The combination of three bar graphs depicts the differences of education enrollment and the development of Science, as well as money investment in these two groups, developing and industrialized regions, in the years 1980 and 1990. Overall, it is apparent that longer duration of study, higher scientific job ratio and larger funding were described in term of industrialized countries.
Specifically, in 1980, students in developing nations received over 2 years of learning on average, which was just nearly as one fourth of the developed’s (an approximate 8 years). After 10 years, the pattern remained consistent but with higher results of over 3-year schooling in the former group and over 10-year program in the latter one. This trend is the same as the number of scientists and technicians, with only 10-20 per 1000 people in developing countries compared to 40-70 in developed nations in this decade. Regarding of the spending on Research and Development, the money spent by countries with on-going growth was remarkably less than the others in both years, which was just about 50 billion dollars in 1980 and even declined by half in 1990. In contrast, this figure of developed regions was many times fold higher, with a treble of the developing’s ($150 billion) in the first year and a sharp incline to $350 billion in the end of the period.
In essence, there had been a significant disparity in all fields while comparing developing countries to the industrialized ones. This data suggests that the overall landscape of this matter would not change dramatically unless there is an adjustment in the national funding for education and profession works.
