    Abstract: This report, part of a series covering around 20 OECD countries, contains a survey of the Finland's main barriers to employment for older workers, an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to overcome these barriers, and a set of policy recommendations to further action by public authorities and social partners. These recommendations are designed to alleviate some of the pension and health care pressures governments are facing because of ageing populations.

    Abstract: In light of the elimination of quantitative import restrictions under the WTO at the end of 2004, A New World Map in Textiles and Clothing identifies the most recent market developments throughout the entire supply chain, from natural fibres to retail distribution. It outlines the policy and regulatory challenges in the fields of trade, labour adjustment, technology and innovation, and suggests a policy framework to help deal effectively with such changes as well as to capitalise on the trade opportunities that are being created through improved market access. “A highly useful contribution to the debate on policy challenges in textiles and clothing, the book stands out from the others in recognising the influence that trade policy measures continue to exert on investment and production decisions, and in providing a synthesis of key market developments and policy issues.” Munir Ahmad, Executive Director, International Textiles and Clothing Bureau “Policy makers in all textile and clothing trading countries would be wise to heed the sound advice proffered in this comprehensive and thorough, fact-based assessment." Laura Baughman, President, Trade Partnership Worldwide, LLC. “A must read for anybody interested in the future of textiles and clothing around the world. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the expected adjustment process in usefully underscoring the role of technology and innovation and the growing importance of the business facilitation agenda.” Carlos A. Primo Braga, Senior Adviser, International Trade Department, The World Bank

    Abstract: Les pays de l’OCDE attachent une importance grandissante aux politiques de formation tout au long de la vie et aux politiques actives de l’emploi, en tant qu’instruments de la croissance économique et de l’équité sociale. Des systèmes efficaces d’information et d’orientation sont essentiels pour étayer la mise en œuvre de ces politiques, et tous les citoyens doivent acquérir les compétences nécessaires pour gérer eux-mêmes leur évolution professionnelle. Un grand décalage existe cependant entre les objectifs des décideurs publics et les capacités des systèmes nationaux d’orientation. Basée sur un examen conduit dans 14 pays de l’OCDE, cette publication étudie les moyens qui pourraient éventuellement permettre de remédier au décalage entre les services d’orientation professionnelle et l’action gouvernementale.

    Abstract: OECD countries are attaching rising importance to lifelong learning and active employment policies as tools of economic growth and social equity. Effective information and guidance systems are essential to support the implementation of these policies, and all citizens need to develop the skills to self-manage their careers. Yet there are large gaps between these policy goals and the capacity of national career guidance systems. Based upon a review conducted in 14 OECD countries, this publication explores how these gaps might be narrowed. It advocates improved national co-ordination arrangements and greater attention to research and data collection to inform policy makers. It also promotes the development of improved and more specialised training programmes for practitioners and the creation of more specialised career guidance organisations for the delivery of services.

    Abstract: Die OECD-Grundsätze der Corporate Governance wurden 1999 vom Rat der OECD auf Ministerebene gebilligt und sind seitdem zu einer internationalen Richtschnur für politische Entscheidungsträger, Investoren, Unternehmen und sonstige interessierte Gruppen in aller Welt geworden. Sie haben die Corporate-Goverance-Agenda vorangebracht und liefern präzise Orientierungshilfen für Gesetzes- und Regulierungsinitiativen in OECD-Mitglieds- wie auch Nichtmitgliedsländern. Das Forum für Finanzmarktstabilität hat die Grundsätze in den Katalog der zwölf Kernstandards für solide Finanzsysteme aufgenommen. Die Grundsätze bilden ferner die Ausgangsbasis eines umfassenden Programms der Zusammenarbeit zwischen OECD- und Nicht-OECD-Ländern und dienen als Grundlage für das Corporate-Governance-Modul der Weltbank/IWF-Berichte über die Einhaltung von Standards und Kodizes (Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes ROSC).

    Abstract: Cette publication dresse un panorama des pratiques des pays de l’OCDE relatives au recrutement de main-d’œuvre étrangère. Elle analyse les obstacles qui peuvent entraver la négociation d’accords de recrutement de main-d’œuvre. Elle présente également les perspectives liées à une éventuelle coopération en matière de migration de main d’œuvre ou de développement dans les pays d’origine. Ce rapport passe tout d’abord en revue les accords bilatéraux et les autres formes de recrutement de main-d'œuvre étrangère dans plusieurs pays de l'OCDE (Allemagne, États-Unis, France, Irlande, Italie, Pologne, République tchèque, Royaume-Uni et Suisse) ainsi qu'aux Philippines et en Roumanie. Il décrit la gestion et la mise en œuvre de ces pratiques, analyse leur impact sur les marchés du travail, le développement économique et les politiques migratoires des pays d'accueil et des pays d'origine. La publication examine aussi les perspectives de développement de ce type de migration. L'annexe contient une liste des principaux accords signés par les pays de l'OCDE, par type de recrutement.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage, publié conjointement par l’OCDE et la Commission européenne, donne aux décideurs publics des outils pratiques pour s’attaquer aux insuffisances de nombreux systèmes nationaux d’orientation professionnelle. Ces services sont notamment d’un accès limité, surtout pour les adultes, ils n’apprennent pas aux intéressés à gérer leur parcours professionnel, la formation y est inappropriée et la coordination des services médiocre. Dans un langage simple, qui n’a rien de technique, cette publication traite de multiples questions qui sont fondamentales du point de vue de l’efficacité des services d’orientation professionnelle, par exemple : comment élargir l’accès à l’orientation professionnelle ? Comment améliorer la qualité de l’information sur les métiers et les professions ? Comment s’assurer que les qualifications du personnel correspondent aux objectifs de l’action gouvernementale ? Enfin, comment améliorer le pilotage stratégique dans ce domaine ?

