Investing in health promotion and disease prevention is essential for improving population health and strengthening the resilience of health systems to emerging threats. Yet available data indicate that prevention accounts for only around 3% of total health expenditure across the European Union. This low share has attracted considerable policy attention but also partly reflects limitations in available data. Countries often struggle to identify and allocate preventive expenditure, particularly when activities span institutions or are embedded within broader health programmes. This can lead to underreporting and limit international comparability. This working paper assesses the quality and completeness of countries’ reporting on health promotion and disease prevention and develops methods to quantify identified gaps. Initial results suggest that reported expenditure may underestimate preventive spending by around one-quarter, with the largest gaps in healthy condition monitoring programmes and epidemiological surveillance. The paper also explores the scope for additional granularity for policy purposes by identifying expenditure targeted at particular risk factors, population groups and diseases. Most feasible seems disaggregating immunisation spending by type of vaccine and identifying the costs of individual cancer screening programmes. On the other hand, granular reporting of collective activities such as health promotion and epidemiological surveillance is more challenging for countries because aggregate programme information is frequently lacking in detail making attribution to specific public health activities more difficult.

Building AI models requires vast amounts of high-quality data, some of which inevitably includes personal data. Yet privacy-compliant data collection can strengthen data quality by fostering user trust. This policy brief examines how user control and privacy protections can be enhanced across two prominent data collection mechanisms: user interactions with generative AI systems such as chatbots, and web scraping of publicly available data. It reviews emerging regulatory guidance and industry practices, including transparency and opt-out tools, privacy-enhancing technologies, user rights and redress mechanisms, and multi-stage data filtering. It also explores the challenges of data memorisation in model weights, the promise of machine unlearning, and the implications of agentic AI systems. The brief concludes with recommendations for policymakers to support pragmatic collaboration between regulators and industry, while safeguarding user control over personal data.

Access to health data for secondary uses that serve the public interest can improve health outcomes, strengthen health system performance and support healthcare innovation. When combined with responsible and trustworthy AI, such data can generate new insights, enhance decision-making and help address complex health challenges. However, enabling access and re-use while safeguarding privacy requires robust governance and careful review by authorised bodies. Today, a lack of clear definitions and differing approaches across review bodies can create barriers to data access and impede collaboration within and across countries. This policy brief identifies five broad categories of criteria relevant to assessing public interest: population health and planning; research and innovation; ethical and risk considerations; health equity; and public communication and transparency. It also outlines approaches to help policymakers enable more consistent, trusted and effective health data governance.

This report provides an update on developments in the OECD’s tax work since the last Secretary-General report in April, with a focus on the role tax policy can play in supporting business dynamism and economic growth. Highlighting ongoing research by the OECD, the report explores how corporate income tax (CIT) policies can support business dynamism – by examining the effects of tax rates, compliance costs, loss-offset provisions, financing frictions and competitive distortions – and provides an overview of how tax policy can support a more dynamic and competitive business environment. It links the work on CIT to a holistic approach towards dynamism and notes areas for further exploration. It was prepared by the OECD ahead of the third G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meeting under the United States G20 Presidency, held 15 October 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.

This report provides an update on ongoing work examining the role of tax policy, and corporate income tax in particular, in supporting business dynamism, investment, and economic growth. Drawing on ongoing OECD research, it analyses how corporate taxation affects business dynamism through channels such as corporate tax design, compliance costs, loss-relief provisions, financing frictions, and competitive distortions. Finally, it situates the analysis within broader OECD work on the non-tax determinants of business dynamism, highlighting the importance of a coherent policy framework that also addresses wider structural barriers to business growth and dynamism.

Effective justice systems underpin the rule of law, trust in public institutions, social development and economic productivity. This report provides the first cross-country assessment of the implementation of the OECD Recommendation on Access to Justice and People-Centred Justice Systems. Covering OECD and Justice Action Coalition member and partner countries, it combines evidence on people’s justice problems, pathways and outcomes with analysis of the policies and institutional arrangements of the justice system. The findings show that justice problems remain widespread and consequential, while significant gaps persist in tailoring assistance and co-ordinating across justice pathways. Although countries are making progress in digitalisation, service innovation and user engagement, more can be done to use legal needs evidence for policymaking and implementation, invest in research and development, and link resources and outcomes. The report highlights the need to move beyond institution-centred approaches towards justice as a responsive public service, supported by stronger data and evidence, integrated service delivery, outcome-oriented planning and financing, and continuous learning and improvement.

