Marking the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurriá announced a new Gender Initiative. The project will investigate gender barriers to education and employment, make policy recommendations to close the gap, and develop indicators to monitor progress.
"The ability of the participants to design, negotiate and conclude such a thorough, market-driven agreement in less than a year is remarkable. It is testimony to the power of the multilateral cooperation that continues to drive OECD work 50 years after its creation.", M. Gurría declared.
OECD Secretary-General talks of the need to promote a significant shift in policy-making to introduce together a new era that favours long term investments for sustainable development, at the Eurofi High Level Seminar in Paris.
Vigorous competition stimulates productivity and the innovation that is vital for fostering new sources of growth and competitiveness. It prevents market capture by incumbents or large firms. Competitive markets create new employment opportunities, and increase the access of consumers to cheaper and better quality products. Fair competition is one of the oldest pillars of economic progress, according to OECD Secretary-General.
For over 50 years, the OECD has provided fact-based analysis and policy advice to help governments improve the lives of their citizens. In these challenging economic times, we benefit from the European Parliament insights and perspectives in order to remain relevant and establish a more solid connection between public policy and the people for which policy is made, says OECD Secretary-General.
The aim of the OECD Green Growth Strategy is to provide a clear framework for how countries can achieve economic growth and development while at the same time preventing costly environmental degradation, climate change and inefficient use of natural resources.
At this roundtable, M. Gurría concluded that the topic of fairness and intergenerational solidarity is an essential part of our responsibility today and will be essential for the creation of a stronger, cleaner, fairer world economy tomorrow.
The world economy is recovering, but many challenges remain to eliminate global imbalances. Countries must address the crucial question of capital movements while deepening their commitment to structural reforms, according to OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría.
The European Union faces serious challenges today, with public finances in poor shape, weak long-term growth prospects and an unemployment level close to 10%. In this context, the regional policy can play a crucial role to unleash the growth potential of our economies, says OECD Secretary-General.
Según el secretario general, para reforzar la integración de América Latina a la economía global, hay que favorecer la apertura de las economías latinoamericanas y del Caribe, consolidar las reformas, en particular las que conciernen a las reglas fiscales y limitar los desequilibrios globales con el apoyo del G20.
