    Abstract: Accompanying a sustained period of economic growth, the flows of labour migrants between the economies of East and South-east Asia grew considerably prior to the recent crisis. These flows have become more diverse and complex rendering necessary the improved monitoring of migration trends and policies in each country as well as bringing forth the need to extend the exchange of expertise and experience between the region's experts and policy makers. What has been the impact of the crisis on national labour markets? How have the different countries modified their approach to the employment of fo

    Abstract: International development cooperation is in crisis. Questions abound: is it effective? Is it even useful? After ten years of "aid fatigue", here is a lucid, constructive book that sheds new light on the problems, and makes proposals for reform that are both thoughtful and innovative. Jean-David Naudet's analysis is a genuine contribution to the literature on aid. He combines the insight of the sociologist and the experience of the practitioner, with a few enlightening incursions into organization theory. The book is both pragmatic and concrete, and is based on papers and workshops or

    Abstract: Various risks affect the income and the welfare of farm households. A large number of strategies are available to deal specifically with income risk. They exist against a general background of widespread government intervention that modifies the risks faced by farmers. In the context of agricultural policy reform, a challenge for policy makers is to better define the role of public policy versus market-based mechanisms to deal with income risk in agriculture. The OECD workshop examined the various strategies used by farm households, in particular those attracting renewed interest such as diver

    Abstract: How did the transition from compulsory education to work change during the 1990s and which types of transition policies worked best? The experiences of 14 OECD countries are examined in this volume to address these two key questions, for as requirements for knowledge and qualifications and skills rise and populations age, few countries can afford to have their young people enter the labour force unequipped for longer term participation in changing career patterns. Taking a broader view of transition outcomes than many previous comparative studies, this study reveals the complex and many-facete

    Abstract: What qualifies an economy as "emerging"? The answers provided in this book lead to a fresh conception of the diversity of the African continent. Thus, growth dynamics cannot simply be measured in economic terms. Indicators must also include governance, efficiency and democracy of institutions, and an appropriate climate for business. All these issues are linked to policies, and the outstanding conclusion of this book, in the face of embedded "Afro-pessimism", is that policies do matter for growth; that there is no "African mystery", simply poor policies and bad governance.

    Abstract: Eradicating poverty has long been one of the priorities of development co-operation. Yet, despite undoubted progress towards this goal, the strategies adopted at the international and national levels remain controversial. Poverty reduction is a complex issue, involving numerous players in a host of economic, social, political and environmental policy fields. The originality of this publication lies in its approach to identifying best practice, an approach which is as open and thorough as the state of the art will allow. How realistic is it to seek to cut extreme poverty by half by the year 201

If it is to succeed as the peace process advances, the achievements of past urban regeneration efforts need to be evaluated in order to set in place effective policies and strategies for the future. Beginning with environmental priorities, Laganside Corporation, a limited life public body responsible for the regeneration of derelict and abandonned land adjacent to the River Lagan, has facilitated enormous physical, economic and social change right in the centre of Belfast. This book identifies strategies that can help local agencies and actors bett

    Abstract: Mankind now enjoys many benefits from nuclear-related technologies. There is, however, growing concern in many OECD countries that nuclear education and training is decreasing, perhaps to problematic levels. This publication conveys the results of a pioneering survey on nuclear education and training in almost 200 organisations in 16 countries. It presents the current situation and examines causes for concern. It also provides recommendations as to the actions that governments, academia and industry must take in order to ensure that crucial present requirements are met and future options are not precluded.

    Learning to Bridge the Digital Divide (2000)

    DDC: 303.4833
    Keywords: Education ; Science and Technology
    Abstract: Across the OECD, attention is focusing increasingly on what has been dubbed the "digital divide" - a term that refers to the gaps in access to information and communication technology (ICT). The stakes are high, as ICT is now integral to the social fabric and is the catalyst for "new economies" to emerge. Exclusion threatens the ICT "have-nots", whether individuals, groups or entire countries. Political awareness of the stakes at issue grows sharply, as indicated by the prominence of the digital divide in G-8 discussions. Education and learning lie at the heart of these issues and their solutions. They are the lifeblood of our 21st century knowledge societies, and ICT is critical to them. The gaps that define the "learning digital divide" are thus as important as the more obvious gaps in access to the technology itself. Learning is central in the still more fundamental sense that the machines and equipment are useless without the competence to exploit them. Nurturing this competence is in part the job of schools and colleges, in part dependent on the learning that takes place throughout life in homes, communities, and workplaces. This volume meets an important need in the contemporary international literature on education policy, lifelong learning, and economic and social development. It presents analysis of the "learning digital divide" in different countries - developed and developing - and the policies and specific innovations designed to bridge it. The evidence shows that ICT can be the solution to inequalities rather than their cause - digital diversity and opportunity rather than digital divide.