This paper forms part of the OECD’s Ukraine Country Programme and draws on international and comparative evidence to inform reforms of Ukraine’s vocational education and training qualification system. It examines the design and governance of vocational qualifications, assessment and certification arrangements, recognition of prior learning, and mechanisms for the timely and proportionate updating of qualifications and recognised modules. It also considers the role of sectoral collaboration, labour-market intelligence, micro-qualifications, qualification registers and alignment with European transparency instruments. The analysis identifies policy options that are compatible with Ukraine’s institutional framework, recent legal reforms and implementation capacity, with a view to supporting reconstruction, labour-market recovery, the international comparability and portability of qualifications, and lifelong learning.

Lessons from fertilisers

Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 7

Fertilisers are essential for agricultural production and food security, but recent market volatility has exposed vulnerabilities in geographically concentrated and energy-intensive supply chains. Disruptions to fertiliser markets can affect farm profitability, production decisions, food prices and food security – especially since fertilisers represent a major share of production costs for crop farmers. Impacts vary across countries according to import dependence, income levels, fiscal capacity, fertiliser use and broader food security conditions. Drawing on OECD modelling and agricultural resilience work, this policy brief highlights how policymakers can balance timely responses with longer-term preparedness and adaptation. It highlights key considerations for resilience, including clearly defined responsibilities across public and private actors, efficient input use, diversified sources of supply, and open and well-functioning markets.

What if we create the space to think collectively about the future of teaching? The OECD New Professionalism and the Future of Teaching project did just this in four education systems in 2024‑26. A specific methodology was developed to help professionals with various roles and responsibilities within and outside the education system work together to co‑create preferred visions for the future of teaching. They used and reflected on international and national evidence, including on how the nature of professionalism itself is changing, with greater focus on connective relationships, flexibility in career pathways and development opportunities. What will this mean for teaching? How can we create a future that respects current teachers, attracts new teachers and addresses emerging issues in education? How can we diversify roles within teaching? This report shows the knowledge base for this work and identifies common features across the visions developed by participants. It includes a set of visions contributed by leading minds in education. In sum, it highlights how taking time to think about the future we would like can be a positive and motivating experience that leads to identifying concrete steps on how to collectively get there.

Inclusive Framework on BEPS: Action 13

Under the BEPS Action 13 Minimum Standard, jurisdictions have committed to foster tax transparency by requesting the largest multinational enterprise groups (MNE groups) to provide the global allocation of their income, taxes and other indicators of the location of economic activity. This unprecedented information on MNE groups’ operations across the world has boosted tax authorities’ risk assessment capabilities. The Action 13 Minimum Standard was translated into specific terms of reference and a methodology for the peer review process. Since 2018, eight annual peer reviews have been conducted, covering three key areas: the domestic legal and administrative framework, the exchange of information framework, and the confidentiality and appropriate use of Country-by-Country (CbC) reports. This ninth annual peer review report presents the findings of the 2025/26 peer review, which assessed the implementation of CbC Reporting across 142 jurisdictions that provided relevant legislation or information.

Sharing data across organisations and jurisdictions generates economic and social value, increasingly so as progress in artificial intelligence depends on access to high-quality, domain-specific data. Data spaces promise trusted multi-party data sharing under federated governance, yet, despite significant public investment, few have reached operational and financial viability. Drawing on the analysis of more than 200 initiatives, including case studies of successes and failures, and an OECD Expert Workshop, this report examines where data spaces provide value that alternative data-sharing mechanisms cannot. In so doing, it illustrates how data spaces best suit settings with three or more parties, limited trust in any single intermediary, collective value creation and ongoing governance needs. Governance design, interoperability and trust-enhancing mechanisms underpin this value, but many face a bootstrapping problem, which eight policy considerations help address. The report supports OECD work on data free flow with trust (DFFT) and the OECD Recommendation on Enhancing Access to and Sharing of Data.

Advanced STEM skills are essential for the responsible use of technology. This report defines them as disciplinary, interdisciplinary, transversal and professional competence applied to complex scientific and technological problems and responsible innovation, with ethical, societal and environmental implications. Quantum technologies and artificial intelligence illustrate fields requiring advanced STEM skills, yet determining whether skills for these and other fields are in short supply is difficult. The report identifies five bottlenecks: entry into STEM higher education; persistence and completion; progression to advanced levels; career entry and effective skills use; and skills renewal across working life. Building on this framework, four policy priorities address entry, persistence and completion; progression and skills renewal; programme renewal; and career entry and the effective use and continued development of advanced STEM skills. Policy and practice examples were analysed through the OECD Mutual Learning Group on Advanced STEM Skills in Higher Education, involving researchers, policymakers and higher education practitioners from a wide range of countries. The report’s eight recommendations propose options to address constraints at individual, institutional, employer and system levels, highlighting that implementation requires collaboration across policy portfolios. The report offers a framework for strengthening the development and use of advanced STEM skills and supports implementation of the European Union’s STEM Education Strategic Plan: Skills for Competitiveness and Innovation.

