Canada’s Constitution Act (1982) recognises three Indigenous groups: Indians (now referred to as First Nations), Inuit, and Métis. Indigenous peoples make a vital contribution to the culture, heritage and economic development of Canada. Despite improvements in Indigenous well-being in recent decades, significant gaps remain with the non-Indigenous population. This study focuses on four priority issues to maximise the potential of Indigenous economies in Canada. First, improving the quality of the statistical framework and the inclusion of Indigenous peoples in the governance of data. Second, measures to improve the fairness and transparency for how Indigenous peoples can secure land tenure and the use of tools and such as land use planning to use it to promote community economic development. Third, promoting entrepreneurship so Indigenous peoples can use assets and resources in ways that align with their objectives for development. Fourth, implementing an approach to governance that adapts policies to places, and empowers Indigenous institutions and communities.

Successfully managing and administering European Structural Investment Funds (ESIF) rests on the effective governance of the investment process, on the administrative capacity of Managing Authorities, and on the engagement of a diverse range of stakeholders, including beneficiaries. The OECD has developed an analytical framework with four dimensions – people management, organisational management, strategic planning, and framework conditions – to analyse the challenges and capacity gaps confronting Managing Authorities in the administration and management of these funds. Based on a pilot project with three national- and two regional-level Managing Authorities, the study identified a series of common challenges. These include being more strategic and innovative in how staff, processes and programmes are managed; managing the impact of framework conditions on stability and certainty in administrative and investment processes; and needing to ensure that capacity building among Managing Authorities and/or beneficiaries is undertaken at the appropriate scale. Capacity-building Roadmaps were built with each participant. This report recommends concrete actions for actors in the ESIF governance system to build and reinforce the administrative and investment management capacity of Managing Authorities throughout the EU. The findings can also benefit non-EU public actors in managing public investment.

L’économie a connu une croissance robuste au cours des cinq dernières années. En 2017, le taux de croissance a dépassé 4 % et ce rythme s’est maintenu en 2018. La croissance a d’abord été tirée par les exportations puis par l’investissement. À la faveur de l’embellie de l’emploi, la reprise a gagné les secteurs de la consommation privée et de l’investissement résidentiel, une tendance encore renforcée par la croissance à deux chiffres des salaires. Qui plus est, l’économie rencontre des contraintes de capacités croissantes, synonymes de hausse des importations et d’érosion de l'excédent de la balance courante.

This document provides guidance on using efficacy and crop safety data generated in other countries and regions (as well as from other sources) and evaluations conducted by other regulatory authorities. The document does not provide guidance on the generation of data itself or related scientific principles of data assessment or extrapolation but rather discusses broad principles that may be considered and possibly assist with minor use registrations.

이 보고서는 OECD의 아시아/태평양 지역 사회지표에 대한 개요서인 한 눈에 보는 사회: 아시아/태평양의 네 번째 판이다. 이 보고서는 아태지역 국가들의 사회복지 현황에 대한 계량적 지표들을 제공하고 있다. 1장에서는 본 보고서를 소개하고 OECD 사회지표를 해석하는 데 도움이 되는 가이드를 제공한다. 2장은 아태지역 사회적 보호의 범위 확대와 미래에 관한 이슈에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이미 아태지역에는 사회적 보건적 지원을 제공하지 않는 일자리를 가진 노동자들이 많이 있다. 디지털화와 업무성격의 변화는 일자리의 감소로 이끌 뿐 아니라 숙련 노동자와 미숙련 노동자 사이의, 그리고 사회복지 서비스 접근 가능 노동자와 그러지 못한 노동자 사이의 경제적 불평등을 증가시킬 수 있다. 이러한 불평등의 심화는 가장 지원이 필요한 이들을 지원하는 사회정책을 개발하는데 있어 중요한 쟁점이 될 것이다. 또한 이 장에는 정책적 대응 방안을 제시하기 위하여 국가별 프로그램들을 예시로 수록하고 있다. 3장에서 7장까지의 각 장은 일반적 맥락, 자급 자족, 형평성, 건강 그리고 사회적 결속에 대한 각각의 지표를 제시한다.

This study aims at identifying and better understanding the theoretical linkages and operational complementarities between two initiatives in the mining sector: the EITI and the OECD DDG.

Technology and digitalisation have been transforming the way in which the financial sector is operating over the past years. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of digital technologies in all sectors, in particular in finance, as both households and firms have ncreasingly relied on digital as opposed to physical services. This publication contributes to the OECD Going Digital project, which provides policy makers with tools to help economies and societies prosper in an increasingly digital and data-driven world.

The independence of prosecutors is a crucial issue in the fight against corruption. A strong rule of law and the implementation of national anti-corruption legislation require that prosecutors be free from any undue external pressure. The power of prosecutors in deciding whether to prosecute a case, their role in carrying out investigations and the substantial choices they take in the course of the whole proceedings make the independence of prosecutorial service a decisive factor conditioning the possibility of a country to combat corruption crimes.

This is the seventh edition of the OECD survey of large pension funds and public pension reserve funds that collects long-term investment data since it was first published in 2011. The scope of this report covers 87 public and private pension funds from 34 countries. This survey is based on a qualitative questionnaire sent directly to large pension funds and public pension reserve funds. It covers the infrastructure investments made by large pension funds and public pension reserve funds, but also their approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. It provides detailed investment information and insights which complement the aggregated data on portfolio investments gathered by the OECD at a national level through the Global Pension Statistics and Global Insurance Statistics projects.
