Chapter 4 in Technology in Comecon, 1974, pp 77-108 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Comecon countries take pride in their solid base for carrying on scientific and technical research. According to a Comecon source based on UNESCO data, in 1965 these countries had 6·2m. scientists and engineers — which constituted 44 per cent of the world’s total (whilst Comecon’s share in the world’s population was only 10 per cent). For details, see Table 19, where for comparative purposes figures for Western Europe and the USA are also given. According to a Soviet source, in 1970 the USSR had 2·5m. engineering graduates compared with 0·9m. in the USA, and the number of graduating engineers in the same year was 257,000 in the USSR but only 50,000 in the USA.1