    Series Statement: Vieillissement et politiques de l'emploi/Ageing and Employment Policies
    Series Statement: Vieillissement et politiques de l'emploi
    Keywords: Employment ; Finance and Investment ; Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Luxembourg
    Abstract: Pour faire face au vieillissement rapide de la population, il est nécessaire de promouvoir de meilleures opportunités d'emploi pour les travailleurs âgés. On a déjà beaucoup fait état du besoin de réformer les régimes de pension de retraite et de préretraite. Pourtant, cela ne sera sans doute pas suffisant en soi pour relever significativement les taux d'emploi des plus âgés ni pour réduire le risque futur de pénurie de travailleurs. Les autorités publiques et les entreprises doivent sans tarder prendre des mesures pour adapter la fixation des salaires à une main-d'œuvre plus âgée, pour s'attaquer aux discriminations du fait de l'âge et pour améliorer les qualifications et les conditions de travail des travailleurs âgés. En outre, les travailleurs âgés devront changer d’attitude quant à la poursuite de leur activité et à l'acquisition de nouvelles compétences. On sait relativement peu de choses sur ce que les différents pays de l'OCDE sont en train de faire ou devraient faire dans ces domaines. Afin d'y remédier, l'OCDE a lancé une série de rapports dans une vingtaine de pays. Le rapport sur le Luxembourg est le cinquième de cette série, après ceux consacrés à la Suède, à la Belgique, à la Suisse et à l'Espagne. Chaque rapport national fait le tour des principales barrières qui restreignent l'emploi des travailleurs âgés et évalue la pertinence et l'efficacité des mesures existantes pour contrer ces barrières. Enfin, chaque ouvrage présente une série de recommandations sur les politiques que les autorités publiques et les partenaires sociaux devraient mener. Ce rapport, basé sur les actes d'un séminaire, est publié uniquement en français. Cependant, on trouvera dans ce volume la version anglaise du résumé et des principales recommandations.

    Abstract: DIE ROLLE VON HUMAN- UND SOZIALKAPITAL In unserer heutigen, sich rasch wandelnden Welt dürfte der Erfolg von Nationen, Individuen, gesellschaftlichen Gruppen und Gemeinwesen wohl mehr denn je von deren Fähigkeit abhängen, sich dem Wandel anzupassen, Wissen zu erwerben und auszutauschen. Der vorliegende Bericht trägt zur Klärung der Konzepte Human- und Sozialkapital bei und evaluiert deren Einfluss auf Wirtschaftswachstum und Wohlergehen. Der Begriff des Sozialkapitals, der erst seit kurzem in der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaft existiert, ist bislang noch relativ wenig belegt. Der Bericht stützt sich daher auf eine Reihe empirischer Untersuchungen, die auf potentiell signifikante Beziehungen zwischen Human- und Sozialkapital hindeuten. Den verfügbaren Erkenntnissen zufolge können Human- und Sozialkapital einen entscheidenden Beitrag zu einer ganzen Reihe positiver Ergebnisse leisten, die von höheren Einkommen über stärkeren sozialen Zusammenhalt bis hin zu größerer Lebenszufriedenheit reichen. Auch wenn es keine Belege für systematische „Unterinvestitionen" weder in Human- oder Sozialkapital gibt, werden doch gewisse Bedenken hinsichtlich Verteilung und Qualität beider Kapitalformen geäußert und die Frage untersucht, wie sich diese Aspekte auf das Wohlergehen künftiger Generationen auswirken könnten. Kurzfristig verfügt die staatliche Politik nur über begrenzten Spielraum zur Beeinflussung von Qualität, Niveau und Verteilung des Human- und Sozialkapitals. Langfristig gibt es aber eine Reihe von Bereichen, in denen staatliche, private und ehrenamtliche Akteure zur Verbesserung des Human- und Sozialkapitals beitragen können.

    Abstract: Since they were issued in 1999, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance have gained worldwide recognition as an international benchmark for good corporate governance. They are actively used by governments, regulators, investors, corporations and stakeholders in both OECD and non-OECD countries and have been adopted by the Financial Stability Forum as one of the Twelve Key Standards for Sound Financial Systems. This revised version takes into account developments since 1999 and includes several important amendments.

    Abstract: Les scandales et faillites qui ont ébranlé le monde des entreprises, conjugués à des préoccupations économiques plus larges, ont incité les pays de l'OCDE à accorder une attention plus soutenue au gouvernement d’entreprise, désormais reconnu comme un élément fondamental de la croissance économique et de la stabilité financière. Cette étude se penche sur les problèmes systémiques et examine les réponses que les pays de l'OCDE y ont apportées. Elle présente une large palette d’expériences dont d’autres pays pourraient s’inspirer lorsqu’ils envisageront les différentes options s’ouvrant à eux en matière d’action publique.