    Abstract: Over the past decade, privatisation has increasingly taken place in the public utility sector. Technological advances and policy shifts have diminished the perception that public utilities are natural monopolies requiring state ownership. However, the privatisation of such state-owned monopolies raises important regulatory issues. In particular, there should be an adequate regulatory framework to promote competition and, especially if rigorous market competition is lacking, to protect the interests of consumers. Therefore, privatisation needs to be pursued in tandem with competition-enhancing

Many analysts suggest that nuclear's share of global energy supply could decrease in coming decades. If energy markets and national energy policies continue along "business as usual" lines, what are the issues that arise? What are the consequences for the long-term availability of nuclear technology and expertise? This book identifies the issues in a series of papers presented at a recent meeting j

    Abstract: The fight against the illegal entry, residence and employment of foreigners is one of the key priorities of the immigration policies of the OECD countries. This irregular migration continues to persist, albeit at different levels for different receiving countries, both in countries that have expressed a political will to manage migration flows more effectively and to fight against the trafficking of labour, and in those that continue to receive a large number of immigrants every year as part of an active policy to recruit permanent migrant workers. In the light of the growing role of trafficki

    Abstract: Voluntary approaches are schemes whereby firms make commitments to improve their environmental performance.They cover arrangements such as public voluntary programmes, negotiated agreements or unilateral commitments. Until recently, voluntary approaches have not been subject to systematic analysis, inasmuch as, unlike taxes and tradable permits, they have not been prescribed by economic theory. Voluntary approaches were "invented" by those who devise and implement them: policy-makers, business associations, individual firms, non-governmental associations, etc. The use of voluntary ap

    Abstract: In response to growing demand by policy-makers, various measures to assess tax burdens of households, individual firms and the business sector as a whole have been developed. This study reviews some of the most common measures used to gauge tax burdens of households and corporations. In addition, it provides some illustrative numbers from various sources on tax rates and tax burdens in OECD countries. The study concludes that all current measures reviewed have at least some important shortcomings. Results based on these measures should therefore be interpreted with their limitations in mind, a

Fair and reliable public services inspire public trust and create a favourable environment for businesses, thus contributing to well-functioning markets and economic growth. Public ethics are a prerequisite to public trust and a keystone of good governance.

    Abstract: The agenda of universities has moved on from a desire to simply increase the general education level of the population and the output of scientific research; there is now a greater concern to harness university education and research to specific economic and social objectives. Nowhere is this demand for specificity more clear than in the field of regional development. What contribution do universities make to the development of the regions they are located in? They certainly have passive impacts in terms of direct and indirect employment; yet, how can the resources of universities be mobilised to actively contribute to the development process? The challenge addressed in this book is how should higher education institutions respond to demands which are emanating from a set of actors and agencies concerned with regional development and thus help reach national objectives. This book is based on case studies presented at various conferences focusing on Australia, the Baltic States and Scandinavia, continental Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom. The case study material is supplemented by other sources of information about national higher education policy, including major national surveys of higher education in Australia, Finland and the United Kingdom each of which embrace the regional agenda.

    Abstract: NGOs have moved out of the "amateur" world in which they were once confined into, in many cases, highly professional activities. This statistical analysis demonstrates that there are thousands of development NGOs in European countries with as much as $7.3 billion at their disposal. Supported by a large number of tables and graphs, as well as detailed, individual country surveys, the author provides the first-ever such study of what has become a late-twentieth, early twenty-first century phenomenon. When the results of the study are extrapolated to OECD Development Assistance Committee members as a whole, they suggest that the total income of NGOs would amount to almost $16 billion, a figure three times that estimated by organisations such as the World Bank. Depending on the country, up to half of this income comes from official sources, implying that NGOs have become major partners for governments in the development field.

    Abstract: How to engage and maintain teenagers’ interest in school "work"? Young children rarely lack curiosity, but as they enter the teenage years their appetite for learning often appears to shrink. Many eventually drop out before the end of compulsory schooling. Others continue to turn up for school but make the minimum effort. They are present in body, but not in mind. Such problems are generally associated with Western countries but even Japan and Korea, two of the most academically successful Pacific Rim nations, are not immune. These figures take on new significance in an era when one of the essential survival tools for individuals -- and nations -- is a willingness to learn and re-learn. What can governments and education systems do to inculcate the "zest for learning" that young people will need if they are to thrive in 21st-century post-industrial societies? This is one of the key questions which is addressed in this review of eight countries offering innovative schemes that appear to be developing the skills and attitudes necessary for lifelong learning.

