2The OECD brings governments, business, labour, academia, and civil society organisations together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems.

Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, and 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 fruit and vegetables.

We look, too, at issues that directly affect the lives of ordinary people, such as how much they pay in taxes and social security. We compare how school systems around the world are readying young people for modern life, and how different countries pension systems will look after 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).

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 both emerging and long-term challenges. Ethical: Our credibility is built on trust, integrity and transparency.

OECD Better Life Index

For more than 50 years, the OECD has been driving better policies for better lives. On its 50th anniversary in 2011, OECD launched the Better Life Initiative, a web portal enabling users to visualise progress graphically. By asking the question, Hows life?, across 11 fundamental determinants of well-being, the OECD incorporates the quality of citizens lives into a common understanding of progress. Each user can create their own Better Life Index (BLI), comparing well-being in their country to that of others, and their own countrys overall performance with their personal priorities. By using this instrument, they also discover how each of the 11 factors affects quality of life overall, and learn about the best policy practices in these areas. In 2012, the portal was enhanced with updated data.

The balance of economic power is shifting. Countries that were once poor are becoming economic powerhouses. Yet poverty persists worldwide, depriving billions of people of basic necessities and the prospects of creating a better life. How are we responding to this challenge? This book explores the multi-faceted world of aid and development co-operation a range of global, and sometimes contested, efforts aimed at reducing the impact of poverty. It traces the history of these efforts, explains where they come from and where they are going, and asks whether they are achieving as much as they could. It also examines some of the ways in which developmenteffortscanbemademoreeffectiveinachievinglastingbenefitsthroughgood governance and the creation of a deeper partnership between developed and developing countries. And it looks at how the economic emergence of countries like China and India is bringing a new dynamic to development co-operation.

How did the sharpest global slowdown in more than six decades happen, and how can recovery be made sustainable? OECD Insights: From Crisis to Recovery traces the causes, course and consequences of the Great Recession. It explains how a globalbuildupofliquidity,coupledwithpoorregulation,createdafinancialcrisisthatquickly began to make itself felt in the real economy, destroying businesses and raising unemployment to its highest level in decades. Is the worst of the crisis over? A swift return to strong growth appears unlikely and employment will take several years to get back to pre-crisis levels. High levels of public and private debt mean cutbacks in savings are likely to become the main priority, meaning the impact of the recession will continue to be felt for years to come.

In the three decades before the recent economic downturn, wage gaps widened and household income inequality increased in a large majority of OECD countries. This occurred even as countries were going through a period of sustained economic and employment growth. This report analyses the major underlying forces behind these developments. It examines to which extent economic globalisation, skill-biased technological progress and institutional and regulatory reforms have had an impact on the distribution of earnings. The report further provides evidence of how changes in family formation and household structures have altered household earnings and income inequality.Anditdocumentshowtaxandbenefitsystemshavechangedinthewaysthey redistribute household incomes. The report discusses which policies are most promising to counter increases in inequalities and how the policy mix can be adjusted when public budgets are under strain.

NThe Impact of Arts Education

What Do We Know?

December 2012, 220 pagesISBN 978-92-64-18077-2www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264180772 45 $63 40 5 800

Arts education is often said to be a means of developing critical and creative thinking. Arts education has also been argued to enhance performance in non-arts academic subjects such as mathematics, science, reading and writing, and to strengthen students academic motivation, self-confidence,andability to communicateandcooperateeffectively.Artseducation thus seems to have a positive impact on the three subsets of skills that we defineasskillsforinnovation:subject-basedskills,includinginnon-artssubjects;skillsin thinking and creativity; and behavioural and social skills.

This report examines the state of empirical knowledge about the impact of arts education on these kinds of outcomes. The kinds of arts education examined include arts classes in school (classes in music, visual arts, theatre, and dance), arts-integrated classes (where the arts are taught as a support for an academic subject), and arts study undertaken outside of school (e.g., private music lessons; out-of-school classes in theatre, visual arts, and dance). The report does not deal with education about the arts or cultural education, which may be included in all kinds of subjects.

Lets Read Them a Story!

