- Is AI making it harder for young people to find work?

- Description
- Could artificial intelligence be making it harder for young people to find work? Across OECD countries, young people face tougher conditions when entering the labour market, with a widening unemployment gap between young workers and the rest of the workforce, particularly for young graduates.
Current OECD evidence does not show that AI is responsible for this deterioration. The trend began before the rise of large language models such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. At the same time, AI-related hiring is growing, and the impact of AI on jobs, tasks and sectors requires close monitoring.
Young people are often employed on fixed-term contracts or enter the labour market with limited experience. During labour market slowdowns, they are usually among the first groups affected by weaker hiring conditions.

- What makes a fair exam? It’s a question that has grown in significance as upper secondary certificates play an ever more pivotal role in students’ lives. They are a passport to higher education, training and employment at a time when institutions and employers are often choosing from larger pools of candidates than ever before.
In this episode of Top Class, the OECD’s Chris Moore is joined by Ruth Johnson, Director of Assessment at Cambridge OCR, one of the United Kingdom’s leading exam boards. She discusses how to keep exams inclusive, why she believes they remain the fairest way of testing students’ abilities - and the challenges facing assessors in the age of artificial intelligence.

Beyond subject expertise, effective teaching depends on a strong understanding of how students learn, what motivates them and how to create classrooms where every learner can thrive. A new OECD report reveals significant differences between countries in teachers’ general pedagogical knowledge - the knowledge that helps teachers explain concepts clearly, anticipate misconceptions, engage students and support learning at a high level.
The OECD’s Teacher Knowledge Survey explores what teachers know about learning itself and why these skills are so closely linked to student success. In this episode of Top Class, OECD Editor Duncan Crawford speaks with Linda Darling-Hammond, Chief Knowledge Officer at the Learning Policy Institute, and Heewoon Bae, OECD policy analyst, about the survey’s findings and what policymakers can do to strengthen teacher knowledge and improve outcomes for students.

- The conflict in the Middle East is testing the resilience of the global economy.
The outlook is surrounded by high uncertainty and reflects the interaction of two opposing forces:
- On the upside, growth is supported by strong momentum in technology-related investment and production, lower tariff rates than previously assumed, and carry-over from robust outcomes in 2025.
- On the downside, the halt in shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and the closure and damage of some energy infrastructure has generated a surge in energy prices and disrupted the global supply of energy and other important commodities, such as fertilisers. This is raising costs, weighing on demand and adding to inflationary pressures.

This video explores why economic differences between regions continue despite some convergence over the past 20 years. While moving from lower-income regions to higher-income regions may help some people access better opportunities, such movement remains limited.

- A skilled workforce is essential for economies to grow. But in many countries, unequal access to skill development opportunities continues to hold people and societies back.
Drawing on the OECD Skills Outlook 2025, this video explains why family background remains the strongest driver of skills gaps. Adults whose parents did not attend university have lower literacy, numeracy, and adaptive problem‑solving skills and earn 11% less, unless education and skills are equal.
Across OECD countries, around half of skills differences are explained by education pathways, with 61% of university‑educated adults participating in training compared to 19% without a degree. The evidence highlights what works: early learning, inclusive schooling, relevant adult training and recognition of skills wherever they are acquired.

- Critical raw materials are under pressure as export restrictions surge globally – reshaping trade, supply chains and economic security. Discover the OECD’s latest 2026 findings and what they mean for the future.
This video presents key insights from the OECD Inventory of Export Restrictions on Critical Raw Materials 2026. Restrictions have increased fivefold since 2009, with 16% of global trade now affected. Exposure is highest for strategic minerals with around 70% of cobalt and manganese exports, 47% of graphite and 45% of rare earth elements facing constraints. These measures tighten supply, raise volatility and risk fragmenting global markets.
Presented at the OECD Critical Minerals Forum, the analysis highlights growing use of restrictions across a wider range of countries and the urgent need for co-operation, transparency and diversified supply to support stable global growth.

- Description
- This webinar, recorded on Tuesday, 14 April, explores distributional national accounts—a key framework for understanding how income, consumption, saving and wealth are distributed across households. Moving beyond traditional GDP metrics, it shows how macroeconomic data can be aligned with real‑world inequality patterns to deliver deeper and more policy‑relevant economic insights.
Experts discuss methodologies for aligning microdata with national accounts, addressing technical challenges and micro-macro data gaps. The session emphasises how improved measurement can reveal disparities often hidden in aggregate statistics.
By integrating distributional perspectives, policymakers gain more accurate tools to design inclusive economic strategies. The discussion underscores the importance of transparency, data quality, and innovation in shaping future economic analysis.
