This paper provides guidance to the Philippines on the development of its National Student Assessment Framework, referred to nationally as the National Basic Education Assessment Framework, a key milestone in the country’s assessment reform agenda. It forms part of a broader technical assistance project jointly implemented by the OECD and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and funded by the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific. The project supports the Department of Education of the Philippines in strengthening its student assessment system. The paper reviews the strengths and challenges of the student assessment system. It concludes with recommendations to support the further development and implementation of the 2026 30 National Basic Education Assessment Framework. Together, these recommendations aim to support the rationalisation of the assessment landscape and the development of a coherent set of high-quality student assessments that generates reliable data to inform policy and improve teaching and student learning. The paper may also be of interest to other countries seeking to strengthen their student assessment systems.

The mitigation work programme (MWP) was established in 2021 to urgently scale up mitigation ambition and implementation in this critical decade. This paper takes stock of experiences with the MWP to date and explores potential design options for its continuation. It first positions the MWP within the wider mitigation architecture, examining its dual purpose, safeguards and role as a platform for collective and facilitative discussions on mitigation. It then reviews the global dialogues, investment-focused events and annual decisions adopted to date. Submissions from Parties and non-Party stakeholders point to the value of the MWP as a convening space, but also to its limitations including in the depth of discussions held and the uptake of outputs. The paper unpacks the implications of different design options for the MWP going forward including its timeline, topic selection, modalities, outputs, governance and co-ordination. The analysis finds that multi-year work planning and structured engagement of relevant experts could help to strengthen the effectiveness of the MWP, enhance predictability and continuity while preserving flexibility. It also suggests that more substantive outputs and clearer connections with related processes could be developed while respecting agreed safeguards that preserve national determination.

Statistics increasingly need to capture the complexity of inequalities experienced by diverse populations. This paper provides a conceptual and methodological overview of how an intersectional perspective can contribute to this objective by considering how multiple individual and social characteristics interact in complex, overlapping and non-additive ways within broader social and institutional contexts. It examines how intersectional analysis can reveal inequalities and population groups that may remain hidden in aggregate statistics or single-axis analysis, thereby supporting more targeted and evidence-based policymaking. The paper discusses key statistical challenges, including data availability and quality, analytical complexity, interpretation and communication, and ethical and privacy considerations. It reviews a range of complementary approaches, from descriptive and regression-based methods to multilevel modelling, cluster and latent class analysis, machine learning and mixed methods, highlighting their strengths, limitations and appropriate use. The paper provides practical guidance for integrating an intersectional perspective into statistical analysis and production.

In Spain, the Complemento de Apoyo al Empleo (CAE) allows individuals to receive unemployment benefits whilst in employment. This paper sets out the findings and recommendations of a project aimed at improving the CAE, drawing on international good practice, as well as analyses carried out using the OECD TaxBen model and administrative data. Strengthening the role of CAE as wage insurance – by linking its amount either to UI entitlements or directly to the previous wage – would provide stronger work incentives when wage loss at re-employment is greater; and would limit low-wage traps for full-time workers. However, such reforms would tend to offer lower net income and weaker work incentives for workers transitioning between two low-paid jobs, compared with the current CAE. Strengthening the role of CAE as wage insurance would also increase CAE coverage among re-employed individuals and, consequently, fiscal costs, albeit to a moderate extent. Higher CAE coverage would particularly benefit certain vulnerable groups whose coverage is currently relatively low, such as the low skilled, the youth, and workers in southern regions.

Ensuring that labour migration pathways function effectively is a persistent policy challenge for OECD and EU countries. The decision on whom to admit as labour migrants, and under what conditions must balance labour market needs against broader social and political considerations. This report provides a comparative overview of how OECD and EU countries regulate the admission of foreign nationals for work, examining the tools used to verify recruitment need – labour market tests, shortage occupation lists, and numerical limits – alongside eligibility criteria, acceleration mechanisms such as priority processing and recognised employer schemes, and the platforms providing public information on labour migration pathways to employers and workers. It concludes with a review of the administrative factors that shape access to these pathways in practice: processing times, fees, and documentary requirements. By benchmarking how these tools are designed and applied across 220 labour migration pathways in 41 OECD and EU countries, the report supports policymakers in analysing the trade-offs of specific admission policy choices and designing more effective labour migration systems that can meet their objectives

Balancing data protection and access to boost innovation and generate trust

While digitalisation is already enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability, knowledge on digital governance systems remains fragmented across countries. This paper addresses this gap, setting out a framework and analysing questionnaire responses to facilitate international comparison and the sharing of good practices. Data governance across countries operates along a spectrum from more public-led to more market-led approaches, with most combining public rules, private contracts and voluntary mechanisms. Key challenges include uncertainty over data rights, limited transparency, vendor lock-in, uneven interoperability and portability, and lack of trust among data users and providers. Digital adoption is also constrained by broader barriers, including costs, skills, connectivity and differences in farm structure. The paper highlights the diversity of digital governance models. Effective systems need to balance data protection and access, promote broader digital and innovation enablers, build trust, support contestable digital service markets, and strengthen interoperability and portability.

