Covid-19 shock: What lessons can we learn for competition and global markets?
23 april 2020 · 11 min
The Covid-19 pandemic has shocked our world.

We talk to Frederic Jenny, Professor of Economics at ESSEC Business School in Paris and chair of the OECD Competition Committee. Why have our economies been so badly affected by the coronavirus crisis? What questions does the crisis raise about globalisation, and about markets? Can competition policy help? How can governments be better prepared in future? Lees meer

Social dialogue is a tool for gender equality, says Sally Roever
4 maart 2020 · 15 min
We hold many assumptions about our workplaces and about what makes a good job, ones that often leave out women’s perspectives. Dr. Sally Roever of Women in Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing, known as WIEGO, explains how social dialogue can broaden our understanding of work, unpack our assumptions about labour, and better working conditions for women around the world.

Fake check: Hossein Derakhshan on information warfare
12 februari 2020 · 19 min

Now, false and falsified information spreads rapidly and we have social media platforms and mass messaging systems to thank for that. Hossein Derakhshan, media analyst and co-author of the 2017 report "Information Disorder" published by the Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center, explains how we can counter disinformation and why he doesn't like the term "fake news".

Gordon Brown shares how far we have come on the fight against tax evasion
22 januari 2020 · 12 min

Getting Big Tech to play fair: Denmark’s Casper Klynge
15 januari 2020 · 15 min
In an ideal market economy, there are lots of companies of roughly the same size who compete against each other. Consumers benefit from choice and lower prices. In today's digital economy, however, there are a small number of extremely powerful tech companies, and evidence that competition is not what it should be. Casper Klynge, Denmark's – and the world's – first tech ambassador, explains. Lees meer

David Wallace-Wells sounds the climate alarm
4 december 2019 · 21 min
According to the The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we have 11 years to cut carbon emissions by half. And by 2050, carbon emissions must be eliminated.

He describes for us what the world will be like if we go past a 2°C temperature rise. And what we have to do to avoid it. Lees meer

What can governments do to be ready for the future of work? With OECD’s Stefano Scarpetta
20 november 2019 · 16 min
New technologies such as automation and AI are rapidly reshaping our economies and our work. 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. Because if we wait to see exactly how technologies are changing our economies, we’ll always be too late. Lees meer

Claire Evans on how women made the internet
13 november 2019 · 17 min
Until 1984, computer science in the US was full of women mathematicians and programmers, and then it all changed. What happened? Claire L. Evans, author of the book, Broad Band: The Untold Story of Women Who Made the Internet, tells a story that hadn't been told before of the many women who helped found and formed the internet-- women like Ada Lovelace, the original mother of computing, and Dame Wendy Hall, who invented a new system of hypertext that could have changed the way the World Wide Web functions.

Disorganised labour: Paul Nowak on the urgency of Trade Union 2.0
6 november 2019 · 12 min
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. Lees meer

Do the right thing, says Jeffrey Sachs
30 oktober 2019 · 20 min
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. Lees meer

The jobs of the future will still need humans: Cognizant’s Ben Pring
23 oktober 2019 · 16 min
When it comes to the jobs of the future, you can’t squeeze people out of the equation, says Ben Pring. An optimist, he believes that what makes us human, our soft skills, will be more valuable than ever. And as machines take on more dirty, dangerous or simply dull tasks, people will be able to do work that is more interesting, engaging and meaningful. Ben Pring is co-founder and leader of the Cognizant Center for the Future of Work and author of What To Do When Machines Do Everything. Lees meer

The digital economy can’t just concentrate on the few says Minister Pedro Siza Vieira
16 oktober 2019 · 14 min
The digital economy is bringing great opportunities for people, but also many risks, says Portugal’s Minister of the Economy, Pedro Siza Vieira. 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. Lees meer

Anna Tsing on mushrooms & capitalism
9 oktober 2019 · 21 min
Matsutake mushroom, a beloved Japanese delicacy, grow in what Anna Tsing calls “human-disturbed” environments. They do well in places that have been intensely logged or farmed, for instance. 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. On the possibility of life in capitalist ruins. Lees meer

Robojobs: Matthew Taylor on the future of work
2 oktober 2019 · 14 min
Work as we know it will never be the same. In fact, it already isn’t the same for some people. According to the OECD, 14% of jobs in OECD countries are highly automatable – another 32% of jobs could be substantially changed in how they’re carried out. Lees meer
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). His 2017 review on modern employment, "Good Work”, was commissioned by the UK prime minister.

