The world is suffering from a devastating drought. According to an August report from the European Drought Observatory, nearly two-thirds of European territory is either experiencing drought or on high alert, due to stifling heatwaves and minimal rainfall. The consequences are far-reaching: electricity production, crop yields, and inland shipping are just a few of the sectors being hit, as wildfires expand and rivers run dry. Europe isn’t alone—from the Horn of Africa to the Western United States,

Worn out: COVID-19, Women and the Great Exhaustion

OECD Podcasts ·

2022/07/14

It’s been a tough two years for women. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, women were hit harder by job losses, leading many to call it a “she-cession”. But as the pandemic worse on we started to see wider impacts too. We saw women on the front line of the crisis response, making up 75% of the workforce in health and social care. Women were taking on more work at home due to school and childcare closures. We saw women feeling more isolated from social network. We also saw a shadow pandemic – the rise

The European Parliament and Council are currently negotiating the Artificial Intelligence Act, which introduces common regulatory and legal framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in all domains except the military. However, the negotiations pose several challenges for legislators. How should the risk categories be established? Do they take into account unintended impacts of AI? What divergences between public and private sectors could emerge, and how can they be adressed? And how is the AI Act

Cultural and creative sectors have been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The overall contribution to global gross value added (GVA) of the sector fell by around 21% between 2019-20. 10 million jobs were lost worldwide in these industries. However, the impact of the pandemic has been uneven. Businesses with strong digital content have done very well, such as the gaming and music streaming services. Public support measures helped to cushion some of the COVID-19 blow, but now we need a

Lower your thermostat and bring a reusable bag. Commute by bicycle and recycle. These are all everyday life actions, promoted to help the climate change crisis. But how is it decided what changes we should make in our lives? How easily do people change their behaviour? Can it actually make a difference? Understanding human behaviour works hand-in-hand with climate change policy and we're speaking about this with Chiara Varazzani, OECD lead behavioural scientist and Kevin Green, Vice President of

Artificial intelligence played a pivotal role during the COVID-19 pandemic, from hastening diagnoses to supporting contract tracing and more. In this sense, the pandemic has already shown us how A.I. can benefit healthcare. But this seems just the beginning of revolution. What else can be done? What are the limits and risks of using artificial intelligence in health care? And how can we best ensure that it is both effective and trustworthy? We’ll answer these questions with Lina Gálvez Muñoz, MEP

Everyone relies on data and statistics for making decisions in everyday life, whether at home or at work. Not having data would be like flying blind. But with so much information out there, how can we trust the numbers we read in the media or in official government sources, or for that matter, from the OECD? What are official statistics anyway, who produces them and what makes them so reliable? Do we have enough of the right kind of data for meeting today’s health, climate and other pressing

Russia's late February invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a devastating and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, with thousands of civilian deaths. At least four million Ukrainians have fled the country and nearly seven million are internally displaced. Beyond Ukraine, the conflict is upending the global economy, deepening pressure on vulnerable households still reeling from the pandemic. And with Russia and Ukraine as major exporters of wheat, the war could destabilise the global food supply and

Not everyone has an equal opportunity to transform their ideas into a business.

The OECD, in partnership with IBM, recently conducted a social media poll, asking young people about how well prepared they feel to join the world of work, how confident they are about their future paths and what concerns them about education and jobs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, the OECD’s Anthony Mann and IBM’s Lydia Logan discuss insights from the poll and why career guidance and real-world work experiences are more important for young people than ever.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures in nearly all countries in 2020, with as much as 55 in-person learning days lost for young children and as many as 100 days lost for high school students. The impact of this disproportionately affected those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who were more likely to lack the resources for effective remote learning. The need to strengthen educational opportunities is not new, but the impact of COVID-19 on learning has made this challenge even more pressing

Début juillet 2021, plus de 130 pays et juridictions sont parvenus à un accord sur une refonte radicale du système fiscal international. Cet accord vise à faire en sorte que les entreprises multinationales paient une juste part de l’impôt partout où elles exercent des activités. Il actualise des composantes fondamentales d’un système fiscal international presque centenaire qui n’est plus adapté à l’économie mondialisée et numérisée du XXIe siècle. Il entend également limiter la concurrence fiscale