    Abstract: Given its potential significance for public health and the environment, the impact of radioactive releases during important steps of nuclear energy production must be considered when selecting among different fuel cycles. With this in mind, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has undertaken a comparative study of the radiological impacts of two main fuel cycle options: one with and one without reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. The study compares the respective impacts of the two options based on generic models and assumptions as well as actual data. It concludes that the difference between them is not significant. A wealth of recent data assembled and evaluated by an international expert team is provided in annex.

    Abstract: Integrated performance assessments (IPAs) of radioactive waste repositories deep underground are made at different stages of repository development in order, for example, to allow full-scale development, to provide feedback to R&D, and to test and develop review capability. IPA studies must be acceptable to a wide range of stakeholders and are one of the bases for dialogue amongst regulators and implementers of disposal facilities. The goal of the IPAG-2 study was to examine the experience of regulatory reviews of IPAs, from both the implementer and regulator points of view. Ten implementer and seven regulatory organisations participated. This report presents the lessons learnt from their review experiences, and provides recommendations to aid future regulatory decision making.

    Keywords: Konsumentenverhalten ; Nachhaltige Entwicklung ; Erneuerbare Ressourcen ; OECD-Staaten ; Environment ; Nachhaltigkeit ; Verbraucherverhalten
    Abstract: Addressing unsustainable patterns of consumption is a crucial challenge for OECD Member countries in tackling environmental problems. However, measures to influence consumer demand have, in the past, received less attention than measures to influence production patterns. This progress report provides an initial overview of the broad array of policies and policy instruments which OECD Member countries are already using or considering to influence consumer demand for certain goods and services. These include a wide range of regulatory, economic and social policy instruments, as well as other actions by government, such as capital investment and the use of the land-use planning system. Such actions often form part of Member countries' strategies to tackle major environmental problems, such as climate change. This report reviews currently available information on the success of Member country initiatives in influencing consumption patterns. It finds that detailed information on the effectiveness of these policies is still limited, partly because many of the measures have only recently been put in place. It also identifies next steps for the OECD and for its Member countries, both to improve knowledge of policy initiatives and to take more effective action to influence consumption patterns.

En fait, ce terme recouvre des dispositions diverses, qui vont de la simple notification des mouvements transfrontières à l’utilisation de sanctions commerciales imposées à un pays pour qu’il change de comportement en matière d’environnement. Le recours à de telles mesures dans le cadre des AME n'a pas été sans susciter des controverses dans les milieux responsables de la politique commerciale et de la politique de l’environnement. Pour démêler l'écheveau complexe de ces problèmes qui touchent tant au commerce qu'à l'environnement, la Session conjointe des experts des échanges et de l’environnement de l’OCDE a analysé l’utilisation de mesures commerciales à travers les exemples concrets qu'offrent trois AME adoptés par un grand nombre de pays : CITES (sur les espèces menacées d’extinction), le Protocole de Montréal (sur les substances qui appauvrissent la couche d’ozone) et la Convention de Bâle (sur les déchets dangereux). Si les études de cas révèlent, comme on pouvait s’y attendre, des expériences très diverses, certains problèmes et grands thèmes communs s'en dégagent, ainsi qu’une série d’enseignements ; ils sont synthétisés dans le dernier chapitre de ce volume.

    Abstract: Les droits des élèves handicapés à être scolarisés, près de chez eux, au sein du système éducatif classique sont de plus en plus reconnus dans la plupart des pays. Rien ne justifie le maintien de structures séparées pour ces élèves dans les systèmes éducatifs publics ; bien au contraire, ce sont ces systèmes qu'il faut revoir pour qu'ils satisfassent les besoins de tous les élèves. A travers une analyse approfondie des pratiques d'insertion scolaire de huit pays, ce livre aborde les questions soulevées pour assurer le succès de ces initiatives. Il ressort de cette étude, qui constitue la comparaison internationale la plus détaillée menée à ce jour, que tous les élèves, quels que soient la nature ou l'importance de leur handicap, peuvent être intégrés dans une scolarité classique pour peu que certaines précautions soient prises.Neuf questions s'affirment d'une importance cruciale : les principes de financement des établissements, les systèmes de contrôle public de l'utilisation des fonds par les écoles, l'évaluation des élèves, l'élaboration des programmes, le ratio maître-élèves, le rôle des aides éducateurs, le fonctionnement des services de soutien, la formation des enseignants et des autres spécialistes, et la participation de la collectivité et des parents. Les études de cas par pays sont complétées par des annexes décrivant la formation la plus efficace à donner aux enseignants spécialisés, et élaborant une procédure d'analyse coût-efficacité pour l'enseignement intégré.Pour en savoir plus Sur le même thème, l'OCDE a déjà publié Implementing Inclusive Education (1997), disponible en anglais uniquement, L'enseignement post-obligatoire pour les personnes handicapées (1997), et L'intégration scolaire des élèves à besoins particuliers (1995). Une analyse quantitative des données fera l'objet de travaux ultérieurs, à paraître en 2000.Pays couverts Allemagne Australie Canada Danemark Etats-Unis Islande Italie Royaume-Uni

