- Description
- The quality of the jobs we do matter to our well-being. On average, a person from an OECD country spends 37 hours a week at work, and an increasingly larger share of their adult lives in paid-work. Quality jobs are an important driver of increased labour force participation, productivity and economic performance. The OECD has developed comparable measures of job quality by looking at the individual experience of people at work.

- The penetration of the Internet, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence are allowing machines to do things that were unthinkable only a few years ago. Technological change poses questions on the types of jobs that will be needed in the future, the tasks that will be required and how work is organised.

- Two decades after the Rio Earth Summit, greenhouse gas emissions are higher than ever and pledges to cut carbon beyond 2020, even if met, will not be enough to limit the global temperature rise to a safe level. If we want to reach zero net emissions by the end of the century, we must align our policies for a low-carbon economy, put a price on carbon everywhere, spend less subsidising fossil fuels and invest more in clean energy.

With healthcare budgets under increasing pressure, the issue is set to remain in the political and public spotlight in the years ahead. How much do governments and citizens pay for drugs today?

- How can policy best address inequality? As the 2008 global financial crisis showed, the benefits of economic growth do not trickle down to all; and for a sustainable recovery, growth must be inclusive. The OECD has launched the Centre for Opportunity and Equality to promote its research and provide a forum to discuss how policies can best address inequalities in areas including income, wealth, health and education, and their social and economic consequences. Policies must be redesigned to boost growth and inclusiveness so that everyone and every place can benefit from the wealth generated from economic growth.

- Fighting tax evasion: How to end hybrid mismatch arrangements
- Runtime
- 1:38
- Date posted
- 11 years ago
- Description
- Globalisation has generated opportunities for multinational enterprises to reduce their taxes, often by moving profits to offshore financial centres, and this can erode a country's tax base. The OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project provides governments with solutions for closing the gaps in existing international rules, that currently allow corporate profits to “disappear” or be artificially shifted to low/no tax environments, where little or no economic activity takes place. One target of attention is hybrid financial instruments, such as a convertible bond whose tax treatment might differ between countries, thanks to different laws. Is there a solution? A change to the domestic laws to create more coherence between them may be the answer since this would close down another one of those gaps that enable tax avoidance to take place.

- Tax evasion: Improving financial transparency with country-by-country reporting
- Runtime

- Description
- Globalization has benefited businesses but has also created opportunities for large multinational enterprises to shift profits and report them in low tax jurisdictions to greatly reduce their tax bill. This practice is hard for individual countries to audit, yet it erodes the tax bases which they rely on to pay for public services like roads, hospitals and schools. Country by Country Reporting (CBCR) can improve financial transparency and bolster the OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project by providing governments with solutions for closing the gaps in existing international tax rules that allow corporate profits to “disappear” or be artificially shifted to low or no-tax jurisdictions, even if none of their business activity takes place there.

- The OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project provides governments with solutions for closing the gaps in existing international rules, that currently allow corporate profits to “disappear” or be artificially shifted to low/no tax environments, where little or no economic activity takes place. By using a letterbox or shell company, international firms can take advantage of tax treaties between two countries it does business in to avoid paying tax. To end this so-called treaty shopping, the OECD BEPS project would like only true residents to qualify for tax treaty benefits.

Globalisation has offered multinational enterprises ever-increasing opportunities to reduce their taxes in the digital economy, often by moving profits to offshore financial centres.

- Income inequality has reached record highs in most OECD countries and remains at even higher levels in many emerging economies. The richest 10% of the population now earn 9.6 times the income of the poorest 10% in the OECD, up from 7:1 in the 1980s and 9:1 in the 2000s, according to, 'In It Together: Why Less Inequality Benefits All,' published in 2015. In other words, inequalities had been widening even before the 2008 financial crisis, the OECD finds, and this can undermine economic and social well-being. The organisation calls for policies to foster inclusive growth.

Alcohol takes many direct and indirect tolls on our society, from traffic accidents to extra healthcare costs. The OECD presents four measures to greatly reduce alcohol's damage on individuals and society.