    Abstract: A ce jour, peu de gouvernements se sont attachés à faciliter le flux indispensable des marchandises en ville et à réduire les effets nuisibles du transport urbain de marchandises sur la collectivité desservie. Ceci a accru les problèmes liés aux livraisons de marchandises, et notamment la concurrence entre transport de marchandises et transport de passagers pour l’accès à l’infrastructure routière et aux places de stationnement/livraison. Ce rapport fournit des recommandations pour faire face à ces défis.

    Abstract: Ce rapport aborde une question qui se pose dans pratiquement tous les secteurs de services aux collectivités, à savoir la réglementation de l’accès à des installations essentielles. Les régulateurs des industries d’équipements collectifs publics se heurtent à un problème crucial : la réglementation des termes et conditions dans lesquels des entreprises en concurrence ont accès à des intrants clés fournis par des concurrents. Le développement de la concurrence et le succès de la libéralisation dépendent souvent des termes de l’accès et des conditions choisies, aussi les pouvoirs publics sont-ils soucieux de faire le bon choix. Préparé par le comité de la concurrence de l’OCDE, ce rapport traite du secteur des télécommunications et cherche à approfondir la compréhension de la réglementation de l’accès. Les problèmes d’accès ne sont pas des plus faciles pour les autorités de tutelle et les responsables de la politique de la concurrence : ils peuvent en effet être techniquement délicats et donner lieu à des polémiques retentissantes sur le plan pratique. En abordant la question sous ces deux angles, ce rapport cherche à aider les autorités de tutelle et les pouvoirs publics à tirer les leçons de l’expérience de l’OCDE pour obtenir des résultats efficients et compétitifs.

    Abstract: En los países miembros de la OCDE resulta sorprendente el espectro, número y crecimiento de los programas de apoyo para la iniciativa empresarial y la microempresa. Buena parte del interés de política por fomentar la iniciativa empresarial se refleja en la convicción de que la creación de nuevas empresas contribuirá a facilitar el logro de importantes objetivos económicos y sociales. El aumento en el ritmo de creación de empresas es hoy una inquietud casi universal para las autoridades locales, al igual que para los gobiernos centrales que desean combatir la marginación económica local. Sin embargo, a pesar del amplio interés de política, pocos estudios han analizado sistemáticamente la relación entre la creación de nuevas empresas y el desarrollo económico local. Esta publicación analiza las principales rutas a través de las cuales la creación de empresas y su desarrollo puede tener un impacto sobre las economías locales. Así, se analiza la evidencia empírica acerca de la relación entre la iniciativa empresarial y las economías locales. Asimismo, se demuestra que aunque la creación de empresas puede resultar un componente crucial para el desarrollo económico local, el fomento de la iniciativa empresarial no constituye una panacea para el desarrollo. Por ello, se discuten a profundidad una serie de limitaciones potenciales de las estrategias orientadas hacia la iniciativa empresarial y cómo estas limitaciones pueden contrarrestarse. Este libro presenta detalladas recomendaciones de política tanto en el ámbito gubernamental local como nacional. Las recomendaciones se relacionan con tres ámbitos temáticos: estrategia, financiamiento y diseño de programas. Se espera que estos lineamientos sean de utilidad para los gobiernos centrales y locales en el diseño y la puesta en marcha de programas y estrategias eficaces en términos de costos. En este sentido, la presente publicación describe los tipos de investigación que deben llevarse a cabo para lograr un mejor entendimiento de los temas clave de política.

    Abstract: Die OECD-Länder messen dem lebenslangen Lernen und der aktiven Beschäftigungspolitik als Instrumente zur Förderung von Wirtschaftswachstum und sozialer Gerechtigkeit zunehmende Bedeutung bei. Effektive Informations- und Beratungssysteme sind wesentliche Grundlagen für die Umsetzung dieser Maßnahmen, und alle Bürger müssen sich die notwendigen Kompetenzen aneignen, um ihre eigene berufliche Laufbahn steuern zu können. Zwischen diesen Politikzielen und den Kapazitäten der nationalen Bildungs- und Berufsberatungssysteme besteht aber noch eine große Kluft. So ist der Zugang zu Bildungs- und Berufsberatungsdiensten, vor allem für Erwachsene, begrenzt. Statt ihren Kunden die Fähigkeit zu vermitteln, ihre berufliche Entwicklung selbst in die Hand zu nehmen, konzentrieren sich die Beratungsstellen zu oft auf gerade anstehende Fragen und Entscheidungen. Ferner sind die Ausbildungs- und Qualifikationssysteme für die Anbieter der Beratungsdienste häufig unzureichend und unangemessen. Die Koordinierung zwischen den wichtigsten Ministerien und den übrigen Beteiligten lässt viel zu wünschen übrig. Die politischen Entscheidungsträger verfügen nicht über hinreichende Daten- und Erfahrungsgrundlagen, um die Bildungs- und Berufsberatungsdienste sachgerecht steuern zu können, wobei es an Daten sowohl zu Kosten und Nutzen als auch zu Kundenmerkmalen und Ergebnissen mangelt. Und was das konkrete Angebot an Beratungsdiensten betrifft, so wird zu wenig Gebrauch gemacht von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) und anderen kosteneffektiven Mitteln, um flexibler auf die Kundenbedürfnisse eingehen zu können. Ausgehend von einer in 14 OECD-Ländern durchgeführten Prüfung wird in dieser Veröffentlichung untersucht, wie die Kluft zwischen Bildungs- und Berufsberatungsdiensten einerseits und öffentlicher Politik andererseits verringert werden könnte. Es wird dafür plädiert, die Koordinierung auf nationaler Ebene zu verbessern und sich verstärkt um Forschung und Datenerfassung zu bemühen, um die politischen Entscheidungsträger mit hinreichenden Informationen versorgen zu können. In dem Bericht werden ferner bessere, fachspezifischere Ausbildungsprogramme für die Praktiker der Bildungs- und Berufsberatung sowie die Einrichtung stärker spezialisierter Einrichtungen für Bildungs- und Berufsberatungsdienste empfohlen.

