Interdependenţa dintre ştiinţă şi dezvoltarea economico-socială: UE, CSI, Republica Moldova

Abstract

In this work the interdependence between the level of science development in a society and the level of socio-economic development is studied using scientometrics based on the information model of science. In this model the science is seen as a global information process and the analysis is based on Human Development Report and the Scopus database. The correlation values between Human Development Index and Science Development Index in EU countries, CSI members and Moldova, in special for countries without energy resources, denote that there is direct positive interdependence between science development and socio-economic development of a country, although it cannot be determined if HDI or SDI is the primary parameter. According to the results obtained the positive reverse connection “science development level – socio-economic development level - science development level” should be considered. Taking into consideration that the Republic of Moldova lacks any energy resources, it is very important for decision makers of the country to get wise to the causes and possible consequences of the insufficient funding of the science.
