OECD Publishing is responsible for disseminating the content of the OECD. OECD’s mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world.

Today, 35 OECD member countries worldwide regularly turn to one another to share experiences, identify, discuss and analyse problems, and promote policies to solve them. We don’t just work with governments, but also with business, labour, academia, and other civil society organisations to understand what drives economic, social and environmental change. We analyse and compare data to predict future trends and we set international standards on numerous issues, from the safety of chemicals to the quality of fruits and vegetables.

We look at issues that directly affect the lives of ordinary people, like how much people pay in taxes and social security. We compare how different countries’ school systems are preparing their youth for modern life, and how different countries’ pension systems will support their citizens in old age. This information is published in books, journals and data services - all of which are available via our global knowledge base, the OECD iLibrary (www.oecd-ilibrary.org).

The OECD is one of the most innovative publishers in it field, and one of the most prolific and reliable sources of internationally comparable economic and social data.

OECD Core Values: Objective: Our analyses and recommendations are independent and evidence-based.

Open: We encourage debate and a shared understanding of critical global issues.

Bold: We dare to challenge conventional wisdom starting with our own.

Pioneering: We identify and address emerging and long-term challenges.

Ethical: Our credibility is built on trust, integrity and transparency.

How’s Life? describes the essential ingredients that shape people’s well-being in OECD and partner countries. It includes a wide variety of statistics, capturing both material well-being (such as income, jobs and housing) and the broader quality of people’s lives (such as their health, education, work-life balance, environment, social connections, civic engagement, subjective well-being and safety). The report documents the latest evidence on wellbeing, as well as changes over time, and the distribution of well-being outcomes among different groups of the population.

How’s Life? is part of the OECD Better Life Initiative, which features a series of publications on measuring well-being, as well as the Better Life Index (www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org), an interactive website that aims to involve citizens in the debate about what a better life means to them.

OECD Insights is a series of reader-friendly books that use OECD analysis and data to introduce some of today’s most pressing social and economic issues. They are written for non-specialist readers, including interested laypeople, high school and university students.

The books use straightforward language, avoid technical terms, and illustrate theory with real-world examples. They also feature statistics drawn from OECD’s unique collection of internationally comparable data. Online, a number of special features enhances each book’s educational potential.

Complexity and Policy making The OECD’s New Approaches to Economic Challenges initiative invited experts from inside and outside the Organisation to discuss complexity theory as a means to better understand the interconnected nature of the trends and influences shaping our socio-economic environment.

Their contributions, brought together here, examine the assumptions, strengths and shortcomings of traditional models, and propose a way to build new ones that would take into account factors such as psychology, history and culture neglected by these models. The authors concentrate on the discipline of economics as such; the financial system; and applications of complexity theory to policy making and governance. They argue that a new narrative is needed to integrate the hopes, values, attitudes and behaviours of people into economics along with the facts and data economists are more used to dealing with.

OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2017-2026

July 2017, 150 pages ISBN 978-92-64-27547-8 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/agr_outlook-2017-en €65 $78 £52 ¥8 400

The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2017-2026 provides an assessment of prospects for the coming decade of the national, regional and global agricultural commodity markets across 41 countries and 12 regions, including OECD countries (European Union as a region) and other key agricultural producers, such as India, China, Brazil, the Russian Federation and Argentina among others. This year's special feature focuses on the prospects and challenges of the agricultural sector in Southeast Asia. This edition marks the thirteenth year of partnership between the two organisations. Over the ten year Outlook period, agricultural markets are projected to remain weak, with growth in China weakening and biofuel policies having less impact on markets than in the past. Future growth in crop production will be attained mostly by increasing yields, and growth in meat and dairy production from both higher animal stocks and improved yields. Real prices are expected to remain flat or decline for most commodities. Agricultural trade is expected to grow more slowly, but remain less sensitive to weak economic conditions than other sectors.

Countries covered: The 2017 report contains a special feature on the prospects for, and challenges facing, Southeast Asia.

Water Risk Hotspots for Agriculture

September 2017, 180 pages ISBN 978-92-64-27954-4 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264279551-en â‚Ź35 $42 ÂŁ28 ÂĽ4 500

Agriculture is expected to face increasing water risks that will impact production, markets, trade and food security - risks that can be mitigated with targeted policy actions on water hotspots. China, India and the United States are identified as countries facing the greatest water risks for agriculture production globally. This report develops the hotspot approach, provides an application at the global scale, and presents a mitigation policy action plan.