Ils ont été adoptés par le Forum pour la Stabilité Financière comme l'une des douze normes fondamentales de la solidité des systèmes financiers. Cette version révisée prend en compte les évolutions intervenues depuis 1999 et inclut plusieurs modifications importantes.

    Abstract: New forms of governance are emerging. Government, business and civil society are increasingly seeking ways to develop and pursue economic development strategies and solve socio-economic problems jointly. Regional strategic platforms, partnerships, open governments and other agents of change help release the potential of their area thanks to better co-ordination, and adaptation of public policies to local conditions. This book examines how the new forms of governance overcome administrative, political and financial obstacles and impact local prosperity and the quality of life. These new approaches are illustrated with the results of some of the ambitious initiatives taken by Belgium, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

This survey examines the systemic issues at the forefront of the corporate governance debate and discusses how OECD countries have responded. It offers a rich variety of experiences that other countries may wish to draw on when considering their policy options.

    Abstract: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a policy approach in which the responsibility of the waste from a consumer good is extended back up to the producer of the good, is developing and expanding in OECD countries. Governments find that these schemes can provide a new and flexible approach to reduce the upward trend of waste from consumer products. To address these issues, OECD organised a workshop in December 2002, which was hosted by the Japanese Ministry of Environment, in Tokyo. This book contains selected papers presented at this workshop.

    Keywords: Governance ; Science and Technology ; Industry and Services ; Electronic books
    Abstract: This report addresses an issue which arises in virtually every public utility industry – the regulation of access to essential facilities. The regulation of the terms and conditions under which competing firms have access to essential inputs provided by rivals has become the single biggest issue facing regulators of public utility industries. Development of competition and the success of liberalisation often depend on the access terms and conditions chosen, and public policy interest in getting these terms and conditions right is important. Prepared by the OECD’s Competition Committee, this report focuses on the telecommunications industry and seeks to deepen the understanding of access regulation. Access issues are not easy issues for regulators and competition policy-makers - they can be both difficult technically and the source of noisy disputes in practice. By bringing together theory and practice, this report seeks to help regulators and policy-makers learn from OECD experience to achieve efficient and competitive outcomes.

    Series Statement: Vieillissement et politiques de l'emploi
    Keywords: Employment ; Finance and Investment ; Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Switzerland
    Abstract: Pour faire face au vieilllissement rapide de la population, il est nécessaire de promouvoir de meilleures opportunités d'emploi pour les travailleurs âgés. On a déjà beaucoup fait état du besoin de réformer les régimes de pension de retraite et de préretraite. Pourtant, cela ne sera sans doute pas suffisant en soi pour relever significativement les taux d'emploi des plus âgés ni pour réduire le risque futur de pénurie de travailleurs. Les autorités publiques et les entreprises doivent sans tarder prendre des mesures pour adapter la fixation des salaires à une main-d'œuvre plus âgée, pour s'attaquer aux discriminations du fait de l'âge et pour améliorer les qualifications et les conditions de travail des travailleurs âgés. Un changement d'attitude s'impose aussi de la part des travailleurs âgés quant au travail à un âge plus tardif et à l'acquisition de nouvelles compétences. On sait relativement peu de choses sur ce que les différents pays de l'OCDE sont en train de faire ou devraient faire dans ces domaines. Afin d'y remédier, l'OCDE a lancé une série de rapports dans une vingtaine de pays. Le rapport sur la Suisse est le troisième de cette série. Chaque rapport national fait le tour des principales barrières qui existent concernant l'emploi des travailleurs âgés, évalue la pertinence et l'efficacité des mesures existantes pour contrer ces barrières et présente une série de recommandations sur les politiques que les autorités publiques et les partenaires sociaux devraient mener.

    Abstract: Relatively little has been done by governments to facilitate the essential flows of goods in urban areas and to reduce the adverse impacts of urban goods transport on the communities served. This has resulted in increasing problems associated with goods delivery including competition with passenger transport for access to road infrastructure and space for parking/delivery facilities. How should OECD countries deal with the challenges they face in this area? This report analyses measures taken in many cities and provides recommendations for dealing with these challenges.

    Abstract: With rapidly aging populations, old-age pension reform and early-retirement schemes alone may not suffice to provide adequate employment opportunities. Additional measures will clearly be needed on wage scales, job discrimination, skills acquisition, and working conditions. Attitudes will also have to change about working later in life. Little is known, however, about what countries have been or should be doing on those issues. This report on Sweden begins a series of around 20 OECD country reports intended to fill the gap. Each contains a survey of the main employment barriers confronting older people, an assessment of existing remedial measures, and policy recommendations for further action.

