscapes of three other countries and highlights the importance of researcher intensity in transitioning to a developed economy. Socioeconomic and STI indicators provide insights into how these areas may be related. The chapter raises questions about the movement of researchers between sectors and its impact on R&D intensity and economic development.