This technical paper develops environment-related Trade Facilitation Indicators (env-TFIs) by linking trade facilitation measures to the stages of a product lifecycle where they most directly affect environmental traceability: production, use, and end-of-life. Building on the OECD Trade Facilitation Indicators (TFIs) framework, it assesses how trade facilitation policies and practices support or constrain the movement of goods within environmentally performing supply chains, including products subject to non-product-related processes and production method requirements and those associated with circular economy objectives. The paper defines the scope of measures captured by the env-TFIs and sets out the associated scoring methodology. It provides a consistent framework for data collection, assessment, and future updates, enabling systematic monitoring of trade facilitation practices relevant to environmental traceability. The framework is intended to support future analytical and policy work as regulatory approaches, environmental requirements and supply chain structures continue to evolve.

The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the world’s largest survey of teachers and principals. In 2024, 280 000 teachers across 55 education systems shared their views on the leadership of 17 000 principals, while principals themselves described their practices, working conditions, professional development and school organisation. This report explores why valued leadership matters, who valued principals are, where they work, what they do and how they can be supported. By bringing together the perspectives of teachers and principals, TALIS provides governments with evidence to strengthen teaching, leadership and learning conditions in schools.

Statistics increasingly need to capture the complexity of inequalities experienced by diverse populations. This paper provides a conceptual and methodological overview of how an intersectional perspective can contribute to this objective by considering how multiple individual and social characteristics interact in complex, overlapping and non-additive ways within broader social and institutional contexts. It examines how intersectional analysis can reveal inequalities and population groups that may remain hidden in aggregate statistics or single-axis analysis, thereby supporting more targeted and evidence-based policymaking. The paper discusses key statistical challenges, including data availability and quality, analytical complexity, interpretation and communication, and ethical and privacy considerations. It reviews a range of complementary approaches, from descriptive and regression-based methods to multilevel modelling, cluster and latent class analysis, machine learning and mixed methods, highlighting their strengths, limitations and appropriate use. The paper provides practical guidance for integrating an intersectional perspective into statistical analysis and production.

Ensuring that labour migration pathways function effectively is a persistent policy challenge for OECD and EU countries. The decision on whom to admit as labour migrants, and under what conditions must balance labour market needs against broader social and political considerations. This report provides a comparative overview of how OECD and EU countries regulate the admission of foreign nationals for work, examining the tools used to verify recruitment need – labour market tests, shortage occupation lists, and numerical limits – alongside eligibility criteria, acceleration mechanisms such as priority processing and recognised employer schemes, and the platforms providing public information on labour migration pathways to employers and workers. It concludes with a review of the administrative factors that shape access to these pathways in practice: processing times, fees, and documentary requirements. By benchmarking how these tools are designed and applied across 220 labour migration pathways in 41 OECD and EU countries, the report supports policymakers in analysing the trade-offs of specific admission policy choices and designing more effective labour migration systems that can meet their objectives

This annual report reviews agricultural policies in 56 countries, including the 38 OECD Member countries, five non-OECD EU Member States, and 13 emerging economies. Against the backdrop of more frequent, significant and interconnected global shocks with increasing economic impact, overall support to agriculture has increased to a new high at more than USD 950 billion in 2025, USD 121 billion or nearly 15% above 2023. Contrary to past decades of declines relative to production, the increase in support since 2023 has exceeded production growth. While the rise across emerging economies is driven predominantly by price inflating measures, the increase in OECD countries is mainly in budgetary transfers to agricultural producers, including significant ad-hoc disaster support. Despite the growing need for sector transformation, public investments in knowledge and innovation and other services to enhance sustainable productivity growth are receiving a falling share in total support in a rapidly growing agricultural sector. This report offers guidance for future-proofing policies for a more efficient, sustainable and resilient agriculture.

OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance 2026 explores how economic, social, demographic and environmental conditions differ across regions and cities in OECD countries. Looking beyond national averages, it examines where people and businesses are benefiting from new opportunities and where gaps in productivity, jobs, housing, population trends, access to services and exposure to climate risks persist. The 2026 edition pays particular attention to the geography of artificial intelligence and knowledge-based activities, housing affordability, population ageing and decline, access to social and community infrastructure, and growing exposure to heat stress. It also explores how these trends interact, shaping the ability of different places to attract people, create opportunities and adapt to change. The report provides comparable evidence for national, regional and local policy makers, researchers and others seeking to understand how where people live affects economic opportunities, quality of life and resilience to future change.