    Abstract: Corporate governance matters for national development. Studies of Brazil, Chile, India, and South Africa show that corporate governance has an important role to play in helping both to increase financial capital to firms in developing countries and to enhance those countries’ financial development as a whole. They further show that corporate governance matters can contribute greatly to achieving sustained productivity growth in developing countries’ real economies. The value of improved corporate governance for development cannot, however, be considered in isolation. In the financial sector, attention must also be given to measures to strengthen the banking sector and a country’s financial institutions as a whole. To gain most from improved corporate governance in the real economy, close attention must also be given to competition policy and to reforms of sector-specific regulatory practices. The book is for civil society, NGOs and research institutes.

    Series Statement: Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED)
    Keywords: Employment ; Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development
    Abstract: Decentralising labour market policy is a delicate and challenging subject of political debate. Does decentralisation really enable co-ordination of policies? At the local level, how do we make the best use of decentralised powers? How can greater flexibility be provided in managing policies while still guaranteeing efficiency and accountability? To enhance responsiveness to citizens’ needs, governments increasingly decentralise the way policies are designed and implemented. In the labour market policy area, many stakeholders, from business and local government to community groups and NGOs have been receptive. The OECD invited leading experts and experienced policy makers and practitioners to address these questions and share their experiences in dealing with such issues. This report, supported by statistical data, summarises the lessons learnt from their experiences. It is for researchers, leading experts, business communities, economists in government circles and NGOs.

This important book seeks to answer fundamental questions about the phenomenon’s economic causes, the working conditions children endure, and implications of their labour for the economic outlook of the countries concerned. It moreover examines the effectiveness of various policies implemented to combat child labour and the beneficial effects such policies can have on economic development.

    Abstract: Élever ses enfants et avoir une carrière professionnelle sont deux objectifs très importants dans la vie de la plupart des gens. Il est donc fondamental pour nos sociétés d’aider les parents à réaliser ces deux objectifs. En effet, l’attention des parents joue un rôle déterminant dans le développement des enfants et l’emploi des parents contribue à la prospérité économique d’un pays. Le déclin du nombre des enfants aura bien évidemment aussi des conséquences sur la constitution et la forme de nos sociétés futures. Ce volume présente un certain nombre de réformes politiques notamment des systèmes de fiscalité/prestations, les politiques de gestion des systèmes de garde des enfants, ainsi que les politiques de l’emploi et les pratiques des entreprises au regard de l’emploi parental qui pourraient être mises en place pour réconcilier travail et famille en Autriche, en Irlande et au Japon.

    Abstract: Cross-border trade and the Internet bring substantial benefits to businesses and consumers alike, but also pose new challenges to the collective ability of governments to protect consumers from fraudulent and deceptive commercial practices. Such practices undermine the integrity of markets to the detriment of all businesses and consumers. These Guidelines establish a common framework to enable OECD member countries to better combat fraudulent and deceptive cross-border commercial practices through closer, faster, and more efficient co-operation among their consumer protection agencies.

Il ressort principalement de cette étude qu'il est possible de libéraliser davantage les échanges de poissons et de produits de la mer.

    Keywords: Employment ; Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Behindertenpolitik ; Internationaler Vergleich
    Abstract: Cet ouvrage présente une analyse d'un large éventail de programmes du marché du travail et de protection sociale destinés aux personnes handicapées. En explorant la relation entre les politiques et leurs résultats pour vingt pays de l'OCDE, il permet au lecteur de mieux appréhender d’une part les problèmes que pose la politique de l'invalidité et d’autre part les éléments ou combinaisons d'éléments qui font qu’une politique est efficace. Enfin, le rapport conclut qu'une approche nouvelle et prometteuse de la politique de l'invalidité consisterait à s’inspirer davantage de la logique appliquée pour les régimes de chômage, c'est-à-dire : - mettre l'accent sur l'activation ; - promouvoir une intervention précoce individualisée ; - éliminer les contre-incitations au travail ; - instaurer une culture d'obligations mutuelles ; et impliquer les employeurs. Le rapport constate d'ailleurs que les politiques de nombreux pays comportent déjà certains des éléments importants de cette nouvelle approche.

    Abstract: La persistance du travail des enfants suscite un émoi considérable dans l’opinion publique. Malgré l’accroissement du nombre de ratifications de conventions internationales sur l’abolition du travail des enfants, 23 % des enfants âgés de 10 à 14 ans dans le monde continuent à travailler. Mais pourquoi les enfants doivent-ils encore travailler ? Et dans quelles conditions ? Quelles sont les implications du travail des enfants sur le développement à venir des pays concernés ? Quelles sont les meilleures politiques pour combattre le travail des enfants et comment peuvent-elles favoriser le développement économique ? Cet ouvrage essaye de répondre à ces questions. Après avoir mis en évidence la réalité du travail des enfants dans le monde, cette étude analyse les causes économiques de ce problème et l’efficacité des différents dispositifs et mesures mis en œuvre pour le combattre.

    Abstract: Few studies have systematically examined the relationship between the creation of new firms and local economic development -- yet it is a universal concern for central and local governments wishing to combat localised economic distress. This book examines the principal routes through which enterprise creation can have a positive impact on local economies. Recommendations cover three thematic areas: strategy, finance and programme design. The book is for investment agencies, entrepreneurs seeking to invest locally and economists in the corporate sector. "Overall, this is an excellent overview of the key issues concerning entrepreneurship and local economic development. While primarily aimed at the pragmatic policymakers, who will find it extremely valuable, it also has the rigor and breadth to interest researchers and students."