    Keywords: Employment ; Governance ; United States ; USA ; Arbeitsverwaltung
    Abstract: Over the last decade, labour market policy in the United States has been undergoing a period of significant restructuring. In the face of welfare reform initiatives, persistent unemployment and declines in real income among some groups (particularly the less skilled), and continued economic expansion, there is pressure on the public employment service (PES) to improve effectiveness. But, it must also come to terms with resource limitations. How have reforms fared so far -- what seems to be working well or not so well? Which of the new approaches may require revision in the event of an economic downturn? Where might adjustments lead to improved effectiveness? While considering such questions, this publication provides an in-depth look at the PES and recent policy initiatives in the United States. Areas of concern about recent reforms are outlined and options for making policies more effective are presented.

    Abstract: Depuis le début des années 1990, la politique du marché du travail traverse une période de profonde restructuration aux États-Unis. On demande au service public de l'emploi (SPE) d'être plus efficace tout en faisant face à des ressources limitées, dans un contexte de réforme de la protection sociale, de chômage persistant, de recul du revenu réel dans certaines couches de la population (notamment chez les moins qualifiés) et d'expansion économique durable. Quel bilan tirer des réformes menées jusqu'ici -- lesquelles semblent réussir et lesquelles marchent moins bien ? Parmi ces nouvelles approches lesquelles faudrait-il revoir en cas de ralentissement économique ? Dans quels domaines les ajustements peuvent-ils conduire à davantage d'efficacité ? Cet ouvrage répond à ces questions et offre une analyse approfondie du SPE des États-Unis et des initiatives récentes prises en la matière. Il expose les sujets de préoccupation soulevés par les réformes récentes ainsi que les options pour rendre les politiques plus efficaces.

    Keywords: Education ; Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Erwachsenenbildung ; Ausgrenzung
    Abstract: L'exclusion sociale est un des grands problèmes qui se posent en cette veille de XXIe siècle. Si le niveau de richesse des pays de l'OCDE tend généralement à s'accroître, nombreux sont ceux qui n'en bénéficient pas. Et les perspectives sont pour certains de plus en plus sombres. La formation -- qu'elle se situe dans un cadre institutionnel, dans divers contextes communautaires, ou dans l'entreprise -- représente l'un des principaux moyens de lutte contre l'exclusion. Alors que l'impact de la scolarité sur les jeunes est bien connu, les relations qui existent entre l'exclusion et la formation des adultes sont moins bien étudiées. Cet ouvrage s'efforce de combler cette lacune en décrivant 19 expériences innovantes qui ont porté leurs fruits dans six pays : la Belgique (communauté flamande), le Mexique, la Norvège, les Pays-Bas, le Portugal et le Royaume-Uni (Angleterre). Dans quelle mesure ces expériences répondent-elles aux besoins de formation des adultes menacés par l'exclusion ? Comment sont-elles organisées et en quoi sont-elles novatrices ? L'étude cherche à répondre essentiellement à ces deux questions, en prenant en compte non seulement le point de vue des organisateurs, des administrateurs et des observateurs de ces expériences, mais aussi celui des adultes concernés.

