Non‑compete and related clauses in Canada
Sera disponible le 13 Juillet 2026
Langue: anglais
Pages: 23
This paper provides new evidence on the prevalence and potential effects of non-compete and related clauses in Canada using OECD surveys of workers and firms. It finds that these clauses are widespread, increasingly used, and often applied beyond roles where they are most justified. Many appear overly broad and legally weak, yet a substantial share of workers report having been prevented from changing jobs or starting a business. Their impact is reinforced by behavioural factors, including reputational and ethical concerns. The findings also bring into closer focus the use of (firm-to-firm) no-poaching and wage fixing agreements that restrict labour market competition and, thus, raise broader concerns for the Canadian Competition Bureau.

Colombia joined the OECD in 2020, bringing to a successful conclusion an accession process that began in 2013. During the accession process, Colombia made important reforms and progress in the area of labour market and social policies, converging towards OECD best policies and practices. However, the OECD invited the Colombian government to continue its reform agenda in four areas in particular: (1) labour informality and subcontracting; (2) labour law enforcement; (3) collective bargaining; and (4) crimes against trade unionists. This report is the OECD’s third post accession assessment.

Cost‑effective Active Labour Market Policies
Considering employment and social outcomes
Sera disponible le 13 Juillet 2026
Langue: anglais
Pages: 72
While the primary purpose of Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) is to improve labour market outcomes, these policies are increasingly expected to additionally address social barriers that hinder labour market integration of those furthest from work. All such effects need to be taken into account to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ALMPs credibly and comprehensively, and thus guide investments into ALMPs in the context of increasing fiscal pressures across the OECD and the EU. This paper maps the integration of social outcomes goals into ALMPs across OECD and EU countries. It reveals significant gaps in countries’ capacity to link data on social outcomes with data from unemployment registers, systematically monitor and conduct counterfactual impact evaluations (CIE) and comprehensive cost-benefit analyses (CBA) considering social outcomes. Strengthening data infrastructure and expanding CIE and CBA to include social outcomes are essential to better understand the full value of ALMPs and support evidence-based policymaking.

Assessing risks to fiscal policy
Calibrating stochastic debt sustainability analysis models
Sera disponible le 13 Juillet 2026
Langue: anglais
Pages: 40
Stochastic debt sustainability analysis (SDSA) is a key tool for assessing risks in modern fiscal policymaking. Yet, designing and calibrating these models poses significant challenges. Using a panel of up to 24 OECD countries with data spanning from 1980, this paper argues that pooling data across countries provides a more representative reflection of fiscal risks, effectively extends sample periods, and a trend-cycle approach better accounts for structural changes. The choice of calibration method is policy relevant as it substantially alters the required primary balance adjustments to stabilise the debt ratio implied by the models. Given that real-time macroeconomic risks are skewed to the downside during economic upswings, the paper proposes a state-contingent (SC-SDSA) approach conditioned on contemporaneous output gap estimates. This suggests that risks are greater during economic booms than conventional approaches and that larger structural primary balances are required than in normal times to ensure adequate fiscal buffers.

Adaptive communal space in cities
Sera disponible le 15 Juillet 2026
Auteur: OCDE
Langue: anglais
Pages: 32
This paper examines the role of adaptive communal space (ACS) in supporting resilient, adaptable and community-oriented urban development. ACS refers to (semi-)public spaces collectively shaped, managed and used by local communities to respond to evolving local needs. Examples of ACS include community gardens, cultural and creative hubs, or spaces for circular economy initiatives. Drawing on interviews, survey responses and comparative literature, the paper argues that ACS represents a shift from exclusively top-down service delivery towards shared stewardship and local problem-solving. It identifies six areas through which ACS can contribute to better urban outcomes: social connectivity, environmental management and resource efficiency, economic opportunities, cultural activity, temporal adaptability and institutional flexibility. The paper highlights that the effectiveness and continuity of ACS depend less on spatial form than on enabling institutional conditions, including legal certainty, effective governance, financial capacity and policy co-ordination. It concludes with ways forward for policymakers to strengthen local governance capacity, safeguard access to space, support experimentation and encourage adaptive collaboration across sectors and levels of government.

