The COVID-19 pandemic brought health statistics into the spotlight, from tracking excess mortality to understanding the financial impact on healthcare systems. But health statistics are just as vital today as they were during the pandemic.
In this episode of Behind the Numbers, Ashley Ward is joined by OECD Head of Health Accounts David Morgan and Policy Analyst Gabriel di Paolantonio to discuss how health data, like expenditure and mortality trends, helps countries benchmark progress, build resilient health systems, and prepare for future crises.
Explore the work behind these datasets, from maintaining cross-country comparability to publishing real-time mortality statistics, and find out why OECD Health Statistics is a trusted resource for researchers and policy-makers alike, worldwide.
Host: Ashley Ward, Advisor and Communications Manager (OECD Statistics and Data Directorate)
Guests: 
- David Morgan, Head of Health Accounts, Health Division, (OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs)
- Gabriel di Paolantonio, Policy Analyst (Secretariat of the International Forum on TOSSD)

Rapossa - Shanti (Goldcap Remix)

Speaker(s): Vince Cable, Howard Davies, Angel Gurria | Now in its 50th year, the OECD has established itself as the leading international economic organisation for socio-economic analysis, best practice policy based on peer review, benchmarking and internationally comparable indicators and statistics. Its achievements have made a major contribution to both economic development within its membership and global economic issues. Bringing together business, think–tanks, academia, government and the media, the seminar will address the economic challenges facing policy makers working to transition the world economy from crisis to a period of strong, sustainable and balanced growth. The seminar will also foster a debate on future challenges that tomorrow’s economic policy makers will face, as the OECD looks forward to the next 50 years. Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:30:00 GMT

OECD at 50, Better Policies for Better Lives: Growth, Skills and Jobs [Audio]

If you’re scratching your head over stuck wages and dwindling job benefits, massive corporate outsourcing is one place to look. David Weil, author of The Fissured Workplace, explains how companies’ use of indirect contractors is one reason wages aren’t going up. David Weil is the Dean and Professor at Brandeis University’s Heller School of Social Policy and Management. He served as US Wage and Hour Administrator at the Department of Labor during the last three years of the Obama administration.