    Keywords: Environment ; Umsetzung
    Abstract: Face aux inquiétudes croissantes que le changement climatique suscite à travers le monde, en 1997, de nombreux pays, dont la plupart des pays de l'OCDE, ont approuvé le Protocole de Kyoto. Ce Protocole a fixé des objectifs pour les émissions futures des gaz à effet de serre responsables du changement climatique, mais il a laissé en suspens de nombreuses décisions qui continuent d'être débattues alors que le temps passe et que les échéances fixées pour les objectifs se rapprochent à grands pas. Des incertitudes plus grandes encore pèsent sur les impératifs d’action à plus long terme. Les objectifs de Kyoto sont loin d’être suffisants pour prévenir le changement climatique ; au mieux, ils constituent un premier pas vers une action mondiale ambitieuse. La question est donc de dégager un consensus à l’échelle mondiale sur l’action à entreprendre, et de déterminer les répercussions économiques qu'elle aura. Sur la base des données scientifiques disponibles, une certaine modification du climat semble à ce point inévitable quelles que soient les mesures prises : il faut donc se demander quelles seront ses conséquences et comment s’y préparer. Quelles sont les principales questions laissées en suspens par le Protocole de Kyoto ? Quels sont les coûts de mise en œuvre du Protocole et comment minimiser ces coûts ? Comment répartir le fardeau économique entre les pays pour dégager un large consensus sur l’action globale ? Quel sera l’impact d’un éventuel changement climatique et quelles mesures adopter pour faciliter l’ajustement ? Voici quelques-unes des questions analysées par cet ouvrage dont l'ambition n'est pas d'apporter des réponses définitives, mais plutôt de jeter un éclairage inédit sur un débat essentiel. Le projet de l'OCDE sur le développement durable Cet ouvrage est le fruit du projet triennal de l'OCDE sur le développement durable, lancé en avril 1998 pour répondre au mandat donné par les ministres de l'OCDE. Il va de pair avec l'ouvrage intitulé Changement climatique : les politiques nationales et le Protocole de Kyoto (1999). D'autres publications sont prévues dans le cadre de ce projet, et notamment un rapport majeur en 2001 qui servira de base aux discussions de la Réunion du Conseil de l'OCDE au niveau des ministres.

    Abstract: L’idée d’isoler de l’environnement humain les déchets radioactifs à vie longue en les stockant dans des dépôts profonds remonte à plusieurs décennies. Depuis, les recherches réalisées dans le monde ont renforcé nos connaissances et notre compréhension du fonctionnement des systèmes de stockage souterrain sur des périodes très longues. On a également bien avancé vers la réalisation de ces installations. Cependant, les programmes d’évacuation des déchets radioactifs ont subi des retards dans plusieurs pays. Ce rapport fait le tour des évolutions intervenues dans le domaine de l’évacuation au cours de la dernière décennie. Les principales sources de données de l’étude sont les réponses à un questionnaire, fournies par les organismes s’occupant de la gestion des déchets représentés au sein du Comité de la gestion des déchets radioactifs (RWMC). Ce comité regroupe des experts internationaux issus d’autorités de sûreté, d’agences de gestion de déchets, d’institutions de R-D ainsi que des organismes décisionnels

    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Development ; Auslandsinvestition ; Direktinvestition ; Wirtschaftspolitik
    Abstract: La concurrence à laquelle se livrent les gouvernements pour attirer les IDE est un sujet de recherche qui a reçu peu d’attention jusqu'à présent. Pourtant, nombreux sont ceux qui estiment que ce phénomène a des effets néfastes, en ce qu’il conduit les pouvoirs publics à faire passer au second plan les normes de protection de l'environnement ou les droits des travailleurs. Cet ouvrage s’attache aux faits et évalue l'impact de la concurrence entre gouvernements pour attirer les IDE. Cette analyse n’apporte pas directement la preuve qu’on assiste à un recul généralisé des normes de travail et d'environnement. Toutefois, le recours massif aux incitations à l'investissement, dans les pays de l'OCDE comme dans les pays en développement, ne joue pas en faveur de la transparence et de la responsabilité des autorités à l'égard du public, ce qui est hautement préjudiciable à l'élaboration des politiques économiques et à l'édification d'institutions démocratiques dans les pays en développement. L'auteur propose d’opter pour une approche basée sur des règles nationales et internationales, plutôt que de chercher à attirer les IDE par des mesures fondées sur des incitations.

    Abstract: L’ouverture des échanges et l’augmentation des flux d’investissements qui caractérisent le processus de mondialisation et d’intégration régionale vont-elles faciliter la maîtrise des flux migratoires ? L’accélération de la convergence des économies et l'accroissement des échanges de main-d'oeuvre qualifiée garantiront-ils un développement durable des pays à fort potentiel migratoire ? Cet ouvrage tente de répondre à ces questions. Si la situation démographique et économique diffère notablement en Europe centrale et orientale, dans le Bassin méditerranéen, en Amérique du Nord et en Asie, les mêmes conditions doivent être réunies pour favoriser une intégration régionale plus poussée tout en réduisant à terme l’incitation à émigrer. Il faut notamment réformer le secteur public, assurer le développement des infrastructures socio-économiques, et mettre en oeuvre les mesures permettant d’assainir les circuits financiers, d’attirer les investissements étrangers, de diffuser l’innovation et de promouvoir les transferts de technologies. Il faut enfin garder à l'esprit la dimension géopolitique de l’intégration régionale et le rôle majeur que la valorisation des ressources humaines est appelée à jouer dans les politiques migratoires de demain.