    Abstract: A probing report on the harm caused by hard-core cartels, on progress made in combating them, and on the challenges that lie ahead. Since adoption of its 1998 recommendation on effective action against hard-core cartels, the OECD has been leading an international effort to restrict their activities. This report reviews progress in combating hard-core cartels notably through strengthened sanctions against companies and individuals. It also quantifies the harm cartels cause and identifies improved methods of investigation. Despite recent progress in several jurisdictions, much remains to be done and this report outlines and identifies the challenges that lie ahead.

This report analyses proven approaches commonly adopted by governments to reduce and streamline administrative procedures like one-stop shops (physical and electronic), simplification of permits and licence procedures, time limits for decision-making, methods to measure administrative burdens, regulatory-compliance assistance for small and medium-size companies, and increasing reliance on IT-based solutions.

    Abstract: What are the major barriers to services trade? To what extent would further liberalisation of trade in services result in increased welfare gains and economic growth? Empirical evidence is also important to demonstrate the economic effects of market and regulatory changes as an aid to the design of adequate regulatory reform. Amongst other issues, the papers in this volume explore fundamental issues for empirical research on trade in services. It highlights the specific data requirements and conceptual challenges for modelling liberalisation of services.

Contributors call for orderly and rapid progress towards regional integration of the services sector, based on the gradual removal of the barriers to competition. The benefits will be increased FDI flows and domestic investment, with a subsequent contribution to growth and poverty reduction. This book is based upon the 2002 International Forum on Asian Perspectives organised by the ADB and the OECD Development Centre.

    Abstract: Raising children and having a career both rate highly as important life goals for many people. Helping parents to achieve these goals is vital for society: parental care plays a crucial role in child development and parental employment promotes economic prosperity. A failure to assist parents find their preferred work and family balance has implications for both labour supply and family decisions. This study considers how a wide range of policies, including tax/benefit policies, childcare policies, and employment and workplace practices, help determine parental labour market outcomes and family formation in Austria, Ireland and Japan.

    Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the forces fostering closer economic interdependence among countries. The rapid increase in FDI flows has generated considerable debate about its environmental and social implications in host countries. While much of the debate on these issues has been general in nature, this volume deepens the analysis by examining the FDI-environment relationship in a specific sector and identifies emerging best practices. Empirical evidence from the mining sector is presented, and the key elements of the policy and institutional frameworks that guide investors’ environmental behaviour are discussed. In addition, the emerging role of voluntary commitments by enterprises to safeguard the environment is examined.

    Abstract: Les Principes directeurs sont des recommandations à l’intention des entreprises multinationales sur la conduite de leurs activités dans des domaines comme le travail, l’environnement, la protection des consommateurs et la lutte contre la corruption. Ces recommandations émanent des 33 gouvernements qui ont souscrit aux Principes directeurs et se sont ainsi engagés à les faire respecter, même si elles n’ont pas un caractère contraignant. Ce rapport rend compte des mesures prises par les gouvernements pour renforcer la contribution des Principes directeurs à un meilleur fonctionnement de l’économie mondiale. Il présente aussi une analyse comparative et des observations émanant des milieux d’affaires, des organisations syndicales et de la société civile au sujet des complémentarités et des différences entre les Principes directeurs et d’autres instruments mondiaux destinés à promouvoir une attitude responsable de la part des entreprises (ex. : Pacte mondial des Nations Unies, Projet de rapport mondial).

    Abstract: Hard-core cartels are the most egregious violations of competition law. What are the most appropriate tools to fight them? In this book, the OECD identifies an increasingly successful "carrot-and-stick" approach – applying stiffer punishment for cartel operators and enhancing programmes aimed at rewarding cartel members who decide to defect and co-operate with the authorities. This book contributes to the existing knowledge about the extent of cartels' overcharges and other harm to businesses and consumers worldwide, and sheds light on new and effective "leniency programmes", as well as on optimal sanctions in cartel cases.

    Keywords: Employment ; Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Australia ; Denmark ; Netherlands ; Berufstätigkeit ; Kind ; Erziehung ; Familienleben ; Internationaler Vergleich
    Abstract: Concilier travail et vie de famille est une ambition qui se décline, tant pour les individus que pour la société, en deux objectifs principaux : permettre à chacun de travailler afin de percevoir un revenu en participant à l’activité sociale la plus importante de la vie moderne, et de s’occuper le mieux possible de l’éducation de ses propres enfants. La première étude de l’OCDE consacrée à la façon de concilier travail et vie de famille analyse les défis que les parents de jeunes enfants doivent relever lorsqu’ils tentent de concilier leur occupation professionnelle et leurs obligations familiales, ainsi que les conséquences qui en découlent sur le plan social et sur le plan des évolutions observées sur le marché du travail. Elle examine la palette des politiques menées actuellement en faveur de la famille en Australie, au Danemark et aux Pays-Bas et analyse comment les diverses mesures mises en place dans ces trois pays influent sur les tendances du marché du travail, ainsi que sur d’autres données sociétales.