The spectrum of regulatory models and its application to the digital economy
Sera disponible le 15 Juillet 2026
Langue: anglais
Pages: 63
Policymakers regulating the digital economy face a difficult question: not only whether to intervene, but how to do so proportionately, balancing innovation against fast-evolving risks. This paper helps navigate that choice. It develops a methodology positioning regulatory models on a spectrum – from command-and-control, through performance-based regulation, market-based mechanisms and co-regulation, to different forms of self-regulation – categorised by their flexibility and the roles public and private actors play across the regulatory process. This enables structured comparison, clarifies trade-offs, and supports design of blended approaches combining different models. The paper offers criteria for model selection based on impact on innovation, market and private actor characteristics, and public institutional readiness. Applied to the digital economy, it finds that governments increasingly rely on blended models, with public actors retaining responsibility for setting regulatory objectives, while delegating the means of achieving them and regulatory delivery to private actors, under public oversight and accountability.

MNE Responses to the Global Minimum Tax
Sera disponible le 15 Juillet 2026 à 11:00 CET
Langue: anglais
Pages: 47
This paper provides an early empirical, ex post assessment of how MNEs have responded to the introduction of the Global Minimum Tax (GMT). The GMT, implemented in 2024, represents a fundamental change in international taxation. The paper analyses the realised responses of MNEs exploiting the EUR 750 million threshold to identify causal effects. Specifically, the paper uses group level financial and ownership data from the Orbis database and implements a difference in differences strategy that compares MNEs just above and below the scope defining revenue threshold. The paper evaluates whether the GMT has affected MNE effective tax rates, investment, and employment, and whether firms adjusted their behaviour in anticipation of the reform. The paper includes heterogeneity analysis to assess which company types and sectors drive the results. Finally, the paper uses the analysis on the impact of ETRs to estimate the potential revenues raised by the GMT in its first year of introduction.

Bridging the Gaps for Sustainable Development
Coherent Policies for Water, Energy, Industry and Cities
Sera disponible le 15 Juillet 2026 à 17:00 CET
Auteur: OCDE
Langue: anglais
Pages: 94
Progress on sustainable development is slowing as pressures linked to climate change, resource constraints, urbanisation and economic uncertainty increasingly intersect. At the same time, governments face tighter fiscal conditions and declining official development assistance, making fragmented policies on water, energy, industry and cities increasingly costly. When policies are designed and delivered in isolation, they weaken impact, increase trade-offs and generate spillovers that undermine results at home and abroad.
This report examines how disconnected policies are constraining progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and why more coherent action is essential in the current global context. Drawing on OECD analysis and country experience, it shows how better alignment across sectors and levels of government can help governments manage trade offs, reduce systemic risks and address cross border spillovers, while making more effective use of limited public resources.
The report is aimed at policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders working on sustainable development, climate action, infrastructure and urban policy. It highlights how policy coherence for sustainable development supports clearer prioritisation, better sequencing of action and stronger alignment of decisions over time, helping governments deliver more effective and credible public action towards 2030 and beyond.

Governments face complex, cross-cutting and fast-moving challenges that require effective co-ordination across policy areas, clear prioritisation, and enhanced delivery capacity at the centre of government (CoG). This report examines how CoGs steer and guide the delivery of strategic priorities across government. Drawing on applied examples from Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Poland, and Portugal, it explores how CoGs can align institutional structures, planning processes, and analytical capabilities with government objectives.
The report examines the functions of CoGs across three dimensions in these six countries. First, it assesses how the centre supports efforts to align the machinery of government with government priorities. Second, it examines how CoGs support planning and address persistent challenges such as fragmented strategies, few links to resources, and limited hierarchies among initiatives. Third, it analyses the capabilities needed for effective coordination and policy development.
The findings underscore the role of CoGs as strategic advisors, bridging political and administrative spheres through collaboration with ministries. The report provides practical examples and policy options on the core roles and functions of centres of government.

Private Finance Mobilisation Report 2026
Sera disponible le 22 Juillet 2026
Auteur: OCDE
Langue: anglais
Pages: 66
As public budgets tighten and development needs grow, private finance mobilised through public resources has become a central pillar of sustainable development efforts. This report provides the most comprehensive and internationally comparable evidence to date on how mobilisation supports sustainable development outcomes.
Drawing on OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) statistics, the report analyses recent trends in private finance mobilisation across regions, sectors, instruments and providers. It highlights where mobilisation has increased, where progress has stalled, and which markets and sectors continue to face persistent financing gaps. The analysis shows that while mobilisation volumes have grown over time, results remain concentrated in a limited number of instruments, providers and countries, raising important questions about scalability and effectiveness.
The report emphasises the importance of improving the quality, transparency and targeting of mobilisation efforts. It sheds light on which financial instruments tend to mobilise the most private capital, where risk-sharing remains insufficient, and how public resources can be used more strategically to crowd in private investment. The report is intended for policymakers, development finance institutions and partners seeking evidence-based insights to strengthen mobilisation approaches and ensure that scarce public resources deliver meaningful development impact.

