Overview
Overview
In the last decade the OECD has undergone a period of transformation under the leadership of Secretary-General Angel Gurria and his senior management, a transformation that has revitalised its operations and outputs. Now celebrating its 60th anniversary, it provides an increasingly valuable resource for its members and other governments worldwide. This book focuses on the policy-related advice, evidence-based global standards, trusted statistics and analysis, and support for policy reform that it has developed.
It commences with a brief history of the OECD and its key decision processes and then moves on to examine the impact of its leadership in driving a wide range of achievements and in securing an expanding, increasingly global role. It then focuses on the organisation's green agenda and the move to measure living conditions in a more detailed fashion, rather than relying largely on GDP, and on the inclusive growth project that aims at making markets work for all.
After an examination of the OECD's remarkably influential work in education, including PISA, TALIS and PIAAC, the focus is upon the work on the importance of innovation and the Digital Economy in driving economic growth, work that demonstrates the capacity of the OECD to embrace new areas of work.
The OECD's partnership with the G20 in the push for stronger international cooperation and transparency in tax matters is then examined, as well their inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit shifting (BEPS), aimed at tackling tax evasion.
The OECD's strategic response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the drive to develop 'Smart Data' are the last two topics covered. The response to COVID rests upon the work that has been done on both health and crisis management, while the Smart Data Strategy was launched in 2018 to modernise the OECD's data capabilities and to harness new sources and techniques, in partnership with members and other international organisations.