Rostoucí počet zemí OECD usiluje o využití potenciálu mikrocertifikátů jako nástroje ke zvýšení účasti na prohlubování kvalifikace (upskilling) a rekvalifikaci (reskilling) v reakci na rychlé technologické změny a stárnutí populace. Mikrocertifikáty dokládají výsledky učení, které si účastníci osvojí po absolvování vzdělávacích aktivit, jež jsou menšího rozsahu, více zacílené a flexibilnější než tradiční programy formálního vzdělávání a odborné přípravy, přičemž teoreticky mohou být vydávány širokou škálou poskytovatelů vzdělávání a odborné přípravy. Tato zpráva představuje navrhovanou strategii pro další zavádění mikrocertifikátů napříč sektory vzdělávání a odborné přípravy v České republice. Doporučení představená v této zprávě, vypracovaná v rámci projektu financovaného z Nástroje pro technickou podporu (TSI) Evropské unie, vycházejí z posouzení českého kontextu, hloubkové analýzy politik a praxe v dalších zemích OECD a z rozsáhlých konzultací se zainteresovanými stranami napříč regiony České republiky.

Enhancing resilience in a world of interconnected risks

This annual report reviews agricultural policies in 56 countries, including the 38 OECD Member countries, five non-OECD EU Member States, and 13 emerging economies. Against the backdrop of more frequent, significant and interconnected global shocks with increasing economic impact, overall support to agriculture has increased to a new high at more than USD 950 billion in 2025, USD 121 billion or nearly 15% above 2023. Contrary to past decades of declines relative to production, the increase in support since 2023 has exceeded production growth. While the rise across emerging economies is driven predominantly by price inflating measures, the increase in OECD countries is mainly in budgetary transfers to agricultural producers, including significant ad-hoc disaster support. Despite the growing need for sector transformation, public investments in knowledge and innovation and other services to enhance sustainable productivity growth are receiving a falling share in total support in a rapidly growing agricultural sector. This report offers guidance for future-proofing policies for a more efficient, sustainable and resilient agriculture.

Global capital markets have undergone profound changes in the last three decades, with large institutional investors emerging as central actors through significant and increasingly cross-border ownership. Their scale and influence may contribute to market efficiency, integrity and corporate accountability, but also raise policy challenges regarding transparency and alignment with client interests. This policy paper provides guidance to policymakers and regulators on how to assess the legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks to support effective stewardship. Focusing on fiduciary duties, disclosure and the role of market service providers, the paper emphasises proportionality, transparency and accountability to foster high-quality stewardship and reinforce trust in capital markets.

OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance 2026 explores how economic, social, demographic and environmental conditions differ across regions and cities in OECD countries. Looking beyond national averages, it examines where people and businesses are benefiting from new opportunities and where gaps in productivity, jobs, housing, population trends, access to services and exposure to climate risks persist. The 2026 edition pays particular attention to the geography of artificial intelligence and knowledge-based activities, housing affordability, population ageing and decline, access to social and community infrastructure, and growing exposure to heat stress. It also explores how these trends interact, shaping the ability of different places to attract people, create opportunities and adapt to change. The report provides comparable evidence for national, regional and local policy makers, researchers and others seeking to understand how where people live affects economic opportunities, quality of life and resilience to future change.

Korea’s fertility rate was 0.8 children per woman in 2025, the lowest level recorded among countries in the world. Why has this happened, what are the consequences and implications for population ageing, and what can be done about it? This review illustrates the various aspects of fertility trends, such as the strong link between marriage and parenthood, the high prevalence of one-child-families in Korea, and the growing incidence of childlessness among women. The review addresses the many issues that play a role in fertility decisions in Korea. It pays particular attention to social attitudes and norms among young people and how these may affect partnering, the continuing development of a comprehensive family support policy, the impact of high private tuition and housing costs, and the characteristics of the labour market that make work and family reconciliation and finding economic security so difficult to achieve.

Deepening Integration into a Changing Global Economy

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) can harness major technological, environmental and geopolitical transformations through deeper and more diversified regional and global economic integration. The region’s strengths in renewable energy, critical minerals, agrifood systems and artificial intelligence (AI) create opportunities to attract quality investment, expand and diversify trade, strengthen energy and food security, and move into higher-value activities in global value chains. Yet LAC remains insufficiently integrated into the global economy, while weak regional linkages, infrastructure gaps, regulatory barriers, limited financing and skills shortages constrain productivity and economic growth. Stronger regional integration, particularly in strategic sectors, can help the region connect more effectively to global markets. By strengthening infrastructure, finance, skills and regulatory frameworks, and by leveraging international partnerships for investment, technology and market access, LAC can translate its strategic assets into higher productivity, innovation, quality jobs, and more inclusive and sustainable growth.

