It provides recommendations to assist the Philippines in embedding and improving its regulatory management system, with a specific focus on regulatory impact assessment.
This report provides examples and recommendations to help overcome obstacles to engage low-skilled workers and their employers in skills development. England has implemented impressive measures aimed at helping workers and employers to upskill. Nonetheless, there remains room for improvement. More can be done to identify workers with low basic skills, raise awareness of why improving those skills is important, increase the accessibility to relevant courses, ensure these courses are flexible enough to accommodate adult learners who are already employed, and finally make the provision relevant to career aspirations.
This report urges England to establish and promote a vision for raising the skills of low-skilled workers, identify their needs more systematically, and provide targeted guidance and information to them and their employers. It highlights that accessible and flexible adult learning opportunities in the workplace, home, community and by other means such as online and distance learning can better meet the varied needs of low-skilled workers. It also makes the case for the use of contextualised learning approaches, which create connections between basic skills and vocational context, and a more effective use of basic skills in workplaces to maintain, develop and realise the benefits of prior skills investments.
This Guidance Document provides guidance and practical advice for applicants on the requirements for flammability testing of biocides and agricultural pesticides/plant protection products in various OECD jurisdictions. Though many of the available methods are common they can differ in small but important ways. Thus a summary of parameters can help an applicant ensure their data set is viable in all OECD countries, thereby saving resources for both the applicant and the receiving government.

L'édition 2020 des Perspectives de l'emploi de l'OCDE se concentre sur la protection des travailleurs et la crise liée au COVID-19. Le chapitre 1 présente une première évaluation des conséquences de l'épidémie de COVID-19 sur le marché du travail et de la crise économique qui en résulte. Il présente également une vue d'ensemble des mesures d'urgence mises en œuvre par les pays de l'OCDE en matière de marché du travail et de politique sociale et examine les orientations à suivre pour poursuivre l'adaptation des politiques à mesure que les pays lèvent les mesures de confinement. Le chapitre 2 étudie l'inégalité d'accès aux allocations chômage pour les travailleurs occupant des emplois à temps partiel et peu stables, qui accentue souvent les difficultés auxquelles ils sont confrontés en temps de crise, et examine le difficile équilibre entre les incitations au travail et la sécurité des revenus. Le chapitre 3 propose un examen comparatif de la législation sur la protection de l'emploi (LPE) dans les pays de l'OCDE en développant une nouvelle version des indicateurs de la LPE de l'OCDE, qui comprennent désormais une meilleure évaluation de la réglementation en matière de licenciements collectifs et de licenciements abusifs, ainsi que des questions liées à la mise en application de la réglementation. Le chapitre 4 jette un regard neuf sur la polarisation des emplois, et en particulier sur l'éviction des emplois dans les professions moyennement qualifiées. Enfin, le chapitre 5 examine l'évolution des performances sur le marché du travail des diplômés de l'enseignement professionnel, de l'éducation et de la formation de niveau intermédiaire, dont les perspectives sur le marché du travail sont remises en question par la contraction des emplois dans les professions moyennement qualifiées.
In May 2020, the IEA market update on renewable energy provided an analysis that looked at the impact of Covid-19 on renewable energy deployment in 2020 and 2021. This early assessment showed that the Covid-19 crisis is hurting – but not halting – global renewable energy growth. Half a year later, the pandemic continues to affect the global economy and daily life. However, renewable markets, especially electricity-generating technologies, have already shown their resilience to the crisis. Renewables 2020 provides detailed analysis and forecasts through 2025 of the impact of Covid-19 on renewables in the electricity, heat and transport sectors.
This study’s primary aim is to explore ways to reduce heating-related residential sector emissions using a scenario analysis approach as the basis of a roadmap for Kazakhstan. The purpose of this roadmap is to help Kazakhstan formulate a policy framework and conditions to enable a household energy-use transition. It is intended to support and guide key government authorities as well as other stakeholders.
The world needs more, better and cheaper technologies to achieve clean energy transitions, despite some progress in recent years. There is an opportunity to strengthen support for clean energy innovation as part of sustainable recovery plans and counteract the potential threats to energy technology development from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tracking clean energy innovation progress encompasses several critical elements of effective energy innovation policy: identifying gaps and opportunities, evaluating the effectiveness of programmes and policies, and understanding the market readiness of key technologies, nationally and globally.
Drawing from available research and real-world policy examples, we use a four-pillar framework to present a set of metrics for tracking progress across clean energy innovation systems. A broad range of metrics are described for each of the pillars and key examples are illustrated with available data.
