I am not sure about the number of employees per capita, but perhaps you need to compare the number of eployees per registrated puppies per year or the KC's market share of registrated dogs.

I suppose what we need is a table ...

                                           Country

HumanPopulation

DogPop

DogsRegistered(%)

Members of the KC

Employees of the KC

and??...

 

Over the years, people from other countries have been keen to know why Sweden is different...e.g. low rates of spay/neuter but low unwanted pet numbers; great welfare, etc.  In preliminary statistics it seems that the percent of households with dogs might be less than say, in the USA. Maybe Swedes only get a dog if they can satisfy the stringent rules for keeping one.

Annika (ExecSec at SKK) tells me that she gets rather frequent requests for information on how to set up a KC.  I think it will be a topic on DogWellNet and painting the picture of different models from different countries could be interesting.

As always, perhaps in all of life, but for sure in issues related to human-animal interactions, it is a complex picture, influenced by culture.

Dear Brenda,

 

I think one problem here is that the number of people working for KC is basically depending from the roles of the KC. 

In France for instance the number of people working for the SCC has decreased between 2012 and 2013 from 94 to 58 employees, because the identification activity has been transferred to a new structure.

 

 

The question is even more difficult for the number of members (for SCC at least), as it is a federation of around 1500 associations. It is therefore difficult to have a real estimation of number of people members of SCC.

 

Otherwise here is an estimation of the other information for France

If I find other ideas I will transmit it to you

 Sorry I try to use a table but when used as a comment it did not work...

 

Thanks Gregoire!  Great info and glad for the input.

Tables are a problem...but we are working on another solution.

Yeah I tried the different solutions proposed in the forum without success until know...

 

About the data, some of the information you asked can be found for a large number of countries within FCI website