Are We Saving Enough for Retirement?

Today, asset-backed pension systems play a key role in supporting people’s retirement. The eighth edition of the OECD Pensions Outlook analyses how pension assets increased in 2025 and their long-term growth since 2000, focussing on how contributions, investment income and pension payments affect their growth. To assess whether individuals are contributing enough to achieve their retirement income objectives, the Outlook examines whether individuals need to save more voluntarily to complement their mandatory pensions. It analyses how pension and insurance investors incorporate risks to the sustainability of their investment portfolios to ensure returns on investment. The report also discusses the benefits and potential downsides of financial advice for individuals’ retirement income decisions about how much to contribute and how to invest. Finally, the report explores how the taxation of inherited pensions affects individuals’ use of asset-backed pension plans to improve their retirement income.

The information and communication technology (ICT) sector is a key driver of modern economies, yet official measures of ICT value added are published with multi-year lags, limiting their usefulness for real-time monitoring. This paper extends the OECD's machine learning nowcasting model for ICT sector growth by refining its Google Trends feature set, updating it using the latest OECD Structural Analysis (STAN) Database, and introducing a selective pooling strategy based on countries' structural positions within global ICT value chains, derived from Trade in Value Added (TiVA) data. Results show that pooling countries with similar value-chain linkages improves prediction accuracy relative to global pooling. The findings suggest that the pooling strategy should be treated as a model-selection problem informed by economic structure, offering an empirically grounded framework for tracking ICT sector growth.

The global market for digital technology products – including Internet of Things appliances and wearables, AI-powered vehicles, robots and chatbots, and virtual reality devices – is expanding rapidly. While these products’ digital features can help detect hazards and enable remote fixes, connectivity loss, unpredictable AI behaviour and immersive technologies may cause physical harm. In addition, AI chatbots and social robots may pose mental health risks, particularly for children. While the scale of these impacts remains unclear due to limited data and under-reporting, existing product safety frameworks may struggle with post-sale product changes, complex supply chains and harms beyond traditional physical injury. To mitigate risks, policy makers, regulators and businesses could strengthen product safety by design, modernise risk assessments, product safety laws and standards, and provide clearer consumer information on product use and risks. They could also improve incident data collection and cross-border and cross-policy co-operation to prevent regulatory fragmentation and oversight gaps.

Viet Nam is an important participant in the global semiconductor value chain, with a well-established assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) segment supported by longstanding investments from major multinational firms. Viet Nam also benefits from a strong education system, an open trade and investment environment, and a well-established electronics industry. Viet Nam has placed semiconductors high among its policy priorities and can build on this momentum, including by strengthening innovation and research and development (R&D) capabilities, addressing infrastructure bottlenecks, ensuring a sufficient supply of industry-ready talent, improving support for entrepreneurship, particularly in semiconductor design, and effectively implementing a wide-ranging policy reform agenda. This report examines opportunities and challenges for Viet Nam’s semiconductor ecosystem and draws on quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as insights from a diverse group of stakeholders to provide policy recommendations across five key themes: strengthening the business and policy environment, accelerating semiconductor technology, research and innovation, improving the enabling infrastructure for semiconductor development, promoting the development of semiconductor human capital, and supporting entrepreneurship, SMEs, and competitive markets.

Egypt’s higher education system has expanded and diversified substantially in recent years. In the decade leading up to 2023/24, undergraduate enrolment rose to 3.8 million students and the number of universities more than doubled to 100. This expansion has widened educational opportunities and extended provision across the country, but it is also placing pressure on funding, infrastructure, academic staffing and arrangements to maintain and enhance quality. This report examines how Egypt’s higher education system is responding to demographic growth, economic pressures and changing labour market needs. It assesses trends in participation and resources, the conditions for quality teaching and learning, the relevance of education to employment, internationalisation, and the information and guidance available to prospective and current students. It also considers differences in access, study choices and employment outcomes across population groups. Drawing on national and international evidence, stakeholder consultations and comparisons with other countries, the report provides a comprehensive assessment for policymakers, higher education leaders, academic staff, employers and development partners. It is also relevant to other countries seeking to manage rapid growth and diversification in higher education while maintaining quality and supporting positive outcomes for students and graduates.

As international recruitment of workers increases, so does concern over ensuring that workers are protected from exploitation and abuse, and the integrity of labour migration systems is safeguarded. Private recruitment intermediaries have a potential role to play in improving the match between employer demand in OECD destination countries and aspirant labour migrants in origin countries, but oversight of recruitment – and respect for rules on fee-taking, contract transparency and permit conditions – is hard to conduct, especially outside the destination country jurisdiction. This Handbook examines how international recruitment works, and why regulation is complex. It explores the different regulatory options available to OECD countries and their limitations. It then reviews the non-regulatory measures such as voluntary certification and ratings. It looks at OECD experience with regulation of immigration advisers and consultants. The Handbook closes with a survey of practices to provide and collect information and monitor involvement of private recruitment actors.
