The OECD will release its annual Employment Outlook report on Tuesday 7 July at 14:00 CEST / 12:00 GMT. The report presents the latest data and analysis of the employment situation in OECD countries. This year’s edition also includes new analysis of regional differences in labour market outcomes and how the place where people live shapes both their prospects for employment and for moving up the income ladder.
OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and OECD Acting Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Mark Pearson will present the report’s key messages at a launch event at the OECD starting at 14:00 CEST on Tuesday 7 July.
A panel discussion will follow, with Mark Pearson; Jeroen Jutte, Director for Employment and Social Governance, Analysis at DG EMPL in the European Commission; Sonya Krutikova, Deputy Research Director at the UK Institute for Fiscal Studies and a Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Manchester; and Nadim Ahmad, Deputy Director of the OECD’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities.
The launch event can be followed online live here.