The air we breathe : Rich Fuller of Pure Earth
25 september 2019 · 17 min
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. Lees meer

First-class humans, not second-class robots – Andreas Schleicher on learning and the future of work
26 juni 2019 · 15 min
In a world where machines can do more and more, what skills and knowledge will today’s children need in order to be prepared for the jobs of tomorrow? The OECD’s Andreas Schleicher says that AI and tech can make our lives and work a lot more rewarding and interesting – if we are prepared. We need to think about how human skills can complement those of machines, rather than try to do what they do. And we need to talk a lot less about education that ends at the school door and a lot more about how to give people the capacity and motivation to continue learning, to continue to expand their horizon every day.

Jacinda Ardern on Christchurch Call and how New Zealand's focusing on well-being
29 mei 2019 · 9 min
New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern was in Paris earlier this month for a global summit on online violent extremism. New Zealand’s initiative, Christchurch Call, is a pledge that countries will set guidelines on how the media should report acts of terrorism, and adopt and enforce laws on objectionable material. This follows the country’s ban on semiautomatic weapons and assault rifles weeks after the Christchurch mosque shootings in March 2019. In this short interview, Ms Ardern discusses the initiative as well as New Zealand’s landmark Well-Being budget, housing and the future of work. Lees meer

Helena Morrissey on why boardrooms need more women
22 mei 2019 · 19 min
We need more women to work, to be paid the same as men, and to hold powerful positions. This is not just a matter of fairness but of plain economics. The OECD estimates that halving the gender gap in the work force by 2030 would boost GDP by about 6%.
Dame Helena Morrissey is the founder of the UK-based 30% Club. Its goal? To reach a minimum of 3 out of 10 women on boards and in senior management. And this is just the thin edge of the diversity wedge. Ms Morrissey believes the power base should also be more inclusive of different ethnicities and sexual identities. Helena Morrissey is the current head of personal investing at Legal & General. Lees meerFor more information on the Forum, go to:

Ruby Wax says there's nothing funny about mental illness
1 mei 2019 · 24 min
Mental illness comes with a big pricetag. The OECD estimates the total cost of mental disorders in the EU to be more than 4% of GDP--over €600 billion. But no price can be put on the cost of mental illness for the person suffering from it. “It’s okay to not be okay,” is comedian and mental health activist Ruby Wax’s message. To the one in four people in the world who suffer from mental disorders at some time in their life (World Health Organization, 2018), these are words from someone who understands, and the first step to coping with the disease. Ruby Wax was awarded an OBE in 2015 for her services to mental health and holds a Master’s degree in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy at University of Oxford. She is the president of Relate, a charity that’s pushing for more government financial support for relationship counselling. Ruby is also the author of Sane New World: Taming the Mind and How to be Human. Lees meer

The town mouse vs the country mouse with OECD’s Joaquim Martins

After visiting his cousin in the city, Aesop’s country mouse concludes that “Poverty with security is better than plenty in the midst of fear and uncertainty”. Those who feel they have neither security nor sufficient means in places like Wales, Italy’s Mezzogiorno and France’s Diagonale du Vide beg to differ. Joaquim Oliveira Martins, deputy director of the OECD’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities, says the answers to today’s populist angst lie in local strategies and coordination.

MIT’s Fiona Murray on women in tough tech
13 maart 2019 · 16 min

Gender equality? OECD’s Gabriela Ramos says, “Yes, girls can.”
6 maart 2019 · 17 min
At age 15, 5% of boys in OECD countries want to work in information technology (ICT). And girls? 0.5%. With society digitalising fast and the current gender gap in science/technology/engineering/maths (STEM) widening, the future still looks to be a “man’s, man’s, man’s world”. But Gabriela Ramos, OECD Chief of Staff and Sherpa to the G20, is betting against James Brown. She urges girls to set their ambitions high and calls on policy makers to break down the policy barriers that are holding women back. Lees meer

Retrofitting social security to new ways of working: OECD’s Monika Queisser
20 februari 2019 · 13 min
The days when people held a full-time job for most of their lives and accordingly received benefits are over. Nowadays, many of us are temps, self-employed, and artists. We work part-time, pick up gig work, take on zero-hour contracts. How do we reconcile social security like pensions, unemployment benefits, and medical insurance with these more fluid forms of work? We discuss this and ideas like Universal Basic Income with Monika Queisser, who is Head of Social Policy at the OECD. Lees meer

Digitalisation: “The global tax rules are changing.” – Pascal Saint-Amans, OECD tax chief
30 januari 2019 · 20 min
Everybody agrees that tech giants and all other businesses should pay their fair share of taxes where they create value. But is a digital tax the way to go? OECD tax chief Pascal Saint-Amans says no. The OECD has secured an agreement among 127 countries and jurisdictions to spearhead talks on changing the rules of the taxation game: shifting more taxing rights to market jurisdictions where goods and services—digital or not—are being consumed…away from the countries where multinational companies are headquartered. What’s at stake? Nothing short of changing fundamental tax rules to address the 21st century’s globalised and digitalising economy. Lees meer