The parent Factor in Education

July 2012, 82 pagesISBN 978-92-64-17619-5www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264176195 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264176232-en 15 $21 13 1 900

Most parents know instinctively that spending more time with their children and being actively involved in their education will give their children a good head-start in life. But since most parents have to juggle competing demands at work and home, there never seems to be enough time or they feel ill-equipped to help.

This book from the OECDs Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has some good news for concerned parents: it does not require a Ph.D or unlimited hours for parents to make a difference in their childrens education. In fact, many parent-child activities that are associated with better reading performance among students involve relatively little time and no specialised knowledge. What these activities do demand is genuine interest and active engagement.

NBetter Skills, Better Jobs, Better Lives

A Strategic Approach to Skills policies

May 2012, 120 pagesISBN 978-92-64-17729-1www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264177291 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264177338-en 39 $54 35 5 000

Recognising both the complexity of skills policies and the potential for peer learning, the OECD has developed a global Skills Strategy that helps countries to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their national skills systems, benchmark them internationally, and develop policies that can transform better skills into better jobs, economic growth and social inclusion. This book presents a strategy that will help countries reach the goal of having and making the best use of a high-quality pool of skills. The OECD Skills Strategy shifts the focus from traditional measures of skills, such asyearsofinitialeducationandtrainingorqualificationsattained,toamuchbroaderperspective that includes the skills people can acquire, use and maintain and also loseoverawholelifetime.Withoutsufficientinvestmentinskills,peoplelanguishonthe margins of society, technological progress does not translate into economic growth, and countries can no longer compete in an increasingly knowledge-based global society. In addition, the book points out that for skills to retain their value, they must be continuously maintained and upgraded throughout life so that people can collaborate, compete and connect in ways that drive economies and societies forward.

An analysis of how labour markets weather economic shocks shows that policies to lower structural unemployment also help to dampen the adverse effects of economic downturns on unemployment, earnings losses and earnings inequality. The report documents the decline in the labour share of national income that has been occurring in many OECD countries, primarily as a result of globalisation and technological change. Finally, the impact of climate-change mitigation policies on the labour market is examined.

Gender gaps are pervasive in all walks of economic life and imply large losses in terms of foregone productivity and living standards to the individuals concerned and the economy. This new OECD report focuses on how best to close these gender gaps under four broad headings: gender equality, social norms and public policies, gender equality in education, and employment and entrepreneurship.

Key policy messages include:

Greater gender equality in educational attainment has a strong positive effect on economic growth.

Stereotyping needs to be addressed in educational choices at school from a young age. For example, adapt teaching strategies and material to increase engagement of boys in reading and of girls in maths and science; encourage more girls to follow science, engineering and maths courses in higher education and seek employment inthesefields.

Good and affordable childcare is a key factor for better gender equality in employment. But change also has to happen at home as the bulk of housework and caring is left to women in many countries. Policy can support such change, for example, through parental leave policies that explicitly include fathers.

Electricity use is growing worldwide, providing a range of energy services: lighting, heatingandcooling,specificindustrialuses,entertainment,informationtechnologies,and mobility. Because its generation remains largely based on fossil fuels, electricity is also the largest and the fastest-growing source of energy-related CO2 emissions, the primary cause of human-induced climate change. Forecasts from the IEA and others showthatdecarbonisingelectricityandenhancingend-useefficiencycanmakemajorcontributionstothefightagainstclimatechange.

Global and regional trends in electricity supply and demand indicate the magnitude of the decarbonisation challenge ahead. As climate concerns become an essential component of energy policy-making, the generation and use of electricity will be subject to increasingly strong policy actions by governments to reduce their associated CO2 emissions. Despite these actions, and despite very rapid growth in renewable energy generation,significanttechnologyandpolicychallengesremainifthisunprecedented,essential transition is to be achieved.

This book provides an authoritative resource on progress to date in this area, with statistics related to CO2 and the electricity sector across ten regions of the world. It also presents topical analyses on meeting the challenge of rapidly curbing CO2 emissions from electricity, from both a policy and technology perspective.

With ample recoverable resources, natural gas seems destined for a bright future. It nevertheless faces many challenges to increase its share in the primary energy mix, includinginsufficientupstreamdevelopment,inadequatepricingstructure,competitionfrom other fuels, and geopolitical issues.

