Share your views on the future of work and skills
New technologies, globalisation and population ageing are affecting the type and quality of jobs that are available and the skills required to do them. We want to hear your views on this development: Are you worried or confident about the future of your job? Do you think it is likely to change in the future? And how will you keep your skills up-to-date? Let us know! Your opinions will contribute to discussions for better policy making in adult learning in the European Union.

Work with us
The OECD is committed to giving a voice to civil society stakeholders and helping ensure that their views are factored into the OECD’s work and hence making the OECD analyses stronger.
We engage with civil society through various ways: advisory committees that represent businesses and trade unions, regular consultations, as well as conferences and workshops where civil society organisations are welcome to contribute. Find out more.
Next events in January and February:
- Current consultations: Take part into the 2 consultations and the call for contributions that are now open
- Survey: What does the future of automation mean for your job?
Will your job change because of automation? How does your job compare to other professions?

The global production and use of plastics are expected to increase fourfold to 2050 and if the material is poorly managed at the end-of-life, this will potentially result in significantly increased impacts on the environment, especially through marine plastic litter. Join Peter Börkey to discuss how can this scenario be avoided, why are current recycling rates for plastics so low and what can be done to improve them. The presentation will be based on the OECD report Improving markets for recycled plastics: Trends, prospects and policy responses.

Join us in the new year for a live webcast covering a number of recent and upcoming developments in the OECD's international tax work.

- Webinar on emerging science to improve chemical safety: Liver models for induction, clearance and toxicity
Join us to learn and discuss new methodologies developed by research globally. These new approaches might make their way into future regulatory applications, but a dialogue will help scientists understand the needs of the regulatory community, and allow regulators to ask the relevant questions early on. The speakers will present the benefits compared to existing methods in place, the types of chemicals tested, the results obtained, the transferability and economic aspects for routine testing, and any known limitation to the technologies and their applications.
11 February 2019, 14:00-15:00 CET
