“Open for business?” How to create opportunities in entrepreneurship for everyone Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

Not everyone has an equal opportunity to transform their ideas into a business. There could be an additional 9 million people starting and managing new business in the European Union (EU) – and 35 million across OECD countries – if everyone was as active in business creation as core age men (30-49 years old). David Halabisky, Policy Analyst at the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship and SMEs, Regions and Cities speaks with Shayne MacLachlan on how harnessing the untapped potential of “the missing entrepreneurs” can uncover new ideas, create jobs and contribute to economic growth, which are central to plans for a strong COVID-19 recovery.

Education equity and the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures in nearly all countries in 2020, with as much as 55 in-person learning days lost for young children and as many as 100 days lost for high school students. The impact of this disproportionately affected those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who were more likely to lack the resources for effective remote learning. The need to strengthen educational opportunities is not new, but the impact of COVID-19 on learning has made this challenge even more pressing. Marie-Helene Doumet, senior analyst for education and skills at the OECD, discusses lessons learned from the pandemic and what governments can do to support equity in education.

Repenser l’équité dans l’éducation : Le COVID, révélateur et catalyseur ? Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

Depuis le début de la pandémie, les fermetures d’écoles ont été nombreuses à travers le monde : la scolarisation de plus d’un milliard d’élèves s’en est trouvée suspendue. Après 18 mois de pandémie, force est de constater que les élèves les plus défavorisés ont été les plus pénalisés. Où en sommes-nous ? Peut-on faire émerger quelque chose de positif de cette crise sans précédent ? Le COVID peut-il être un révélateur et un catalyseur pour repenser l’équité dans l’éducation ? Éric Charbonnier, analyste à la Direction de l'éducation et des compétences de l’OCDE dresse un bilan éloquent de la situation. Qu’il parle de la France, de la Belgique, de la Suisse, du Luxembourg ou encore du Canada, son analyse est aussi objective que constructive. Plus que jamais, il est essentiel de rendre l’éducation aussi pertinente qu’équitable pour préparer tous les jeunes à relever les défis à venir. Un tour d’horizon instructif, éclairé par les bonnes pratiques internationales… Invité : Eric Charbonnier Animation : Anne-Lise Prigent Production : Robin Allison Davis Pour en savoir plus : L'équité dans l’éducation : https://www.oecd.org/coronavirus/fr/education-equitable Pour s’abonner à la lettre d’information de l’OCDE : https://oe.cd/3JD Suivez-nous sur les réseaux sociaux : www.oecd.org/social-media © Podcasts de l’OCDE 2021

Révolution dans la fiscalité internationale : la justice fiscale en action – avec Pascal Saint-Amans Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

Début juillet 2021, plus de 130 pays et juridictions sont parvenus à un accord sur une refonte radicale du système fiscal international. Cet accord vise à faire en sorte que les entreprises multinationales paient une juste part de l’impôt partout où elles exercent des activités. Il actualise des composantes fondamentales d’un système fiscal international presque centenaire qui n’est plus adapté à l’économie mondialisée et numérisée du XXIe siècle. Il entend également limiter la concurrence fiscale en instaurant un impôt minimum sur les sociétés au niveau international. Dans ce podcast, Pascal Saint-Amans nous aide à prendre la mesure de cette formidable avancée fiscale, et nous en dessine les contours de manière limpide et pédagogique. Il nous y parle également d’environnement, de francophonie et de ce qui l’inspire pour contribuer à changer le monde. Un podcast au dynamisme communicatif - à mettre entre toutes les oreilles !

Artificial Intelligence: Managing the ethical challenges Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

If a self-driving car gets into an accident, who’s to blame — the person in the car, or the technology powering the vehicle? What about the manufacturer? If an automated job-search tool discriminates based on race or gender, who’s at fault — the software, or the company? We look at the complex ethical challenges central to AI, the fundamental philosophical questions — about human’s relationship with technology — and more practical concerns, about how to best regulate these new tools. This is the final episode in a series on artificial intelligence, brought to you by the OECD’s Global Parliamentary Network and the European Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA). Guests: Anna-Michelle Asimakopoulou , Lorena Jaume-Palasi, Host: Karina Piser Producer: Samia Basille To learn more about the EU Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology’s work on AI, go to: www.europarl.europa.eu/stoa/en/home/highlights To learn more about the OECD’s work on AI, go to: oecd.ai Get the latest OECD content delivered directly to your inbox!

Migrant integration: How Handbook Germany community builds to overcome barriers Jul 22, 2021

Effective communication is key when it comes to helping migrants get to know their host country, integrate in their local communities and have access to essential public services.

Global digital tax deal: A multilateral solution to end corporate tax avoidance Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

Over 130 countries and jurisdictions, representing more than 90% of global GDP, joined a new agreement in July 2021 to reform the international taxation rules and ensure that multinational enterprises pay a fair share of tax wherever they operate. This global tax deal – the outcome of negotiations co-ordinated by the OECD for much of the last decade – updates key elements of the century-old international tax system which is no longer fit for purpose in a globalised and digitalised 21st century economy and puts a floor on tax competition by setting a global minimum corporate tax.

Truth Hurts: The unknown brain injuries of domestic violence survivors Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Pioneering research is showing that brain trauma is pervasive in cases of domestic violence against women. Depression, anxiety, memory loss, disorientation, and sleep problems are all potential symptoms of someone who has experienced a traumatic brain injury. Recognising and treating brain injuries is key to help survivors of domestic violence. In the second episode of the OECD podcast series “Truth Hurts” Eve Valera, Associate Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School shares with Monika Queisser her research on brain trauma and women who have survived domestic abuse and why it is so important to raise awareness with policy makers, women’s shelters, and first-responders.