The IEA Medium-Term Gas Market Report 2012 reviews how gas markets managed the challenges of 2011, from the consequences of the Fukushima incident to the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa to a further deteriorating economy. It gives detailed gas supply, demand and trade forecasts up to 2017, by region as well as for key countries, while investigating many of todays crucial questions:

Humanity has witnessed unprecedented growth and prosperity in the past decades, with the size of the world economy more than tripling and population increasing by over 3 billion people since 1970. This growth, however, has been accompanied by environmental pollution and natural resource depletion. The current growth model and the mismanagement of natural assets could ultimately undermine human development.

The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 asks, What will the next four decades bring? Based on joint modelling by the OECD and the Netherlands Environmental AssessmentAgency,itlooksforwardtotheyear2050tofindoutwhatdemographicand economic trends might mean for the environment if the world does not adopt more ambitious green policies. It also looks at what policies could change that picture for the better. This Outlook focuses on four areas: climate change, biodiversity, freshwater and healthimpactsofpollution.Thesefourkeyenvironmentalchallengeswereidentifiedby the previous Environmental Outlook to 2030 (OECD, 2008) as Red Light issues requiring urgent attention.

The report builds on OECD analyses and a wealth of case studies collected by several institutions. It covers four main issues: allocation (where is water most needed?); investment in ecologically sensitive water storage and distribution systems (how to guarantee access to the resource); water-related innovation (e.g. smart water systems, which can save water, energy and investment costs) and the policies which can stimulateit;andwatersupplyandsanitation(asimprovedaccessyieldssignificantbenefitsonhealth,theenvironmentandtheeconomy).

The report also considers a series of cross-cutting issues: linkages with biodiversity; pricing; equity; governance (national/local initiatives, the role of communities); and strategic planning (a key political tool to make reform happen).

Meeting the growing demand for energy, and electricity in particular, while addressing the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure security of energy supply, is oneofthemostdifficultchallengesfacingtheworldseconomies.Nosingletechnologycan respond to this challenge, and the solution which policy makers are seeking lies in thediversificationofenergysources.

Although nuclear energy currently provides over 20% of electricity in the OECD area and does not emit any carbon dioxide during production, it continues to be seen by many as a controversial technology. Public concern remains over its safety and the managementofradioactivewaste,andfinancingsuchacapital-intensivetechnologyis a complex issue. The role that nuclear power will play in the future depends on the answers to these questions, several of which are provided in this up-to-date review of the status of nuclear energy, as well as on the outcome of research and development on the nuclear fuel cycle and reactor technologies.

Global Value Chains (GVCs) have exploded in the past decade and refer to the international dispersion of design, production, assembly, marketing and distribution of services, activities and products. Different stages in the production process are increasingly located across different economies, and intermediate inputs like parts and components are produced in one country and then exported to other countries forfurtherproductionand/orassemblyinfinalproducts.ThefunctionalandspatialfragmentationthathasoccurredwithinGVCshassignificantlyreshapedtheglobaleconomic landscape, thereby raising some new major policy challenges for OECD countries and emerging countries alike: trade policy, competitiveness, upgrading and innovation and the management of global systemic risk.

Space systems earth observation and meteorological satellites, space communications, global positioning systems are becoming an indispensable tool in the international effort to track and better understand our atmosphere, oceans, forests, fresh water resources and land use. As global food supplies increasingly face political, demographic, economic and climate-related challenges, space applications play a fundamental role in providing more accurate and timely information on agricultural productionprospectsaswellasonfishstocksevolution.Thispublicationreviewskeytrends in global food supplies and provides an assessment of current and forthcoming capabilities of space technologies. It also examines diverse socio-economic impacts which may be derived from the use of selected space applications (e.g. improved precision agriculture practices using GPS, from planting to harvest, can reduce in some cases input costs and increase productivity), while considering the sustainability of different economic models in place today.

