Περιγραφή:Using clustering techniques, an indicator defined by Eurostat is adjusted to the country to identify knowledge-intensive activities (KIA). Its application shows the meager penetration in the economic structure given its participation in production (39.2%), as well as in the labor market (30.7%). The two activities that contribute the most to production do not qualify as KIA, nor does the one related to “high technology” and responsible for the main export product. By excluding the branches of Education and Health, the contribution to production is reduced to 27.9%. The low weight of KIAs linked to Science and Technology in employment (18%) and in production (8.3%) hinders the aspirations of competing globally as a knowledge society based on innovation. The KIA are accentuated in the service sector (38.3%); its participation in Manufacturing is minimal (6.3%) and null for the agricultural sector.