    Abstract: Promouvoir efficacement l’innovation exige des politiques publiques novatrices. L’innovation par la création, la diffusion and l’application du savoir est devenue l’un des principaux moteurs de la croissance économique et un élément clé de la réponse à beaucoup de nouveaux besoins sociaux. Toutefois, les déterminants de la capacité d’innover ont changé dans une économie mondialisée fondée sur le savoir. Les politiques gouvernementales visant à stimuler l’innovation doivent être adaptées en conséquence, guidées par un cadre conceptuel adéquat. S’appuyant sur les résultats d’un projet pluriannuel sur les systèmes nationaux d’innovation (SNI), cette publication montre comment le concept de SNI éclaire la réforme nécessaire des politiques de la technologie et de l’innovation.

Cette publication contribue à améliorer l'état des connaissances quant aux surcoûts qu'engendrent les ententes et aux autres dommages causés aux entreprises ainsi qu'aux consommateurs du monde entier. Elle fournit un éclairage utile sur les nouveaux programmes de clémence ainsi que sur l'usage optimal des sanctions dans les affaires d'ententes.

    Keywords: Industry and Services
    Abstract: Governments are significant purchasers of goods and services and these markets represent huge opportunities for international trade. This document presents a synthesis of the analytical studies on the quantification of the size of government procurement markets and proposes a series of estimates of procurement markets for over 130 individual countries. The world total government procurement is estimated to amount to $5550 billion in 1998, which is equivalent to 82.3% of the world merchandise and commercial services exports in 1998. The world value of government procurement that is potentially opened up to international trade is estimated at $2083 billion, which is equivalent to 7.1% of the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or 30.1% of the world merchandise and commercial services exports. Detailed estimates of government procurement markets are proposed for OECD countries, including estimates of procurement broken down by government levels, types of expenditure (consumption versus investment) and contestable shares. Informed knowledge about the size of government procurement markets and in particular the shares of national markets that are potentially opened up to intenational competition is relevant for the business community, government and trade negotiators.

    Abstract: This publication presents detailed data on the role played by multinationals in the OECD economies. This year’s edition also includes data on the activity of affiliates of national firms abroad (outward investment). Volume I provides data for the manufacturing sector covering 18 variables including production, employment, investment, research and trade. Part I presents the main findings and highlights trends for each of the variables displayed by foreign multinationals and domestic firms in total manufacturing industry, leading sectors as well as a detailed geographical breakdown. Part II provides basic data and shows the share of each sector controlled by foreign multinationals for the available industrial variables. Data sources and definitions are also provided. Published for the first time, Volume II presents data for services. Five variables are covered: employment, turnover, value added, exports and imports. These data provide a measure of the impact of foreign direct investment on the economies of the OECD countries. From this standpoint, they provide a vital backup for data on direct investment flows.

    Abstract: Les administrations publiques sont de gros acheteurs de biens et de services et ces marchés représentent un potentiel énorme pour le commerce international. Ce rapport présente une synthèse des études analytiques visant à mesurer la taille des marchés publics et propose divers indicateurs de la taille des marchés publics pour plus de 130 pays. On estime à $5550 milliards le montant mondial des marchés publics totaux, ce qui équivaut approximativement à 82,3% des exportations mondiales de marchandises et de services commerciaux de 1998. On estime la valeur mondiale des marchés publics qui peut potentiellement donner lieu à des échanges internationaux à $2083 milliards, ce qui équivaut à 7,1% du produit intérieur brute (PIB) mondial ou à 30,1% des exportations mondiales de marchandises et de services commerciaux. Des indicateurs détaillés de la taille des marchés publics sont proposés pour les pays de la zone OCDE , et notamment des ratios par niveau d'administration, par catégorie de dépenses (consommation ou investissement) et des indicateurs des parts des marchés publics qui peuvent donner lieu à des échanges internationaux. Une bonne connaissance de la taille des marchés publics et, en particulier, des parts des marchés nationaux qui sont potentiellement ouvertes à la concurrence internationale est en effet utile pour les milieux d'affaires, les pouvoirs publics et les négociateurs commerciaux.

    Abstract: La mondialisation et les progrès des technologies de l’information et des communications ont refaçonné les caractéristiques du commerce mondial. Aujourd’hui, les entreprises compétitives au niveau international gèrent leurs activités par le biais de réseaux globaux intégrés conçus pour répondre avec efficacité et sérieux aux demandes du marché d’où qu’elles viennent. Cette tendance a donné le jour aux termes « logistique globale » ou « gestion de la chaîne d’approvisionnement ». En outre, les préoccupations environnementales croissantes exigent une logistique qui soit non seulement efficace mais également favorable au développement durable. Comment les gouvernements perçoivent-ils l’état actuel des systèmes logistiques ? Existe-t-il une vision partagée des réseaux logistiques mondiaux à développer sur laquelle les gouvernements pourraient fonder leurs réflexions ? Quelles sont les contraintes pour parvenir à des réseaux logistiques efficaces et respectueux de l’environnement ? Le projet TRILOG de l’OCDE vise à fournir une perspective sur ces questions clés grâce à l’échange d’approches et d’expériences relatives à la logistique du transport de marchandises en Asie-Pacifique, en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Ce rapport cherche à identifier les contraintes et à analyser les problèmes communs aux trois régions. Il propose des solutions et des approches susceptibles de faciliter le développement de politiques visant à promouvoir une logistique efficace et durable au niveau international.