YMaking Innovation Policy Work

November 2012, 200 pagesISBN 978-92-64-18387-2www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264183872 60 $84 54 7 800

The book explores emerging topics in innovation policy for more inclusive and sustainable growth, building on concrete examples. The book develops the notion of experimental innovation policy policies which integrate monitoring and feedback to improve policy impact and policy implementation. Rather than undertaking monitoring and evaluation at the end of a policy programme, monitoring is incorporated from the outset, at the policy design stage and occurs continuously to have the greatest impact onpolicyimplementation.Thisapproachshouldhelpimprovethequalityandefficiencyof public expenditures supporting innovation policy. Experimental policy making is particularly important for new and emerging innovation domains, where the scope for learning and improvement is the greatest. To make the discussion as concrete and relevant as possible for practitioners and policy makers, three emerging domains of innovation policy are explored in greater detail: innovative entrepreneurship, green innovation, and pro-poor or base-of-the-pyramid (BoP) innovation.

Cancer Care: Assuring Quality to Improve Survival surveys the policy trends in cancer care over recent years and looks at survival rates to identify the why some countries are doing better than others. It sets out what governments should do to reduce the burden of cancer in their countries. As well as an adequate level of resourcing, a comprehensive national cancer control plan appears critical, emphasising initiatives such as early detection and fast-track treatment pathways. Countries also need better data, particularly for patients experiences of care, in order to provide high quality, continuously improving cancer care.

Alcoholicbeverages,andtheproblemstheyengender,havebeenfamiliarfixturesin human societies since the beginning of recorded history. Worldwide, alcohol is responsible for a larger share of the burden of ill health and premature mortality than tobacco or obesity. It accounts for 1 in 15 deaths in the European region, and for an even larger proportion of disability, especially in men. Its social costs are estimated in excess of 1% of GNP in high- and middle-income countries.

Drinking is a social phenomenon, with strong cultural connotations. Alcohol use is driven bysocialnormsmorethanotherhealth-relatedbehaviours.Thisisreectedinuniquepatterns of social disparity in drinking, showing the well-to-do often more prone to hazardous use of alcohol, and a polarisation of problem-drinking at the two ends of the social spectrum.

Governments can play a major role in tackling the harms associated with alcohol use, and have many tools at their disposal to achieve this goal. Some policy approaches are moreeffectiveandefficientthanothers,dependingontheirabilitytotriggerchangesinsocial norms, and on how well they can target the groups that are most at risk.

This publication provides a wide-ranging assessment of the health, social and economic impacts of key policy options for tackling alcohol-related harms in three OECD countries (Australia, Canada and Finland), extracting policy-relevant messages for a broader set of countries.

The theme of this fourth edition of Pensions at a Glance is pensions, retirement and life expectancy. Many countries have increased pension ages in the face of population ageing and longer lives. Some have introduced an automatic link between pensions and life expectancy. Improvements to the incentives to work rather than retire are also a common part of recent pension-reform packages. However, ensuring that there are enough jobs for older workers remains a challenge.

Anin-depthlookattheseimportantpolicyissuesisprovidedbyfivespecialchapterson: pension ages, retirement behaviour, pension incentives to retire, the demand for older workers and linking pensions to life expectancy. This edition updates information on the key features of pension provision in OECD countries and provides projections of retirement income for todays workers. It offers an expanded range of 34 indicators, covering the design of national retirement-income provision, pension entitlements, incomesofolderpeople,thefinancesofpensionsystems,thedemographicandeconomic context in which pension systems operate and private pensions.

More countries are analysed than in previous editions, including four new members of the OECD: Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia. Where possible, data are also provided for the other major economies in the G20: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Along with data on the European Unions 27 member states, this brings to 43 the number of economies covered in the report.

OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations 2010

The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations provide guidance on the application of the arms 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 is high on the agenda of tax administrators and taxpayers alike. Governments need to ensure that the taxableprofitsofMNEsarenotartificiallyshiftedoutoftheirjurisdictionsandthatthetaxbasereportedbyMNEsintheirrespectivecountriesreecttheeconomicactivityundertaken 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 an arms length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with associated enterprises.

In the 2010 edition, Chapters I-III were substantially revised, with new guidance on: the selection of the most appropriate transfer pricing method to the circumstances of the case;thepracticalapplicationoftransactionalprofitmethods(transactionalnetmarginmethodandprofitsplitmethod);andontheperformanceofcomparabilityanalyses.Furthermore, a new Chapter IX, on the transfer pricing aspects of business restructurings, was added. Consistency changes were made to the rest of the Guidelines.
