Début juillet 2021, plus de 130 pays et juridictions sont parvenus à un accord sur une refonte radicale du système fiscal international. Cet accord vise à faire en sorte que les entreprises multinationales paient une juste part de l’impôt partout où elles exercent des activités. Il actualise des composantes fondamentales d’un système fiscal international presque centenaire qui n’est plus adapté à l’économie mondialisée et numérisée du XXIe siècle. Il entend également limiter la concurrence fiscale en instaurant un impôt minimum sur les sociétés au niveau international.

Dans ce podcast, Pascal Saint-Amans nous aide à prendre la mesure de cette formidable avancée fiscale, et nous en dessine les contours de manière limpide et pédagogique. Il nous y parle également d’environnement, de francophonie et de ce qui l’inspire pour contribuer à changer le monde. Un podcast au dynamisme communicatif - à mettre entre toutes les oreilles !

Révolution dans la fiscalité internationale : la justice fiscale en action – avec Pascal Saint-Amans

The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures in nearly all countries in 2020, with as much as 55 in-person learning days lost for young children and as many as 100 days lost for high school students. The impact of this disproportionately affected those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who were more likely to lack the resources for effective remote learning. The need to strengthen educational opportunities is not new, but the impact of COVID-19 on learning has made this challenge even more pressing. Marie-Helene Doumet, senior analyst for education and skills at the OECD, discusses lessons learned from the pandemic and what governments can do to support equity in education.

Education equity and the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic

The OECD, in partnership with IBM, recently conducted a social media poll, asking young people about how well prepared they feel to join the world of work, how confident they are about their future paths and what concerns them about education and jobs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, the OECD’s Anthony Mann and IBM’s Lydia Logan discuss insights from the poll and why career guidance and real-world work experiences are more important for young people than ever.

Women, climate change & data: why we need to better understand the environment-gender nexus

Misinformation and disinformation have become some of the biggest threats to democracy in the 21st century. It's everywhere from stories of election fraud to vaccines. How can we combat misinformation and disinformation while still protecting freedom of speech? What can governments do to curb myths and disinformation? This podcast is the second in a series on Reinforcing Democracy in partnership with the OECD's Public Governance Directorate. Julio Bacio Terracino,  Head of Public Integrity at the OECD, helps us make sense of the issues and how we can tackle them.

Understanding Social Mobility and Equal Opportunity

Bertrand Piccard est un « savanturier » psychiatre et explorateur. Il a fait le premier tour du monde en ballon en 1999, puis en avion solaire avec l'avion Solar Impulse en 2015-2016. En tant que Président de la Fondation Solar Impulse, il est aussi un « explorateur de solutions » face au plus grand défi de notre temps : le changement climatique. Après avoir survolé la terre, il travaille à sa sauvegarde et démontre que celle-ci est non seulement possible, mais aussi rentable. Il évoque ici des pistes innovantes et concrètes pour avancer : 1 500 solutions efficientes qui sont à la fois écologiques et rentables. Et face à un cadre juridique et réglementaire anachronique qui ne permet pasr toujours de mettre en place ces solutions, il propose 50 recommandations de loi clés en main pour le moderniser.    

Fidèle à l’esprit de pionnier de ses illustres ancêtres, Bertrand Piccard bouscule nos paradigmes et nos certitudes, ces dogmes qui nous font croire que beaucoup de choses sont impossibles. La protection de l'environnement est une aventure enthousiasmante, qui nécessite d'explorer de nouvelles manières de faire et de penser. Nous pouvons devenir les pionniers d’une saine modernité, dès maintenant... C’est ce que Bertrand Piccard démontre ici, avec la rigueur et l’ardeur d’un découvreur.

Protéger l’environnement est possible, rentable et enthousiasmant !  Entretien avec Bertrand Piccard

When governments need to buy anything from office supplies to infrastructure, the process is more complex than your ordinary shopping trip. How do we know that governments are using good judgement when purchasing items or awarding contracts? Who advises governments on these processes to ensure that they are transparent, efficient, and cost effective? That's where MAPS, the methodology for assessing procurement systems, steps in. Diana Viljoen, from Global Affairs Canada and member of the MAPS Technical Advisory Group will answer these questions and more on this podcast. This is the first episode in the series with the MAPS Network.