    Abstract: The appraisal of the substantial investments which are made in educational facilities remains a largely unexplored field of research. Is it possible to develop reliable and effective criteria for evaluation, given the wide range of parameters from planning and cost-effectiveness of buildings to their impact on the performance of the educational system as a whole? These questions, which are facing every modern educational system, are of concern to investors and funding bodies, as well as those who are responsible for planning, managing and designing educational facilities.

    Abstract: A la fin de 1997, la Corée a été frappée par une grave crise économique et financière qui a notamment entraîné une forte hausse du chômage. Ni les institutions du marché du travail ni les institutions sociales n’avaient anticipé la crise, de sorte que de nombreux travailleurs ainsi que leurs familles ont été durement touchés.L’économie s’est maintenant redressée. Cet ouvrage montre que la politique du marché du travail et la politique sociale du gouvernement ont aidé à minimiser le coût de la crise et permis de la surmonter ; il en va de même des mesures destinées à renforcer les droits fondamentaux des travailleurs. Cependant, ce livre souligne également la nécessité de mettre en œuvre d'autres réformes afin que la croissance économique soit saine et durable sur le plan social : il s'agit plus que jamais de poursuivre l'élan des réformes.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage se propose d’identifier les éléments qui permettraient aux pays d’Asie de renouer avec la confiance, tout en stabilisant les flux financiers à l’échelle de la planète. Des mesures sont ainsi préconisées pour améliorer la gestion des affaires publiques et privées, renforcer la démocratie et augmenter l’efficacité des institutions de régulation. Parallèlement, les économies émergentes devraient pouvoir participer davantage aux instances internationales de régulation, de sorte que toute proposition pour contrecarrer la volatilité des flux financiers prenne en considération leur avis et leurs intérêts. Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions présentées lors de la cinquième édition du Forum international sur les perspectives asiatiques, qui s’est tenu à Paris en juin 1999. Le Forum a été conçu par la Banque Asiatique de Développement et le Centre de Développement de l’OCDE comme un lieu de rencontre annuelle entre les pays d’Asie et les pays de l’OCDE visant à faciliter les échanges d’idées et de stratégies. Ce Forum est l’occasion pour les partenaires de mettre en commun leurs expériences et leurs connaissances afin d’exploiter au mieux leurs atouts spécifiques et de trouver des solutions aux problèmes économiques de l’Asie. Le Forum comporte également une conférence publique où ces idées sont débattues avec de nombreux participants, venus de domaines aussi divers que la politique, l’administration, le monde universitaire, les médias et les milieux d’affaires.

    Abstract: Les matières radioactives rejetées tout au long des principales étapes de la production d’énergie nucléaire peuvent avoir un effet sur la santé publique et l’environnement : il convient d’en tenir compte dans les choix à effectuer parmi les cycles du combustible. Consciente de la situation, l’Agence de l’OCDE pour l’énergie nucléaire (AEN) a réalisé une étude visant à comparer les incidences radiologiques des deux principaux cycles du combustible qui se distinguent l’un de l’autre par le retraitement ou non du combustible nucléaire usé. Après avoir comparé les effets respectifs des deux options tant à partir de modèles et d’hypothèses génériques que de données réelles, l’étude conclut que la différence entre les deux n’est pas significative. Le rapport comporte en annexe une grande quantité de données récentes compilées et évaluées par une équipe internationale d’experts.

    Keywords: Transport ; Transport ; Benchmarking
    Abstract: - Qu’est-ce que l’« analyse comparative » ? - Cette méthode peut-elle être utile aux responsables politiques ? - Quels enseignements les décideurs peuvent-ils en tirer aux niveaux national et international ? Autant de questions auxquelles la conférence organisée les 22 et 23 novembre 1999 par la Commission européenne et la CEMT s’est efforcée de répondre. Cet ouvrage présente les actes de cette conférence. La première partie fait le point sur différents aspects méthodologiques soulevés par l’application des méthodes d’analyse comparative. La conférence a permis d’élucider les nombreux concepts à prendre en compte dans ce type de mécanisme et de recenser diverses pratiques, depuis celle qui consiste à utiliser l’analyse comparative comme un simple outil statistique jusqu’à celles qui ont un véritable impact sur l’action des pouvoirs publics. La deuxième partie décrit plusieurs exemples concrets d’application de l’analyse comparative dans le secteur des transports, en particulier dans des domaines tels que la sécurité routière, le transport ferroviaire, l’environnement, les transports publics et urbains, les ports maritimes et le fret aérien. Le lecteur pourra aborder les différents chapitres séparément. Le message fondamental qui se dégage de tous les exemples présentés est clair : il est essentiel d’améliorer la qualité des statistiques afin d’accroître la fiabilité des résultats de l’analyse comparative dans les transports.

