The idea for replacement of capital by knowledge as the main source of progress provides ground for the idea of “knowledge-based economy”. This is an economic system in which knowledge appears to be a dominating resource in the same way as – in a former period of development – capital outweighed the land as a source of economic power during the shift from pre-industrial to industrial society. The paper outlines several groups of indicators that typically identify the degree of development of the knowledge-based economy: employment structure (relative shares of employed by economic sectors and sub-sectors, along with the change in these shares), education level (access to relevant professional and higher education; relative share of expenditures for education -general and vocational- in GDP), R&D (researchers by scientific areas; investments in R&D as % of GDP; structure of R&D funding, particularly the share of private funding), etc.