The MAPS Initiative and why procurement matters

In 2015, the United Nations released the Sustainable Development Goals to help create a more sustainable and equitable world. The 17 goals included procurement systems, calling governments to procure in a more sustainable manner. But how does this actually work? How can governments include sustainability in their procurement systems? And can sustainable public procurement help mitigate the climate crisis? Steven Schooner, Professor of Government Procurement Law at George Washington University, helps us to answer these questions and more on this podcast. This is the second episode in the series with MAPS.

Sustainable public procurement in the midst of the climate crisis

Extreme heat is creating major challenges for cities. The urban “heat island” effect traps cities in a bubble of scorching temperatures, which endangers lives and puts pressure on emergency services and infrastructure. Often the poorest neighbourhoods bear the worst consequences of rising heat waves. Andrew Lombardi discusses how heat exacerbates inequalities in cities and breaks down what cities can do to save lives now and enhance heat resilience through better policies and practices.

Why digitalising procurement systems is the way forward

According to the UN Refugee Agency, more than 100 million people were forcibly displaced in 2022. With Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, Europe has seen the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War with more than 6 million people fleeing Ukraine. This is a big challenge for refugee protection and reception systems. Clearly something public services cannot stem on their own. This is where the social and solidarity economy steps in and steps up to both support governments and fill gaps and public support. This podcast discusses how the social and solidarity economy can fast track the labour-market integration of refugees and migrants.

Can the social economy help refugees access jobs?

Young entrepreneurs have a huge role to play as slow productivity growth, climate change, demographic change and the digital transition come together in a perfect storm for many economies. The new OECD-EU “Missing Entrepreneurs” report finds that if youth (18-29 years old) participated in early-stage entrepreneurship at the same rate as “core age” men (30-49 years old), there would be an additional 3.6 million “missing youth entrepreneurs” in OECD countries. This accounts for about 11% of the total number of “missing entrepreneurs” in the OECD as young people face a range of barriers to success. David Halabisky from the OECD and Anita Tiessen, the CEO of Youth Business International, unwrap issues around money, mindset and motivation for young people in the world of business.

Young entrepreneurs: Money, mindset and motivation

Most people know Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the go to number to evaluate an economy's performance. It is often referenced in the news, sometimes directly, other times implied in discussions of economic recession, recovery or boom. But other indicators, further removed from the limelight, are also vital for economic analysis: for example, Household Disposable Income (HDI) helps us to monitor changes in money that households have available to either spend or save for the future. 
In this episode of OECD Podcasts, Ashley Ward goes behind the numbers to learn how they're compiled, what they're good for, and how they complement each other with the help of the National Accounts Division’s Sofia Sacks Ferrari and Philip Chan.

Host: Ashley Ward, Advisor and Communications Manager (Statistics and Data Directorate).

Guest: Frida Grundhal, Project Co-ordinator, Yalla Trappan.
In this edition of OECD Podcasts, Katrina Baker and Shayne MacLachlan are Joined by Frida Grundahl from Yalla Trappen; a groundbreaking social enterprise dedicated to creating job opportunities and fostering financial independence for Sweden’s foreign-born women. Statistically, foreign-born women are said to be one of the most distant from the labour market and Yalla Trappen is working to empower these women by giving them an opportunity to break down their social isolation, and to help them stand on their own two feet financially.
In their conversation, Shayne and Frida discuss examples of Yalla Trappen’s work and strategies, the struggles of establishing a non-profit in a competitive environment and how Yalla Trappen has partnered with business and local government to crack policy challenges regarding foreign-born women and getting them meaningful employment.

