Job displacement (involuntary job loss due to firm closure or downsizing) affects many workers over the course of their working lives. Displaced workers may face long periods of unemployment and, even when they find new jobs, tend to be paid less and have fewer benefits than in the jobs they held prior to displacement. Helping displaced workers get back into good jobs quickly should be a key goal of labour market policy. This report is the second in a series of reports looking at how this challenge is being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It shows that Japanese employers and the government go to considerable lengths to avoid the displacement of regular workers while also providing considerable income and re-employment support to many of the workers whose jobs cannot be preserved. Challenges for labour market programmes include expanding labour market mobility between regular jobs, improving co-ordination between private and public re-employment assistance for displaced workers, and avoiding that job displacement pushes older workers to the margins of the labour market.

This study reviews key trends in science, technology and innovation (STI) policies, and performance in more than 45 economies, including OECD countries and major emerging economies. The report draws on the latest OECD work on science and innovation policy analysis and measurement. Following an overview of the STI global landscape and policy trends, key policy issues are discussed across a series of thematic policy profiles. The third section examines individual STI country performances, along with the most recent national policy developments. These global and national policy trends are monitored by a unique international policy survey conducted by the OECD every two years.

This report contains the "Phase 2: Implementation of the Standards in Practice" review, as well as revised version of the "Phase 1: Legal and Regulatory Framework review" already released for Estonia.

The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by 120 jurisdictions, which participate in the Global Forum on an equal footing. The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004. The standards have also been incorporated into the UN Model Tax Convention.

The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. Fishing expeditions are not authorised but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.

All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction's legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined - Phase 1 and Phase 2 - reviews. The Global Forum has also put in place a process for supplementary reports to follow-up on recommendations, as well as for the ongoing monitoring of jurisdictions following the conclusion of a review. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

All review reports are published once approved by the Global Forum and they thus represent agreed Global Forum reports.

For more information on the work of the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, and for copies of the published review reports, please refer to www.oecd.org/tax/transparency and www.eoi-tax.org.

This report analyses the results of simulations using an agent based model of financial markets to show how excessive levels of leverage in financial markets can lead to a systemic crash.  Investors overload on risky assets betting more than they have to gamble creating a tremendous level of vulnerability in the system as a whole.  Plummeting asset prices render banks unable or unwilling to provide credit as they fear they might be unable to cover their own liabilities due to potential loan defaults.  Whether an overleveraged borrower is a sovereign nation or major financial institution, recent history illustrates how defaults carry the risk of contagion in a globally interconnected economy. The resulting slowdown of investment in the real economy impacts actors at all levels, from small businesses to homebuyers. Bankruptcies lead to job losses and a drop in aggregate demand, leading to more businesses and individuals being unable to repay their loans, reinforcing a downward spiral that can trigger a recession, depression or bring about stagflation in the real economy. This can have a devastating impact not only on economic prosperity across the board, but also consumer sentiment and trust in the ability of the system to generate long-term wealth and growth.

Les questions sociales sont à la fois diverses et liées. On ne saurait, par exemple, aborder l'exclusion sociale sans parler en même temps des obstacles à l'intégration du marché du travail et des questions concernant l'état de santé et l'éducation des personnes concernées. Faire face au vieillissement de la population nécessite de nouvelles approches quant aux soins de santé, à l'emploi et aux retraites. Les indicateurs sociaux regroupés dans cet ouvrage ont été élaborés afin d'offrir une vision d'ensemble des comparaisons internationales et de l'évaluation des tendances et des résultats des politiques sociales. En soulignant les interactions entre l'état et les actions de la société dans un large éventail de domaines d'intervention, cette batterie d'indicateurs aidera le lecteur à déterminer si les grandes orientations des politiques publiques et des interventions de la société répondent effectivement aux principales préoccupations d'ordre social auxquelles sont confrontés les pays de l'OCDE. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de fournir un aperçu des tendances et des politiques sociales sans négliger pour autant les spécificités des contextes nationaux dans lesquels s'inscrivent ces politiques. Les indicateurs sociaux de Panorama de la société peuvent être classés selon deux dimensions. La première dimension correspond aux trois objectifs principaux de politique sociale, c'est-à-dire l'autonomie des personnes, l'équité et la cohésion sociale. La seconde dimension correspond à la nature des indicateurs, c'est-à-dire le contexte social, l'état de la société et les réponses qu'elle est à même d'apporter. On trouvera dans cette édition des informations sur divers thèmes de politique sociale, incluant la démographie, les caractéristiques familiales, le marché du travail, l'emploi des mères de famille, les prestations hors emploi, la pauvreté persistante, les dépenses sociales et de santé, le bien-être subjectif ou encore les taux de suicide. Ce rapport contient également un " guide " pour aider le lecteur à comprendre la structure des indicateurs sociaux de l'OCDE. Enfin, cet ouvrage donne un aperçu du rôle des indicateurs sociaux dans la mesure du bien-être des citoyens et des sociétés dans les pays de l'OCDE.