Korea’s fertility rate was 0.8 children per woman in 2025, the lowest level recorded among countries in the world. Why has this happened, what are the consequences and implications for population ageing, and what can be done about it? This review illustrates the various aspects of fertility trends, such as the strong link between marriage and parenthood, the high prevalence of one-child-families in Korea, and the growing incidence of childlessness among women. The review addresses the many issues that play a role in fertility decisions in Korea. It pays particular attention to social attitudes and norms among young people and how these may affect partnering, the continuing development of a comprehensive family support policy, the impact of high private tuition and housing costs, and the characteristics of the labour market that make work and family reconciliation and finding economic security so difficult to achieve.

Today, asset-backed pension systems play a key role in supporting people’s retirement. The eighth edition of the OECD Pensions Outlook analyses how pension assets increased in 2025 and their long-term growth since 2000, focussing on how contributions, investment income and pension payments affect their growth. To assess whether individuals are contributing enough to achieve their retirement income objectives, the Outlook examines whether individuals need to save more voluntarily to complement their mandatory pensions. It analyses how pension and insurance investors incorporate risks to the sustainability of their investment portfolios to ensure returns on investment. The report also discusses the benefits and potential downsides of financial advice for individuals’ retirement income decisions about how much to contribute and how to invest. Finally, the report explores how the taxation of inherited pensions affects individuals’ use of asset-backed pension plans to improve their retirement income.

The information and communication technology (ICT) sector is a key driver of modern economies, yet official measures of ICT value added are published with multi-year lags, limiting their usefulness for real-time monitoring. This paper extends the OECD's machine learning nowcasting model for ICT sector growth by refining its Google Trends feature set, updating it using the latest OECD Structural Analysis (STAN) Database, and introducing a selective pooling strategy based on countries' structural positions within global ICT value chains, derived from Trade in Value Added (TiVA) data. Results show that pooling countries with similar value-chain linkages improves prediction accuracy relative to global pooling. The findings suggest that the pooling strategy should be treated as a model-selection problem informed by economic structure, offering an empirically grounded framework for tracking ICT sector growth.

The ocean economy reached a record USD 3 trillion in 2025, generating expanding opportunities for economies and communities worldwide. Yet intensifying pressures on marine ecosystems and resources are threatening ocean health and testing the capacity of existing governance frameworks. Harnessing the ocean’s economic potential while safeguarding the natural systems on which it depends requires continuous evidence, more coherent policies and effective international co-operation. The Ocean Economy at a Glance provides an original integrated assessment of the ocean as an economic, environmental and governed space. Drawing on original OECD indicators, it examines the ocean’s contribution to food production, transport, energy, minerals, tourism, employment and innovation, alongside its essential roles in climate regulation, biodiversity and scientific discovery. The publication also assesses the policy and regulatory instruments available to governments, developments in ocean finance, and the benefits of closing regulatory and enforcement gaps. Using international data sources, it further sheds light on the “dark ocean economy”, including illicit activities at sea. The findings provide governments with a robust evidence base for building a more productive, innovative, sustainable, resilient and well-governed ocean economy.

Deepening Integration into a Changing Global Economy

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) can harness major technological, environmental and geopolitical transformations through deeper and more diversified regional and global economic integration. The region’s strengths in renewable energy, critical minerals, agrifood systems and artificial intelligence (AI) create opportunities to attract quality investment, expand and diversify trade, strengthen energy and food security, and move into higher-value activities in global value chains. Yet LAC remains insufficiently integrated into the global economy, while weak regional linkages, infrastructure gaps, regulatory barriers, limited financing and skills shortages constrain productivity and economic growth. Stronger regional integration, particularly in strategic sectors, can help the region connect more effectively to global markets. By strengthening infrastructure, finance, skills and regulatory frameworks, and by leveraging international partnerships for investment, technology and market access, LAC can translate its strategic assets into higher productivity, innovation, quality jobs, and more inclusive and sustainable growth.

In the mining sector, government revenue depends on mineral products being priced and measured accurately. This can be especially challenging for minerals such as copper, which have economically relevant characteristics that may vary and significantly affect pricing. The schedule presented in this report applies the mineral pricing framework – outlined in the joint OECD/IGF work Determining the Price of Minerals: A transfer pricing framework – to identify the primary economic factors influencing the price of copper. It applies the Comparable Uncontrolled Price method and aims to ensure that developing countries are able to tax copper exports appropriately.
