Abstract
The results of a study conducted in India to determine the R&D manpower requirements toward the end of the century in for the country´s chemical industries are presented. For 1981-1987 data, projections are made for short-term and long-term manpower requirements. To account for environmental changes, variable parameter regression is used for ten years and exponential smoothing is used for subsequent years. The explanatory variables for the manpower requirements are established and are partitioned into time-dependent and time-independent variables
