英国国家统计局与大伦敦市政府合作建立了首个科技行业分类系统,具体包含五个子类:数字技术、生命科学和卫生保健、出版和广播、其他科学/技术制造、其他科学/技术服务。并基于此分类系统对伦敦及下辖自治市进行研究,研究发现,伦敦及下辖自治市的科技行业就业岗位数和工作场所数均呈增长趋势,但区域分化明显,存在科技行业的中心化集聚现象。该分类系统的内涵与范畴相对我国的科技行业分类而言有较大差别,该结论的揭示,对我国大城市推进科技产业发展有着较为直接的借鉴启示意义。
<<Industries with high scientific and/or technological content are very important for London’s economy. However,there has been no agreed statistical definition which in the UK Standard Industrial Classification can be categorized as having a significant “Science and Technology” content. A classification of ‘Science and Technology’ drawn up by the ONS London statisticians working with the GLA attempts to address this issue. It contains five sub-categories as follows:digital technologies;life sciences and healthcare;Publishing and broadcasting;other scientific/technological manufacture;and other scientific/technological services. Through applying this category we can find how employee jobs and workplaces change in science and technology in London and the boroughs,and map the spatial distribution of employment for London and Inner London.