A global simulation shows that, in the absence of action, water risks in Northeast China, Northwest India and the Southwest United States in particular could have significant production, price and trade consequences. Agriculture water risks could also result in broader socio-economic and food security concerns. Farmers, agro food companies, and governments can all play a role in responding to water risks at hotspot locations. A three-tier policy action plan is proposed to confront water risk hotspots, encompassing targeted responses, adapted national policies, strengthened market integration and international collaboration.

Starting Strong V Transitions from Early Childhood Education and Care to Primary Education

June 2017, 296 pages ISBN 978-92-64-27623-9 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264276253-en €50 $60 £40 ¥6500

The transition from early childhood education to primary school is a big step for all children, and a step which more and more children are having to take. Quality transitions should be well-prepared and child-centred, managed by trained staff collaborating with one another, and guided by an appropriate and aligned curriculum. Transitions like these enhance the likelihood that the positive impacts of early learning and care will last through primary school and beyond. While transition policies have been on the agenda of many countries over the past decade, little research has been done into how OECD countries design, implement, manage and monitor transitions. Filling these gaps is important for designing early years’ policies that are coherent, equitable and sustainable.

This report takes stock of and compares the situation across 30 OECD and partner countries, drawing on in-depth country reports and a questionnaire on transition policies and practices.

It focuses on the organisation and governance of transitions; and the policies and strategies to ensure professional, pedagogical and developmental continuity between early childhood education and care settings and schools. The report describes the main policy challenges highlighted by participating countries, along with a wealth of practical strategies for tackling them. The publication concludes with six “cross-cutting” pointers to guide future policy development.

Countries covered: 30 OECD and partner countries (Brazil, India, Indonesia, the People's Republic of China and South Africa).

Starting Strong 2017 Key OECD Indicators on Early Childhood Education and Care

June 2017, 192 pages ISBN 978-92-64-27610-9 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264276116-en €24 $29 £19 ¥3100

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) can help lay the foundations for future skills development, well-being and learning. Having timely, reliable and comparable international information is essential to help countries improve their ECEC services and systems. For over 15 years, the OECD has been conducting policy analysis and gathering new data on ECEC. For the first time, this report brings together all the key ECEC indicators in one volume. It presents an exhaustive overview of ECEC systems and provision as well as trend data and information on recent reforms. The report takes a hard look at issues such as access and governance, equity, financing, curriculum, the teaching workforce and parent engagement.

Key challenges for improving the ECEC sector are identified.

With around 45 charts and data for the 35 OECD countries and a number of partner countries, the publication also includes a great deal of new material. It offers new data on ECEC provision and intensity of participation for children under the age of three (based on an improved typology of settings). It also presents new indicators on the profile of ECEC staff (e.g. level of qualification, teacher salary and organisation of working time) and on equity in access to ECEC. New PISA 2015 analyses help highlight the relationship between the number of years of ECEC and academic performance at age 15, and the effects of ECEC attendance on health and well-being, and mothers’ employability.

Countries covered: the 35 OECD countries and a number of partner countries.

PISA 2015 Results The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines not just what students know in science, reading and mathematics, but what they can do with their knowledge. Results from PISA show educators and policy makers the quality and equity of learning outcomes achieved elsewhere, and allow them to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries.

Vol I: PISA 2015 Results: Excellence and Equity in Education (Jan 2017) The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines not just what students know in science, reading and mathematics, but what they can do with what they know. Results from PISA show educators and policy makers the quality and equity of learning outcomes achieved elsewhere, and allow them to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. PISA 2015 Results (Volume I): Excellence and Equity in Education, is one of five volumes that present the results of the PISA 2015 survey, the sixth round of the triennial assessment. It summarises student performance in science, reading and mathematics, and defines and measures equity in education. It focuses on students’ attitudes towards learning science, including their expectations of working in science-related careers.

The volume also discusses how performance and equity have evolved across PISAparticipating countries and economies over recent years.

Results from PISA show educators and policy makers the quality and equity of learning outcomes achieved elsewhere, and allow them to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. PISA 2015 Results (Volume II): Policies and Practices for Successful Schools, is one of five volumes that present the results of the PISA 2015 survey, the sixth round of the triennial assessment. It examines how student performance is associated with various characteristics of individual schools and school systems, including the resources allocated to education, the learning environment and how school systems select students into different schools, programmes and classes.