    Keywords: Employment ; Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Ausländer ; Illegale Beschäftigung
    Abstract: La lutte contre les entrées illégales, l’irrégularité du séjour et du travail des étrangers s’inscrit au cœur des priorités de la politique migratoire des pays de l’OCDE. La persistance des migrations irrégulières, avec des ampleurs diverses selon les pays, concerne non seulement ceux d’entre eux qui ont affirmé leur volonté de mieux maîtriser les flux et de lutter contre les trafics de main-d’œuvre, mais aussi ceux qui continuent à accueillir chaque année un nombre élevé d’immigrés dans le cadre de politiques actives de recrutement de migrants permanents. Face au rôle croissant joué par les réseaux de trafiquants ainsi que leur implication de plus en plus active dans les mouvements internationaux de main-d’œuvre, le développement d’une politique de prévention et de lutte contre l’emploi d’étrangers en situation irrégulière passe par un renforcement de la coopération aux niveaux national et international. Il faut notamment que les mesures prises dans ce cadre visent le travail non déclaré en général, et pas uniquement l’emploi d’étrangers en situation irrégulière. Par ailleurs, une meilleure communication s’impose : les risques et les sanctions encourues en cas d’emploi de main-d’œuvre illégale devraient être clairement exposés aux employeurs et aux travailleurs des secteurs dans lesquels ces pratiques sont courantes, mais aussi aux employeurs qui recourent de manière occasionnelle à de la main-d’œuvre non déclarée et aux pays d’origine. Certaines mesures spécifiques adoptées par plusieurs pays, dont le système de déclaration préalable à l’embauche, l’incitation financière à l’emploi de travailleurs légaux ou bien la simplification des formalités d’embauche, pourraient être appliquées dans un plus grand nombre de pays. En outre, au sein de chaque pays, le développement du partenariat entre les administrations compétentes, d’une part, et les partenaires sociaux, de l’autre, devrait être encouragé, de même que l’extension de la coopération internationale pour mieux contrôler et maîtriser les flux migratoires.

    Abstract: La consommation de produits et services des administrations représente, selon les estimations, entre 9 et 25 % du PIB dans les pays de l’OCDE. Compte tenu de l’importance des marchés publics, les autorités nationales et locales s’intéressent de plus en plus aux possibilités d’améliorer la qualité de l’environnement en optant pour des produits plus écologiques. Cet ouvrage décrit les expériences réussies, ainsi que les efforts déployés et les difficultés rencontrées par les pays de l'OCDE dans ce domaine en mettant l'accent sur le rôle et les préoccupations des autorités responsables des achats publics. Il montre par ailleurs comment le « verdissement » des marchés publics peut contribuer à la réalisation d’autres objectifs primordiaux tels que la réduction des coûts de fonctionnement des administrations, l’amélioration de la gestion publique et la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

    Abstract: Le tourisme joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans les économies de nombreux pays de l'OCDE. Comment mesurer l'impact économique du tourisme et son potentiel de création d'emplois ? Le compte satellite du tourisme et le module emploi - deux nouveaux instruments économiques élaborés par le Comité du tourisme de l'OCDE - permettent de déterminer l'impact socio-économique, la structure et l'évolution des activités liées au tourisme. Pour la première fois, Mesurer le rôle du tourisme dans les pays de l’OCDE: Manuel de l’OCDE sur les comptes satellites du tourisme et l’emploi décrit les expériences nationales les plus récentes dans la mise en oeuvre des comptes satellites du tourisme et présente les résultats des efforts déployés au cours de la dernière décennie pour développer de nouvelles méthodes d'analyse du tourisme et de l'emploi touristique. A travers l’analyse des expériences de 16 pays de l’OCDE, ce document attire l'attention du lecteur sur l'importance économique croissante du tourisme et fournit des éléments pratiques pour la mise en place d'outils de mesure de l'impact du tourisme et pour l'interprétation des résultats.

    Abstract: La question de l’évaluation des investissements en équipements éducatifs constitue un domaine de recherche encore largement inexploré. Comment parvenir à définir des critères d’évaluation fiables et efficaces, tenant compte des divers paramètres allant de la planification et de la rentabilité des équipements à la performance du système éducatif dans sa totalité ? Responsables des investissements et du financement, de la planification, de la conception et de la gestion dans le champ de l’éducation sont également concernés par ces questions auxquelles tous les systèmes éducatifs contemporains sont confrontés.