    Keywords: Employment ; Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Regionalpolitik ; Arbeitsmarktpolitik
    Abstract: Dans toutes les études et évaluations du développement territorial menées aux niveaux infra-nationaux, le choix de l’unité territoriale est de première importance. La disponibilité de l’information conduit les organismes internationaux, les chercheurs ainsi que les responsables politiques à prendre le plus souvent en compte, dans leurs travaux, les découpages administratifs des pays. Pourtant, malgré leur existence officielle et leur stabilité, ces découpages présentent certaines limites et imperfections pour la comparabilité internationale. A la demande du Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE, le Service du Développement Territorial a entrepris un travail expérimental sur les régions fonctionnelles. Ces régions correspondent à des bassins d’emploi et semblent ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles pour les analyses territoriales internationales. Délimitées selon un principe similaire, celui des conditions de navettage, ces régions présentent une relative adéquation entre la demande et l’offre de main d'oeuvre et peuvent, de ce fait, être assimilées à des espaces de la vie quotidienne. Cette publication fait le point des définitions et des usages des régions fonctionnelles dans les pays de l’OCDE. Elle explicite les raisons qui poussent les pays à mettre en place ce genre d’entités, elle recense les responsabilités et les prérogatives de ces échelons, elle comptabilise enfin leurs ressources financières. Cette publication est une évaluation de la pertinence d’utiliser ces régions comme unités territoriales d’analyse dans les pays de l’OCDE et comme cadre d’intervention de certaines politiques territoriales.

    Abstract: Reconciling work and family life involves two key goals for both individuals and society: being able to work, to earn an income while participating in the most important social activity of modern life, and providing the best care and nurturing for one’s own children. This first OECD review of the reconciliation of work and family life looks at the challenges parents of young children confront when trying to square their work and care commitments, and the implications for social and labour market trends. It considers the current mix of family-friendly policies in Australia, Denmark, and the Netherlands and explores how this policy balance contributes to different labour market and other societal outcomes in these three countries.

    Abstract: Stronger interactions between science and industry underpin growth in a knowledge economy. A comparison of the intensity and quality of industry-science relationships (ISR) in OECD countries shows that many countries are lagging behind in mobilising science for innovation. The report benchmarks OECD countries’ ISR, identifies relevant good practices in managing the interface between public research and the business sector, and provides a framework for monitoring and assessing evolving policies in the area. The report presents an in-depth comparative study of ISR in France and the United Kingdom and a special chapter on Japan.

    Abstract: Globalisation and advances in information and communication technologies are reshaping the world’s trading patterns. Today’s internationally competitive businesses work through strategic, integrated global networks designed to deliver efficient and high-quality response to demands from anywhere in the world. This trend has given rise to the terms "global logistics" or "supply-chain management". In addition, growing environmental concerns require that logistics should not only be efficient; they should also contribute to sustainable development. The OECD TRILOG project aimed to provide insights into these key issues through an exchange of experiences relating to freight transport logistics in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North American regions. This report attempts to identify constraints and address issues common to the three regions, and suggest possible solutions and approaches that could facilitate the development of policies to promote efficient and sustainable international logistics.

    Abstract: Tradeable or transferable permits (TPs) are increasingly perceived as a cost-effective and flexible policy instrument for pollution control and natural resources management. Initially they were considered a policy tool whose applications were limited to only certain sectors, such as air pollution management and fisheries. However, over the last few years, there have been significant developments in the use of domestic TPs, across a broader range of environmental issues. TPs now face a double challenge: could they become a key instrument for curbing greenhouse gas emissions in light of the Kyoto Protocol? And could they be used in other areas of environmental management? This book presents the proceedings of an OECD workshop on domestic TPs held in September 2001 in Paris. It provides an analysis on recent developments in the use of domestic TP in new areas including climate change, renewable energy, transport, solid waste management, and water resources management. It highlights issues regarding the use of TPs in policy mixes, reviews key elements of ex post evaluations of earlier TP schemes, identifies key challenges in the design and use of TP systems, and attempts to link the past lessons to further research needs.

    Abstract: Promoting innovation requires innovative government policy. Innovation through the creation, diffusion and use of knowledge has become a key driver of economic growth and provides part of the response to many new societal challenges. However, the determinants of innovation performance have changed in a globalising, knowledge-based economy. Government policy to boost innovation performance must be adapted accordingly, based on a sound conceptual framework. Synthesising the results of a multi-year OECD project on national innovation systems (NIS), this publication demonstrates how the NIS approach can be implemented in designing and implementing more efficient technology and innovation policies.

    Abstract: To better respond to a new set of concerns of the population and promote sustainable development, governments today actively seek a broad partnership with civil society and the private sector. Yet, it is at local and regional levels, closer to the problems and the individuals, that partnerships are most often formed. Partnerships are being established throughout OECD countries to tackle issues of economic development, employment, social cohesion and the quality of life. What all partnerships share is a common desire to improve governance -- how society collectively solves its problems and meets its needs. Through partnerships, civil society and its NGOs, enterprises and government at different levels work together to design area-based strategies, adapt policies to local conditions and take initiatives consistent with shared priorities. An ambitious mission, which raises the challenge of harmonising public accountability and participatory democracy. Local Partnerships for Better Governance presents the lessons learnt from the most recent experiences in seven countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy and the United States. This book proposes a strategy that governments can implement to improve governance through partnerships. Applying this strategy will enforce local capacities in a globalising economy, and contribute to reconcile economic competitiveness, social cohesion and environmental progress.
