In developing countries,millions of peoples looking for scientists and PH.d holders to look after their peoples.broader impact of research in society is widely

discussed today: the questions of how one should

define, evaluate, and support it have become one of the

main themes in science and innovation policy. One important

route to broader impact of research is through people working

outside academia who have been trained in research, e.g.,

have a doctoral degree. With their research-based knowledge

and skills they have impact on various sectors of society.

The total number of doctoral degrees awarded annually in

Finland has increased since the early 1990s. The growth has

continued in the 2000s, although the speed of the growth has

subsided. The growth rates vary between different research

fields, and in some fields the number has even decreased

during 2007–2015. In 2015 the total number of doctoral

degrees awarded in Finland was 1,881.

Doctoral training is not exclusively meant for those

who are pursuing an academic career. Based on statistics

generated by Statistics Finland in 2013, there were about

24,300 doctoral degree holders in Finland’s labour force, of

which approximately 23,200 were employed. The largest

employer sector for doctoral degree holders was the

universities, with 37% of all employed doctoral degree holders

who had gained their doctorate in 2012 or earlier. Less than

10% of the employed doctoral degree holders worked in

government research institutes and little more than 25% in

other parts of the public sector. The private sector accounted

for little more than 25% of the employed doctoral degree

holders. This includes the entrepreneurs (6% of all employed

doctoral degree holders). The proportion of doctoral degree

holders working in different employer sectors varies across

disciplines.so why we cannot use scientists to advance their countries?
