Programme

Chair:  Anthony Gooch, Director, Public Affairs and Communication Directorate, OECD

Background:

Coping with the Social Impact of the Crisis

The financial and economic crisis has turned into a social crisis with large job losses and potentially severe social consequences. This session will provide an overview of the OECD’s analysis and recommendations on how labour market and social policies can help workers and low income households weather the storm of the crisis.

Consultation Session on Green Growth

In June 2009, ministers tasked the OECD with developing a Green Growth Strategy that will bring together economic, environmental, technological, and development aspects into a comprehensive framework to guide future growth. OECD staff will present the proposed development of the strategy. MPs are invited to provide input and share experiences with green growth initiatives in their countries.

Transparency and Integrity in the Public and Corporate Sector

The crisis has demonstrated how transparency and integrity are central to the health of our economies and their stability. The OECD does important work on both corporate and public governance. OECD staff will present recent work on regulatory reform, new principles on the transparency and integrity in lobbying, and corporate governance.
