Summary/Abstract: Human Resources in Science and Technology (HRST) represent the main element of science-based economies. In the OECD countries, over 50% of intellectual and technical professions are practiced by women. Although it is true that international mobility seems pretty balanced between the OECD countries, however, it is unpleasant that several developing countries are faced with constant waves of native-born highly skilled workforce in ST immigrating to the OECD countries ("brain drain"). The European Union is attracting more and more experts in ST from third world countries.