This report aims to support public and private decision makers’ efforts to accelerate clean energy innovation. Strategies for tracking progress and embedding innovation policy within energy policy are long-term commitments, and data collection can be challenging. However, tracking progress is an important element of policy good practice, and all countries have quick-win opportunities to improve. In emerging economies aiming to enhance their innovation policies, innovation system mapping and experience sharing can help make progress.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) regularly conducts in-depth peer reviews of the energy policies of its member countries. This process supports energy policy development and encourages the exchange of international best practices.
The Korean government is committed to substantially increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the electricity supply, gradually phasing out coal and nuclear power from the energy mix, significantly improving energy efficiency, and fostering the country’s nascent hydrogen industry. Many of these measures will help Korea advance its energy transition and improve its energy security, a high priority given the country’s limited domestic energy production. The government’s pledge of a Green New Deal as part of its Covid-19 economic recovery package in July 2020 is a significant step towards accelerating Korea’s energy transition. Achieving the ambitions of the Green New Deal will require addressing regulatory and institutional barriers, introducing more flexible energy markets, and making use of the country’s expertise in advanced technologies and innovative capacity.
In this report, the IEA provides recommendations for further improving Korea’s policies to help the country guide the transformation of its energy sector towards a secure and sustainable future.
This is the first ever Electricity Market Report produced by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Designed to complement other reports in the Market Report Series on energy efficiency, renewables, coal, natural gas and oil, this report focuses on developments in the world’s electricity markets amid the Covid-19 pandemic. It includes an assessment of 2020 trends and 2021 forecasts for electricity demand, supply, capacity and emissions – both globally and by country. Starting in 2021, the IEA will publish a new edition of the report on a half-yearly basis with the latest updates on key developments in global electricity markets.
Energy Efficiency 2020 is the latest edition of the IEA’s annual update on global developments in energy efficiency. Through analysis of energy data, policies and technology trends, it provides a comprehensive view of energy efficiency trends worldwide.
Energy efficiency plays an essential role in accelerating clean energy transitions and achieving global climate and sustainability goals. This year’s report focuses on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on energy efficiency and global energy markets this year, as well as analysis of 2019 trends. By analysing the inclusion and impacts of energy efficiency in stimulus packages, the report also highlights the role of efficiency in supporting sustainable recovery efforts around the world by creating jobs and stimulating spending while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This report describes the results of an OECD survey submitted to the regulators responsible for the enforcement of corporate governance-related provisions in the six countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) that participate in the Latin American Corporate Governance Roundtable Task Force on Equity Market Development (“Task Force”). The report aims to identify common and differing approaches to enforcement challenges in the region as well as common objectives, obstacles and relevant experiences, thereby contributing to a better understanding of public enforcement environments in the region and potential avenues for improving them. Building on previous work by the OECD in 2009 and 2004, this report also provides information on changes in the public enforcement of corporate governance-related provisions in Latin America.
The least developed countries (LDCs) are the furthest from achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are also likely to be hit the hardest by the COVID-19 crisis and badly need the additional private finance that blended finance can unlock. Yet evidence shows that too little private finance is mobilised for investment in LDCs. How can this be fixed?
The Blended Finance in the Least Developed Countries 2020 report is the third edition and second joint UNCDF-OECD report. It builds on UNCDF research and transactional experience, OECD data and analysis on private finance mobilized by official development finance, and a series consultations with and contributions by blended finance experts, LDC governments, UN missions, donors, civil society and research institutions. The report provides an update on the deployment of blended finance in LDCs. It also analyses its potential role in helping those countries recover from the COVID-19 crisis, and provides an Action Agenda for unlocking capital for the achievement of the SDGs in LDCs, as called for in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
All OECD economies are undergoing rapid population ageing, leading to more age diversity in workplaces than ever before as people are not only living longer but working longer. Greater diversity of experience, generations and skills gives employers an important opportunity to harness the talent that different age groups bring to the workplace and improve productivity and profitability. What can employers do to maximise the benefits of a multigenerational workforce? This report presents a business case for embracing greater age diversity at the workplace and debunks several myths about generational differences in work performance, attitudes and motivations towards work. It points to key employer policies and offers practical examples in three key areas to support and promote an age-inclusive workforce. This includes designing and putting in place all-age and life-stage policies covering the full span of workers careers through best practice in recruitment, retention and retirement, as well as the promotion of life-long learning and good health at work.
