Celebrating 60 years with a borderless labour market

The agreement on a common Nordic labour market was signed on 22 May 1954.

Challenging globalisation’s winners: The OECD wants to bridge the divides

The OECD’s Stefano Scarpetta calls the new narrative a paradigm shift. We must change the ideas which have created an increasing gap between rich and poor, says Secretary-General Angel Gurría: Economic growth is not enough, we need a new vision for inclusive and sustainable development.

Changes to IT affect systems as well as the social environment