Southeast Asia’s development trajectory is closely intertwined with its blue economy – a diverse range of economic activities reliant on and non-market ecosystem services provided by the region’s rich coastal, marine, and freshwater resources. However, as highlighted in the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework, the overarching policy guiding Southeast Asia’s blue economy priorities, adequate and effective finance and investment are essential for the region to realise the potential of the blue economy for sustainable development. A key consideration is the need to move beyond excessive reliance on development assistance towards longer-term financing solutions, particularly in light of increasing pressures on international public finance. To support this shift and the implementation of the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework, this report assesses the current landscape of development assistance for the blue economy in Southeast Asia and examines the range of financial sources and instruments that can be leveraged to advance sustainable blue economy financing in the region.

The Lobito Corridor links Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to global markets through the Atlantic port of Lobito. Built on modernised rail infrastructure, it aims to improve trade efficiency, diversify export routes and strengthen regional integration. Taking advantage of the increasing demand for critical minerals, the corridor could reinforce the region’s role in global supply chains while supporting broader trade, investment and economic diversification.
This report assesses how increased mining and transport activity along the corridor can translate into durable economic growth. It analyses how rail and logistics integration may shape freight demand and corridor performance to 2050, and identifies risks which may alter the overall contribution of the corridor to local economies (spanning base erosion and profit shifting in mineral supply chains, adverse impacts derived from the construction and operation of the corridor, and risks in the mineral supply chains).
Bringing together tax, transport and responsible business conduct perspectives, the report identifies the conditions needed to secure fair revenues, strengthen supply chain resilience and convert infrastructure investment into long term, inclusive growth"

A Conceptual Foundation for the Development of a Lifelong Learning Measurement Framework
Sera disponible le 28 Juillet 2026
Auteur: OCDE
Langue: anglais
Pages: 105
This report proposes a conceptual framework for measuring lifelong learning (LLL) aimed at improving policy design and evaluation. Lifelong learning is understood as learning across the life course and diverse contexts. The report identifies key limitations in current data systems, including narrow age coverage, lack of longitudinal tracking, overemphasis on labour-market outcomes, and insufficient measurement of informal learning.
To address these gaps, the framework is structured around three interconnected pillars: demand, supply, and coordination. Demand captures learning needs at individual, organisational, and societal levels; supply maps opportunities across formal education, workplaces, welfare systems, and communities; and coordination focuses on mechanisms that align needs with provision. The framework also redefines learning by introducing a two-dimensional model based on formalisation and digitalisation, better capturing hybrid and emerging forms.
Finally, it outlines practical steps for implementation, including improved surveys, longitudinal data linkages, administrative data integration, skills passports, and advanced analytics to support more comprehensive and effective lifelong learning systems.
The report will be of interest to education policy makers, whether interested in formal education or adult learning, to statisticians as well as other education stakeholders.

Langue: anglais
Pages: 171
Manufacturing is a cornerstone of global economic value creation, both through its direct contributions to output and employment and through its role in driving technological diffusion and productivity spillovers across sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in industrial ecosystems, generating a substantial share of manufacturing value added and employment across OECD economies. Yet the sector is undergoing rapid transformation. Digitalisation, rising sustainability requirements, and growing supply chain vulnerabilities are reshaping the competitive landscape at an unprecedented pace, presenting SMEs with both new opportunities and significant adjustment challenges.
This report examines these dynamics in three key manufacturing sectors: automotive, electronics (semiconductor) and machinery, where SMEs play an important role but face distinct transformation pathways. It highlights emerging policy approaches to better integrate SMEs into new industrial strategies, including ecosystem-based policy approaches that strengthen collaboration across local and global supply chains, place-based initiatives that support skills development and technology diffusion, and simplified access to industrial programmes to ensure SMEs can participate fully in innovation and transition efforts.

