Abstract
Since the pharmaceutical industry is a research oriented sector, the research and development capability based on the qualified R&D manpower is one of the key success factors to strengthen the national competitiveness. Securing the appropriate number of researcher needed for the research activities in these fields is an important precondition for a government policy that aims for a strongly knowledge-intensive the pharmaceutical industry growth. In this study, we conducted and analyzed a delphi survey of the experts(the principal investigators) with expertise in these pharmaceutical research areas. The current and future requirements for the pharmaceutical science research personnel including medical doctors have been evaluated, extending the year 2017. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; First, in 2007 the field of pharmaceutical R&D personnel is currently under-supplied as many as about 5,600 people. The rate of under-supplied is about 18.1%. Second, in 2017 the evaluation shows that the R&D personnel in this field will be more severely under-supplied as many as 13,500 people. The rate of under-supplied will be about 28.6%. As a result, the confrontation of demand and supply evaluation shows that, in general, severe shortages of R&D manpower in the field of pharmaceutical will result if there are not adequate manpower policy adjustment.
