and development and human resources in sciences and
technology and the trends toward new technology fields (biotechnology, nanotechnology and environmental
technologies) has not shown the same level of growth as in other countries, where investment in R&D is growing at the
same pace as GDP. The intensity of Finland Sweden, Japan, and United States, in terms of expenditure for researchers
and R&D is above the OECD average in the business sector as can be seen in Table 5 (Researchers per thousand total
employed, 2005).
The average ratio of R&D personnel of OECD countries is 14 / 1000 persons. In Mexico, this ratio is less than 5 R&D
personnel for every 1000 employees that contribute to R&D activities.