This report presents the second OECD overview of countries’ progress in governing critical risks over the period 2017–2023, based on the 2014 OECD Recommendation on the Governance of Critical Risks. Drawing on a cross-country survey of 34 countries, it examines how governments have strengthened their capacity to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and learn from major shocks with national consequences.
The report shows that most countries have continued to make progress in implementing the Recommendation and have used it to shape new policy initiatives, revise national strategies, and adapt institutional arrangements. However, progress remains uneven across countries and across different aspects of risk governance. The COVID-19 pandemic, alongside other large-scale crises, severely tested national systems and highlighted persistent gaps in managing complex, fast-moving, and cross-border risks. Leading practices are found in countries where the rapidly evolving security context is reflected in country risk profiles and a whole-of-society approach to risk management incorporates actions to preserve social cohesion.

Shortages of medical products have become more frequent and more protracted over the past decade, driven by structural supply chain vulnerabilities, increasing global interdependencies and the concentration of manufacturing of key inputs. At the same time, governments need to prepare for potential future emergencies. Yet policymakers lack timely and comprehensive information on where critical medical inputs are produced, how supply networks are organised across borders, or where bottlenecks may emerge.
This report strengthens the evidence base on supply chain vulnerabilities for selected medical products relevant to public health emergencies. It maps the supply chains of three critical products (injectable systemic corticosteroids, seasonal influenza vaccines and influenza RT-PCR diagnostic tests), examining market structures, demand patterns, and upstream and downstream production. The analysis highlights data limitations, market structure, and dependency issues that affect the resilience of medical supply chains for critical medical products.
The report also explores how international co-operation initiatives and improved supply chain monitoring could support more secure supply of medical products, with a particular focus on the European Union.

State ownership can entail risks both at the enterprise and portfolio levels. This report explores how governments can move beyond fragmented, enterprise-level approaches to build a consolidated understanding of risks across their state-owned enterprise (SOE) portfolios and inform strategic portfolio management. It examines relevant risks affecting SOE portfolios, including financial, operational, sustainability, and corruption and integrity-related risks, as well their potential interlinkages. The report also considers how risk management can be integrated into ownership steering, oversight and performance monitoring moving beyond a narrow compliance exercise. Building on international standards and selected case studies, it outlines the key elements for the design and implementation of portfolio level risk management frameworks that can be adapted to different institutional settings and ownership models.

Auteurs: OCDE, Banque asiatique de développement
Langue: anglais
Pages: 1
This paper provides guidance to the Philippines on the development of its 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 and funded by the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific. The project supports the Department of Education in strengthening the country’s student assessment system. The paper reviews the strengths and challenges of the current assessment system, focusing on national standardised assessments, national examinations and centrally developed classroom-based assessments. It concludes with recommendations to support the further development and implementation of the National Basic Education Assessment Framework. These efforts aim to support the rationalisation of the assessment landscape and the establishment of a coherent set of high-quality student assessments that generate reliable information to inform policy decisions and support improvements in teaching and learning. The paper may also be of interest to other countries seeking to strengthen their student assessment systems.

SME Policy Index for Western Balkans and Türkiye 2026 – Economy Profile for Türkiye
Sera disponible le 22 Septembre 2026 à 09:00 CET
Auteur: OCDE
Langue: anglais
Pages: 218
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) underpin the economies of the Western Balkans and Türkiye, accounting for the majority of employment and value added. Their competitiveness and resilience are therefore central to sustainable growth and economic convergence with the European Union.
Yet SMEs operate in an increasingly demanding environment shaped by global uncertainty, the digital and green transitions, and demographic change. While these shifts create opportunities, they also expose persistent weaknesses—including fragmented policy frameworks, limited greening, uneven digital adoption and skills gaps—that constrain firm-level resilience and adaptability. Addressing these challenges requires policies that not only support growth, but strengthen enterprises’ capacity to anticipate shocks, adapt to changing market conditions and sustain performance over time.
The seventh edition of the SME Policy Index for the Western Balkans and Türkiye provides a comprehensive assessment of SME policy progress since 2022, based on the OECD’s established methodology and aligned with OECD and EU good practices. It identifies achievements, remaining gaps and actionable recommendations to strengthen policy effectiveness.
This economy profile assesses performance across 13 policy dimensions and examine progress through four thematic policy clusters. A companion regional profile synthesises shared trends, common challenges and cross-cutting priorities across the seven participating economies.
