Tackling mental ill-health of the working-age population is becoming a key issue for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major role to play in keeping people with mental ill-health in employment or bringing those outside of the labour market back to it, and in preventing mental illness. This report on Denmark is the third in a series of reports looking at how the broader education, health, social and labour market policy challenges identified in Sick on the Job? Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work (OECD, 2012) are being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It concludes that the Danish system has a number of strengths that have yet to be used in a more effective way, but also that quite a few changes are needed in order to raise the labour market particiption of people with mental ill-health.

Une éducation équitable ne veut pas dire la répartition égale des ressources entre tous et, les pays de l'OCDE soutiennent les élèves souffrant de déficiences apprentissage ou de désavantages sociaux, en leur accordant des ressources  supplémentaires pour les aider à suivre le programme scolaire classique et à tirer le meilleur parti possible du système éducatif. Le présent ouvrage compare les approches des différents pays de l'OCDE et en déduit  les conséquences pour l'action des gouvernements. Il fait suite à l'édition intitulée Besoins éducatifs particuliers - statistiques et indicateurs. Cette publication élargit l'analyse internationale à un plus grand nombre de pays et couvre un éventail plus vaste de services éducatifs. Elle offre également une présentation plus exhaustive des données et des indicateurs de l'équité. Le système de classification internationale en trois catégories, A, B et C (élèves souffrant respectivement de déficiences, de difficultés et de désavantages), mis au point pour la première édition, est maintenu. Cet ouvrage met en lumière les effectifs d'élèves concernés ainsi que le type d'écoles qui les reçoit (écoles spéciales, classes spéciales ou classes ordinaires). Il comprend de nouvelles données sur l'éducation préprimaire, le deuxième cycle de l'enseignement secondaire, et la répartition par sexe. La publication traite aussi du nombre d'élèves par enseignant et des structures d'accueil des élèves. L'analyse repose sur les données à la fois quantitatives et qualitatives communiquées par 28 pays : l'Allemagne, l'Autriche, la Belgique (Communauté , flamande), le Canada (Alberta, Colombie-Britannique, Nouveau-Brunswick, Saskatchewan), la Corée, le Danemark, l'Espagne, les Etats-Unis, la Finlande, la France, la Grèce, la Hongrie, l'Irlande, l'Islande, l'Italie, le Japon, le Luxembourg, le Mexique, la Norvège, La Nouvelle Zélande, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne, le Portugal, la République tchèque, le Royaume-Uni, la Suède, la Suisse et la Turquie.

he establishment of dedicated regulatory bodies in charge of regulating water services, whilst being recent, is nevertheless a consistent trend among OECD and non-OECD countries. This report presents a picture as of September 2014 of the governance arrangements, operational modalities and use of regulatory tools across a sample of 34 established water regulators. It relies on the OECD Best Practice Principles for Regulatory Policy : The Governance of Regulators to structure the information collected through a survey exercise. It has been developed in close co-operation with the OECD Network of Economic Regulators (NER). The results from the survey show that the 34 water regulators show generally a high level of adoption of good governance principles and practices. They display functions and powers that are in line with their objectives. Water regulators also show a strong culture of consultation. Other areas, in particular evaluation of regulatory impacts, could be further strengthened.

How school systems respond to immigration has an enormous impact on the economic and social well-being of all members of the communities they serve, whether they have an immigrant background or not. Immigrant Students at School : Easing the Journey towards Integration reveals some of the difficulties immigrant students encounter - and some of the contributions they offer - as they settle into their new communities and new schools. Results from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) indicate that students with an immigrant background tend to perform worse in school than students without an immigrant background. Several factors are associated with this disparity, including the concentration of disadvantage in the schools immigrant students attend, language barriers and certain school policies, like grade repetition and tracking, that can hinder immigrant students' progress through school. But successful integration is measured in more than academic achievement ; immigrant students' well-being and hopes for the future are just as telling. This report examines not only immigrant students' aspirations and sense of belonging at school, but also recent trends in Europeans' receptiveness to welcoming immigrants into their own countries - the context that could make all the difference in how well immigrant students integrate into their new communities. The report includes a special section on refugees and education, and an extensive discussion on education policy responses to immigration.

Drawing on the expertise of public international law and tax experts, this report explores the technical feasibility to develop a multilateral instrument to modify tax treaties so as to efficiently implement the tax treaty-related BEPS measures. The report concludes that such an instrument is desirable and feasible and that negotiations for the multilateral instrument should be convened quickly. Based on this analysis, a mandate has been developed for an ad-hoc group, open to the participation of all countries on an equal footing, to develop the multilateral instrument and open it for signature in 2016.
