This study seeks to build on a 2012 report published by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and entitled 'Science, engineering and technology technicians in the UK economy', which explored technician employment and developed a definition of science, technology and engineering (SET) technicians and professionals. This study expands the SET definition to include activities from the whole spectrum of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), in addition to health (H) and also including workers at a managerial level (in addition to technicians and professionals). The purpose of this report is to provide an understanding of where and how STEM technicians are employed across the UK and how their patterns of employment and demographic characteristics differ from STEM managers and professionals.