L’emploi à l’ère de l’IA générative—une opportunité pour tous et partout ? – avec Eric Pérès

On a daily basis, we’re faced with a deluge of online content, only swelling further with the mainstreaming of generative AI and rising political polarisation. Improving our joint understanding of how people consume news, and how effectively they distinguish between fact and fiction, is one of the key challenges of our time.  

The OECD Truth Quest Survey implements an innovative methodology to answer this question. With over 40,000 respondents across 21 countries, the survey provides unprecedented insights into media literacy and its implications for global policy making. 

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, our host Ashley Ward is joined by OECD Head of Digital Connectivity, Economics and Society Molly Lesher to discuss the dangers of misinformation, overcoming measurement challenges, and the survey results so far. 

 Explore the work behind this innovative survey and learn how policymakers can use this data to create targeted strategies to fight misinformation.

Winners without medals: The legacy of volunteers

What happens when First Nations take the lead in shaping the future of clean energy and infrastructure in Indigenous communities? In this episode, we hear from Mark Podlasly, CEO of the First Nations Major Projects Coalition (FNMPC) and member of the Nlaka’pamux Nation in British Columbia. He speaks with Sinead Teevan from the OECD about how the coalition is helping First Nations secure ownership in major energy and infrastructure projects. The FNMPC, now representing 175 communities across Canada, focuses on the economic, environmental, and public policy interests of its members.

From the 15-minute city to the 30-minute region: Rethinking how we live and connect

For far too long, healthcare performance indicators have centred on inputs—like funding and infrastructure—or processes—like hospital admissions or waiting times—without adequately capturing the experiences and outcomes of the people receiving care. 

The OECD’s PaRIS Survey upends that dynamic, shining a light on how older people with chronic conditions feel about their care, how healthy they really feel, and how their everyday lives are affected.

The latest figures are now out: with over 107K patients in over 1800 primary care practices across 19 countries, the survey highlights that living longer doesn’t always mean living better, especially if care experiences are poor and chronic conditions aren’t managed in a way that reflects patients needs.

In this episode of the Behind the Numbers podcast, our host Ashley Ward is joined by OECD Health Economists Frederico Guanais and Michael van den Berg to explore the work behind this innovative survey.

Learn how policymakers, healthcare providers, and patients themselves can use these data to drive more people-centred healthcare.

The mystery of stagnating wages. David Weil elucidates.

Work as we know it will never be the same. In fact, it already isn’t the same for some people. According to the OECD, 14% of jobs in OECD countries are highly automatable – another 32% of jobs could be substantially changed in how they’re carried out.

Matthew Taylor discusses some ideas on how to extend the social security net to platform workers and how he thinks the general landscape of employment will evolve. Mr Taylor is the chief executive of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA). His 2017 review on modern employment, "Good Work”,  was commissioned by the UK prime minister.

Robojobs: Matthew Taylor on the future of work

Matsutake mushroom, a beloved Japanese delicacy, grow in what Anna Tsing calls “human-disturbed” environments. They do well in places that have been intensely logged or farmed, for instance. Which makes them model organisms for adverse conditions. Matsutake mushrooms can also teach us a thing or two about ecology and market economies. Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing is professor of anthropology at the University of California in Santa Cruz. She is the author of The Mushroom at the end of the world.  On the possibility of life in capitalist ruins.

Anna Tsing on mushrooms & capitalism

Business-as-usual has become a largely unsustainable system. When economics and the financial industry are driven solely by quarterly earnings growth and GDP, the well-being of most people falls by the wayside. The health of our environment and trust between people are also casualties of growth-only economics. Economist Jeffrey Sachs is the director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He says our economic watch words should be well-being. And do no harm.

Do the right thing, says Jeffrey Sachs

New technologies such as automation and AI are rapidly reshaping our economies and our work. For Stefano Scarpetta, head of the directorate for employment, labour and social affairs at the OECD, these changes aren’t likely to lead to massive, technologically driven unemployment, but rather can bring opportunities if the right policies and support are in place. In order to build an inclusive future of work, governments – together with employers, trade unions and civil society – need to act now. Because if we wait to see exactly how technologies are changing our economies, we’ll always be too late.
