Abstract
In forecasting the supply and demand of highly trained human resources at the national level, it must be recognized that people flow through a network which starts at kindergarten and ends in higher education. The upper reaches of this pipeline exhibit many branches and even some feedback loops. Network models used in such forecasting require people flow data, in addition to many socio-economic and political considerations. This paper, using a systems approach, points out the voids in the U.S. national education statistics.
