Good Jobs for All in a Changing World of Work
The OECD Jobs Strategy
The digital revolution, globalisation and demographic changes are transforming labour
markets at a time when policy makers are also struggling with persistently slow productivity
and wage growth and high levels of income inequality. The new OECD Jobs Strategy provides
a comprehensive framework and detailed policy analysis and recommendations to help
countries promote not only strong job creation but also foster job quality and inclusiveness
as central policy priorities, while emphasising the importance of resilience and adaptability
for good economic and labour market performance in a rapidly changing world of work.
The key message is that flexibility-enhancing policies in product and labour markets
are necessary but not sufficient. Policies and institutions that protect workers,
foster inclusiveness and allow workers and firms to make the most of ongoing changes
are also needed to promote good and sustainable outcomes.
“The OECD’s latest Jobs Strategy is a smart and sensible updating and rethinking of
how countries should advance the goal of shared prosperity. I hope policymakers around
the world not only read it but take its important advice.”
Jason Furman, Professor Harvard Kennedy School and former Chairman of President Obama’s
Council of Economic Advisers
“Inequality, economic insecurity, economic exclusion, are making the headlines. Anger
is high, populist rhetoric is on the rise. What can be done? What strategies to
adopt? These are the challenging questions taken up by the new OECD Jobs Strategy
report. I hope the report triggers the very serious discussions these issues deserve.”
Olivier Blanchard, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute, Emeritus Professor at
MIT and former Chief Economist of the IMF