Vol III: PISA 2015 Results: Students' Well-Being (Jun 2017) The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines not just what students know in science, reading and mathematics, but what they can do with what they know. Results from PISA show educators and policy makers the quality and equity of learning outcomes achieved elsewhere, and allow them to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. PISA 2015 Results (Volume III): Students’ Well-Being, is one of five volumes that present the results of the PISA 2015 survey, the sixth round of the triennial assessment. It explores a comprehensive set of well-being indicators for adolescents that covers both negative outcomes (e.g. anxiety, low performance) and the positive impulses that promote healthy development (e.g. interest, engagement, motivation to achieve).

Children spend a considerable amount of time in the classroom: following lessons, socialising with classmates, and interacting with teachers and other staff members. What happens in school – as well as at home – is therefore key to understanding whether students enjoy good physical and mental health, how happy and satisfied they are with different aspects of their life, how connected to others they feel, and the aspirations they have for their future.

Rights available in all languages Vol IV: PISA 2015 Results: Students’ Financial Literacy (Jun 2017) This volume examines 15-year-old students’ financial literacy: the knowledge and skills needed to make sound financial decisions and plan for the future. It aims to answer the question: How well-prepared are students to participate in the new financial systems that are becoming more global and complex? The report explores the relationship between financial literacy and student background, including students’ socio-economic status and immigrant background, and students’ experience with and attitudes towards money. It also discusses some of the specific policies that countries are implementing with the aim of improving students’ financial literacy.

Vol V: PISA 2015 Results: Collaborative Problem Solving (Nov 2017) Much of the problem-solving work carried out in the world today is performed by teams in an increasingly global and computerised economy. How well do 15-year-old students work in groups to solve problems and achieve pre-set goals? The PISA 2015 computerbased assessment of collaborative problem solving uses scenarios with which 15-yearolds are likely to be familiar in order to measure their ability to collaborate with others. Students are expected to be proficient in skills such as communicating, managing conflict, organising a team, building consensus and managing progress. This is the first time PISA has assessed students’ ability to collaborate to solve problems. Countries covered: OECD countries and PISA participating countries (Cambodia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Senegal, Zambia)

Resilience of Migrant Students

January 2018, 350 pages

The report aims to provide evidence to countries, local governments and education practitioners on the factors and initiatives that help immigrant students develop academically, socially and emotionally. The report classifies countries according to their ability to promote the overall well-being of immigrant students, considering differences across countries in the make-up of their immigrant student population, including, for example, socio-economic conditions and language barriers. The study shifts the focus from a deficit model of immigrant students (in which immigrant students are perceived as a liability for host communities) to a model that recognises the potential of individual students (whereby their abilities are recognised and interventions are designed to enable them to become assets to their host communities).

Educational Opportunity for All November 2017, 100 pages

Equitable educational opportunities can help to promote long-lasting, inclusive economic growth and social cohesion. Successful education and skills policies can empower individuals reach their full potential and enjoy the fruits of their labour, regardless of their circumstances at birth. However, as this report shows, far too many children, students and adults from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds fall behind. In many countries, substantial learning gaps exist between students at opposite ends of the socio-economic scale, and these differences tend to increase in the transition into adulthood. All countries have ample room for improvement to ensure better learning outcomes for all. Early childhood education has been identified as an important element in future success, and requires investment, as do family and community-based support and programmes for children from families that have not attained a high level of education and skills. In the schools, targeted support is necessary for low performers from disadvantaged backgrounds and for poorly performing schools. As for the adult population, learning should be focused on improving employability, through a combination of education and practical job training. Barriers to participation in learning need to be removed, and delivery methods need to be more innovative and flexible. Targeted support is needed for the most vulnerable members of society.

Gender Gaps: How Much Longer?

October 2017, pages 240

Gender inequalities persist in all areas of social and economic life and across countries.

Young women in OECD countries generally obtain higher levels of educational attainment than young men, but they are still less likely to study in the lucrative science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Women are also less likely than men to engage in paid work. In fact, gender gaps employment typically increase with age as motherhood typically has marked negative effects on workforce participation, pay, and career advancement.

The OECD Gender Recommendations that were adopted in 2013 and 2015 provide guidance on how to advance gender equality in education, employment, entrepreneurship and public life. Since their passage the policy debate on gender inequality has intensified and in a recent OECD survey countries identified ths violence against women, the gender wage gap, and the unequal sharing of unpaid work as three priority gender inequality issues. Policy is moving to strengthen laws and regulations on sexual harassment, pay transparency to reduce wage gaps, and incentivise fathers to take parental leave and take on more care work. However, given the prevailing gaps, much remains to be done and policy development should reflect a sense of urgency as it would otherwise take many years to close gender gaps in education, employment, entrepreneurship and public life.

