Abstract

This article presents a characterization of the basic training of teachers who teach in undergraduate courses in statistics in Brazil. It also discusses the need for statistic manpower within these courses, based on the current situation of training of graduate statistical students in Brazil in terms of supply of graduates in contrast to the required number of graduates to fill the vacancies of teachers within the undergraduate courses of Statistics. The study was conducted using statistical sampling procedures, and its importance is in terms of strategic planning, indicating a real imbalance between supply and demand for graduates in Statistics within Statistics undergraduate courses in the country. Furthermore, it points the need for a procedure of doctoral induction within the area. Otherwise, even in 2020, the deficit of graduates in Statistics to meet the current vacancies within the undergraduate courses in such field may endure.