    Abstract: Until recently, governments have measured economic progress by tallying such statistics as GDP, inflation and balance of payments. Today they agree that economic expansion should be socially and environmentally sustainable. Hence measuring progress towards sustainable development is essential to support decision making and inform the public. How should environmental and social outcomes, such as clean air and water, full employment and good health be integrated with measures of economic progress? How will we know about progress towards sustainable transport, agriculture and energy production and use? Towards sustainable development: Indicators to Measure Progress addresses these fundamental questions. The book contains the proceedings of the OECD Conference that was held in Rome in December 1999. It presents the wide range of initiatives and indicators that are already in place, and outlines the challenges that remain in measuring progress towards sustainable development.

    Keywords: Development ; Trade ; Maghreb ; Wirtschaftsbeziehungen ; Europäische Union
    Abstract: Les accords de libéralisation des échanges qui ont été signés entre l'Union européenne et les pays du Sud méditerranéen comportent à la fois des risques et des avantages. Ils révèlent également les faiblesses structurelles des pays partenaires, notamment le maintien de comportements de recherche de rente, le cloisonnement des marchés, la faiblesse du secteur privé moderne et les lacunes des systèmes fiscaux. Ces accords portant uniquement sur les produits industriels et non sur les produits agricoles et les services, la concurrence de l'UE risque de supprimer des emplois dans le secteur industriel national sur le court terme. Les auteurs de cette étude soulignent que ces accords pourraient faciliter la restructuration de l'industrie grâce à des transferts financiers, tout comme ils pourraient inciter les producteurs à se diversifier et leur ouvrir de nouveaux débouchés. La mise en œuvre de ces réformes exigera néanmoins une volonté politique de la part des pays du Sud méditerranéen ainsi que des réformes complémentaires de l'Union européenne qui ouvriraient davantage ses marchés pour y inclure les secteurs actuellement exclus du champ d'application des accords. En outre, l'analyse détaillée que font les auteurs des cas de l'Égypte et de la Tunisie montre qu'une réponse régionale aux défis posés par les accords a toutes les chances de s'avérer plus profitable qu'une réponse purement nationale.

    Abstract: NGOs have moved out of the "amateur" world in which they were once confined into, in many cases, highly professional activities. This statistical analysis demonstrates that there are thousands of development NGOs in European countries with as much as 7.3 billion at their disposal. Supported by a large number of tables and graphs, as well as detailed, individual country surveys, the author provides the first-ever such study of what has become a late-twentieth, early twenty-first century phenomenon. When the results of the study are extrapolated to OECD Development Assistance Committee

    Abstract: Pourquoi l’OCDE ainsi que d’autres membres de la communauté internationale se sont-ils mobilisés pour combattre la corruption ? La réponse est simple : la corruption ne respecte pas les frontières, ne fait pas de distinctions économiques et gangrène toutes les formes de gouvernement. À long terme, aucun pays ne peut se permettre de supporter les coûts sociaux, politiques ou économiques qu’induit la corruption. Il n’y a pas si longtemps, corrompre des agents publics dans des pays étrangers pour obtenir des marchés constituait une pratique commerciale, sinon acceptable, du moins tolérée dans de nombreux pays de l’OCDE. Aujourd’hui, le dossier de la corruption fait partie des principales préoccupations des pouvoirs publics à l’échelle mondiale car ses répercussions dramatiques sur le développement économique et ses effets corrosifs sur la stabilité politique et les institutions démocratiques sont devenus de plus en plus évidents.En ce nouveau millénaire, l’OCDE et les gouvernements de ses pays Membres, qui représentent plus de 75 % des échanges et de l’investissement dans le monde vont se soumettre à des règles du jeu plus strictes. La Convention sur la lutte contre la corruption d’agents publics étrangers dans les transactions commerciales internationales va bannir la pratique consistant à corrompre des agents publics étrangers, ce qui contribuera à l’équité et à l’ouverture de la concurrence internationale. La corruption dans les transactions commerciales ne représente qu’une partie du problème. Tout un arsenal d’instruments juridiques destinés à combattre la corruption a désormais été mis au point afin d’améliorer les normes éthiques dans le secteur public, de mettre fin à la déductibilité fiscale des pots-de-vin, de faire reculer le blanchiment de capitaux et d’assainir les pratiques en matière de passation de marchés publics. Quant au secteur privé et à la société civile, ils continueront de jouer un rôle déterminant dans le combat pour faire passer ces nouvelles règles dans la réalité. Cet ouvrage apporte les éléments indispensables pour construire et préserver des institutions, des systèmes et des entreprises privées libérés de la corruption.
