The Latin American Economic Outlook 2016 is devoted to the evolving relationship between Latin America and China, as well as its prospects in the long term. China's transformation involves a gradual shift in its development strategy, including the rebalancing process from investment to consumption, the demographic transition, the structural transformation towards high value-added goods and services, and a "going-out" policy to approach other regions. This report lays the ground for discussing future trends in the relationship between China and Latin America, given these changing patterns. Based on the analysis opotential transmission channels of China's new model to the region, which include issues on trade, financeand skills, the outlook aims to identify strategies and policy responses for Latin America to overcome development challenges. Latin America and China can complement each other further and build a mutually beneficial partnership for development.

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.

The digital economy now permeates countless aspects of the world economy, impacting sectors as varied as banking, retail, energy, transportation, education, publishing, media or health. Information and Communication Technologies are transforming the ways social interactions and personal relationships are conducted, with fixed, mobile and broadcast networks converging, and devices and objects increasingly connected to form the Internet of things.
This report assesses how countries can maximise the potential of the digital economy as a driver for innovation and inclusive growth, and discusses the evolutions in the digital economy that policy makers need to consider as well as the emerging challenges they need to address as a part of national digital strategies. Chapters include an overview of the current status and outlook of the digital economy; the main trends in the ICT sector, and developments in communication and regulation policy; and overviews of ICT demand and adoption, plus the effects of the digital economy on growth and development. This volume also includes a chapter on developments related to trust in the digital economy and on the emerging Internet of things.

L'édition 2014 des Perspectives de l'emploi de l'OCDE propose un examen approfondi de l'évolution récente du marché du travail et de ses perspectives à court terme dans les pays de l'OCDE. Elle met en lumière les conséquences de la crise sur les revenus, en montrant que les bas salaires n'ont pas été épargnés par un ralentissement sensible de la progression des salaires réels. Si cette progression ralentie peut aider à restaurer la compétitivité et à stimuler l'emploi, ce qui est essentiel pour faire baisser le chômage, la qualité des emplois ainsi créés compte également. La complexité de la notion de qualité des emplois peut être appréhendée à travers trois dimensions : le salaire, la sécurité de l'emploi et la qualité des conditions de travail. Ces trois dimensions sont très variables d'un pays à l'autre, mais il n'est pas nécessaire de sacrifier la qualité au profit de la quantité des emplois : certains pays réussissent bien sur les deux tableaux. L'emploi non régulier peut avoir des effets néfastes sur la qualité, notamment au regard de la sécurité de l'emploi et de la difficulté de passer à un emploi permanent. Il est nécessaire, dans certains pays, de réformer la législation sur la protection de l'emploi afin de réduire les niveaux élevés d'emploi non régulier. Les compétences jouent un rôle déterminant dans la probabilité d'obtenir un emploi de qualité élevée, comme le montre la nouvelle enquête internationale de l'OCDE sur les compétences des adultes. Ce rôle dépend non seulement des compétences déjà acquises par les employés, mais également de la manière dont elles sont mises en oeuvre sur le lieu de travail, qui à leur tour est le reflet des institutions et politiques du marché du travail des pays.
