In the face of what has increasingly been referred to as an ongoing “permacrisis”, governments must cope with and respond to emerging threats while already grappling with longstanding issues such as climate change, digital disruption and low levels of trust. In this context, understanding new approaches and spreading successful ideas has never been more important. To promote this, the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) has analysed 1 084 innovative initiatives from 94 countries to derive and understand novel government practices. The report discusses four key trends: 1) new forms of accountability for a new era of government, 2) new approaches to care, 3) new methods for preserving identities and strengthening equity and 4) new ways of engaging citizens and residents. Ten case studies and dozens of supporting examples illustrate these trends.
Trend 3: New methods for preserving identities and strengthening equity
This chapter introduces the trend on new methods for preserving identities and strengthening equity. It highlights the pressures of globalization on increasing inequalities, particularly of Indigenous communities and the ways in which governments are developing inclusive, data-driven efforts to counter challenges and ensure rights, interests, identities and values are respected. Finally, the chapter provides practical examples and global case studies to help governments and their partners identify and develop innovative strategies to address the rising cost-of-living, unemployment, lack of adequate housing and homelessness, crime, rising poverty, gender discrimination, inequalities in the gig economy and ensure respect of workers’ rights.