Energy Technology Perspectives 2017

July 2017, 443 pages ISBN 978-92-64-27050-3 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/energy_tech-2017-en €150 $180 £120 ¥19500

The global energy system is moving closer to a historic transformation. This year’s edition of the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s comprehensive publication on energy technology focuses on the opportunities and challenges of scaling and accelerating the deployment of clean energy technologies. This includes looking at more ambitious scenarios than the IEA has produced before.

For the first time, ETP 2017 looks at how far clean energy technologies could move the energy sector towards higher climate change ambitions if technological innovations were pushed to their maximum practical limits. The analysis shows that, while policy support would be needed beyond anything seen to date, such a push could result in greenhouse gas emission levels that are consistent with the mid-point of the target temperature range of the global Paris Agreement on climate change. The analysis also indicates that regardless of the pathway chosen for the energy sector transformation, policy action is needed to ensure that multiple economic, security and other benefits to the accelerated deployment of clean energy technologies are realised through a systematic and co-ordinated approach.

ETP 2017 also features the annual IEA Tracking Clean Energy Progress report, which shows that the current progress in clean energy technology development and deployment remains sub-optimal.

The OECD Business and Finance Outlook is an annual publication that presents unique data and analysis that looks at what might affect and change, both favourably and unfavourably, tomorrow’s world of business, finance and investment. Using analysis from a wide range of perspectives, this year’s edition addresses some forces influencing economic developments that have contributed to recent surprises in elections and referendums. A common theme of these surprises has been voter discontent with globalisation and immigration that are perceived to be causes of unemployment and falling living standards for substantial segments of society in a number of OECD countries.

This Outlook’s focus is on ways to enhance “fairness”, in the sense of strengthening global governance, to ensure a level playing field in trade, investment and corporate behaviour, through the setting and better enforcement of global standards. A brief review of important developments contributing to post-war globalisation is provided and a number of policy domains are covered. These include exchange rates and capital account management, financial regulation since the global financial crisis, the rising weight of state-owned enterprises in the world economy, competition policy to deal with international cartels, the cost of raising capital, responsible business conduct and bribery and corruption.

OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administration 2017

July 2017, 608 pages ISBN 978-92-64-26273-7 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/tpg-2017-en €120 $144 £96 ¥15 600

The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprise and Tax Administrations provide guidance on the application of the “arm’s length principle”, which is the international consensus on transfer pricing, i.e. on the valuation for tax purposes of cross-border transactions between associated enterprises. In a global economy where multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a prominent role, transfer pricing continues to be high on the agenda of tax administrations and taxpayers alike. Governments need to ensure that the taxable profits of MNEs are not artificially shifted out of their jurisdiction and that the tax base reported by MNEs in their country reflects the economic activity undertaken therein. For taxpayers, it is essential to limit the risks of economic double taxation that may result from a dispute between two countries on the determination of the arm’s length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with associated enterprises.

In 2016 these Guidelines were substantially revised in order to reflect the clarifications and revisions agreed in the 2015 BEPS Reports on Actions 8-10 Aligning Transfer pricing Outcomes with Value Creation and on Action 13 Transfer Pricing Documentation and Country-by-Country Reporting. Consistency changes were made to the rest of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines.

In a globalised world, where goods cross borders many times as intermediate and as final products, trade facilitation is essential to lowering overall trade costs and increasing economic welfare, in particular for developing and emerging economies.

Facilitation efforts undertaken by various countries around the world also show that the benefits of such measures clearly compensate the costs and challenges posed by their implementation.

The ITF Transport Outlook provides an overview of recent trends and near-term prospects for the transport sector at a global level, as well as long-term prospects for transport demand to 2050, for freight (maritime, air and surface), passenger transport (car, rail and air) and CO2 emissions. This edition looks at how the main policy, economic and technological changes since 2015, along with other international developments (such as the Sustainable Development Goals), are shaping the future of mobility, and presents alternative policy scenarios for long-term trends in transport demand and CO2 emissions from all transport modes, freight and passenger. A special focus on accessibility in cities also highlights the role of policies in shaping sustainable transport systems that provide equal access to all.
