- Description
- The world that today’s students will enter after leaving school is volatile, complex and uncertain. Things have changed dramatically in just ten years, and the rate of change shows no signs of slowing. Students will need to adapt to new ways of working, socialising and participating in society. Overcoming these challenges will require a generation of innovators, and a new approach to education. But how can educators foster innovation among their students? And why are schools struggling to do this today? To discuss this, we caught up with Geoff Mulgan, CEO of Nesta, and Stéphan Vincent-Lancrin, a senior analyst in the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills.

- Description
- You’re no doubt hearing a lot about education these days, with the release of the latest results from PISA. Over the two decades of its existence, the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment has convened a growing number of countries – now around 80 – to participate in its triennial assessment of what 15-year-old students know and can do. But PISA has also attracted some criticism along the way. Yong Zhao, professor in the School of Education at the University of Kansas, and Aaron Benavot, professor of Global Education Policy in the School of Education at the State University of New York at Albany, discuss the value of a test the whole world can take with Director of the OECD Directorate for Education and Skills, Andreas Schleicher.

- Entrepreneurs think big. They launch new ideas, create jobs, promote economic development. They also help foster sustainable growth and social inclusion. But is entrepreneurship open to everyone? And can it really serve as a social elevator? Yes, argues says entrepreneur and philanthropist John Hope Bryant – if there is the right culture in place. In this podcast he lays out his plan to build financial literacy, self-sufficiency and stronger economies.

- Description
- Millions of people around the world suffer—and many die prematurely—because of air pollution. The culprit: fossil fuel burning. It's poisoning the air we breathe and pushing up carbon emissions. Air pollution and climate change are two sides of the same coin: improve the quality of the air we breathe, and that will immediately make us healthier. It will also bring down the carbon and methane emissions that trap the sun’s heat, raising our planet’s temperature. Rich Fuller is the founder and president of the nonprofit Pure Earth, which is dedicated to solving pollution problems in low- and middle-income countries. Mr Fuller also co-chaired the landmark Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health.

Matthew Taylor discusses some ideas on how to extend the social security net to platform workers and how he thinks the general landscape of employment will evolve. Mr Taylor is the chief executive of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).

Which makes them model organisms for adverse conditions. Matsutake mushrooms can also teach us a thing or two about ecology and market economies. Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing is professor of anthropology at the University of California in Santa Cruz. She is the author of The Mushroom at the end of the world.

- Business-as-usual has become a largely unsustainable system. When economics and the financial industry are driven solely by quarterly earnings growth and GDP, the well-being of most people falls by the wayside. The health of our environment and trust between people are also casualties of growth-only economics. Economist Jeffrey Sachs is the director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He says our economic watchwords should be well-being. And do no harm. While this podcast was recorded in October 2019, Sachs’ insights remain more relevant than ever.

- Trade unions have been out of fashion in the past couple of decades. In 1985, 45% of workers were protected by collective agreements. In 2016, this number fell to 32%. While economies have more or less gone back to pre-crisis levels and unemployment is spectacularly low, wages remain stuck. Are we witnessing trade union revivalism now? Paul Nowak, UK Deputy General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress, give us his take.

For Stefano Scarpetta, head of the directorate for employment, labour and social affairs at the OECD, these changes aren’t likely to lead to massive, technologically driven unemployment, but rather can bring opportunities if the right policies and support are in place. In order to build an inclusive future of work, governments – together with employers, trade unions and civil society – need to act now.

To ensure that everyone benefits from this brave new future of work, we need to build on the social foundations that have worked for decades and make them fit for today. Countries need the right policies in place, from social protections to cover us when we’re sick, out of work or retired, to investment in education, training and reskilling. And if we don’t get this right, it’s democracy itself that will suffer.

- David Wallace-Wells, American journalist and author of the bestseller book “The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming”, explains that mitigating climate change is our responsibility.
The existential threat of climate change, and the interlinked biodiversity crisis and the multiple impacts of both, including on people, must be addressed as a core economic challenge. This requires broader government strategies to achieve strong, sustainable, fair and resilient growth. In doing so, governments will have to manage a complex political economy of reform and pursue a transformation that creates opportunity for all. Learn more: https://www.oecd.org/climate-change/.

- Description
- The OECD regularly recommends to countries to reform their education and training systems. Economists refer to this as improving ‘human capital’. Yet, at the macroeconomic level, quantifying the effects of human capital on growth and productivity has often proven frustratingly elusive. A newly released OECD measure of human capital, which varies across countries and over time, works well in productivity regressions, providing the “missing” link between growth and human capital.
