Progress and priorities
> Overview of structural reform progress and identifying priorities in 2017 (pdf)
This chapter assesses the progress in structural reforms that countries have achieved in areas related to Going for Growth policy recommendations over the period 2015-16. Against this background, it identifies OECD and selected non-OECD countries’ new priority areas where structural reforms are needed to lift growth and make it more inclusive.
Inclusiveness
> Integrating inclusiveness in the Going for Growth framework (pdf)
This chapter discusses how the Going for Growth framework is extended to fully take into consideration inclusiveness as a policy objective, alongside employment and productivity growth. It provides a broad picture of inclusiveness trends across OECD and selected non-OECD countries, focusing on income distribution and inequality outcomes, followed by a comprehensive assessment of policy challenges related to inclusiveness and potential remedies reflected in the formulation of Going for Growth reform priorities.
The reform agenda
> Overview of the reform agenda (pdf)
This chapter presents the country-specific policy priorities and underlying recommendations to achieve high and inclusive growth. It starts by reviewing how countries rank in terms of GDP per capita and income inequality. This is followed by a cross-country examination of Going for Growth recommendations by policy areas.
Structural policy indicators
> Structural policy indicators (excel)
Also available > in time series (dotstat)
This chapter contains a comprehensive set of quantitative indicators that allow for a comparison of policy settings across countries (both OECD and selected non-OECD as per data availability). The indicators cover areas of tax and transfer systems and how they affect work incentives, as well as product and labour market regulations, education and training, trade and investment rules and innovation policies.

Going for Growth builds on OECD expertise on structural policy reforms and economic performance to provide policy makers with a set of concrete recommendations on reform areas identified as priorities for strong and inclusive growth. The priorities broadly cover product and labour market regulation, education and training, tax and transfer systems, trade and investment rules, as well as innovation policies. The Going for Growth framework has been instrumental in helping G20 countries make progress on their structural reform agenda, including through monitoring their growth strategies to achieve sustained and balanced growth. Main contributors to this edition: Alain de Serres, Nicolas Ruiz, Alberto Gonzalez-Pandiella, Orsetta Causa, Mikkel Hermansen, Agnès Cavaciuti |
Previous releases
Going for Growth is an OECD flagship publication alongside the OECD Economic Outlook and OECD Economic Surveys. First published in 2005, this annual report provides an overview of structural policy developments in OECD countries from a comparative perspective. Based on a broad set of indicators of structural policies and performance, each edition takes stock of recent progress in implementing policy reforms to improve labour productivity and utilisation that were identified as priorities in the previous edition. The set of internationally comparable indicators provided here enables countries to assess their economic performance and structural policies in a broad range of areas.
