בפרק זה של הפודקאסט "על המשמעות" עו"ד תמיר דורטל מארח את אור בן דורי, מנהלת תנועת ׳ישראל 2050׳, ודני רובין, מנהל יוזמת "פתק חצי פתוח" לשינוי שיטת הבחירות שמובילה התנועה, לשיחה מרתקת על הליקויים בשיטת הבחירות בישראל והצעת פתרון פורצת דרך.האם שיטת הבחירות הקיימת בישראל אכן משרתת את הציבור, או שהיא יוצרת תמריצים מעוותים שמרוקנים את הדמוקרטיה מתוכנה? בפרק עמוק ומרתק זה, תמיר דורטל צולל עם אור ודני אל עומק הבעיה. הם מציגים תמונה מדאיגה של ירידה באמון הציבור במערכת הפוליטית, ומדגימים כיצד שיטות הבחירה הנוכחיות – החל משיטת המנהיג במפלגות רבות, דרך פריימריז בהם משפיעים אחוזים בודדים של מתפקדים, ועד למועצות חכמים – מנתקות את נבחרי הציבור מהאינטרס הרחב של הבוחרים.דני ואור חושפים דוגמאות קונקרטיות מהכנסת שממחישות את התלות של חברי כנסת בראשי מפלגות ובקבוצות כוח ספציפיות, במקום בציבור הרחב. הם מציגים מחקר השוואתי מדאיג המגלה שישראל חריגה לרעה ביחס למדינות ה-OECD, בהיעדר יכולת של האזרח להשפיע על הרכב רשימות המועמדים.הפתרון שהם מציגים הוא הפתק החצי פתוח: שיטה וולונטרית, המקובלת בקונצנזוס רחב בקרב ארגוני חברה אזרחית מימין ומשמאל (פורום קהלת, המכון הישראלי לדמוקרטיה ועוד), המאפשרת למפלגות להישאר עם מבנה הרשימה הקיים, אך נותנת לבוחרים את הכוח לסמן מועמדים מועדפים בתוך המפלגה ובכך לקדם אותם ברשימה. מעבר לשיטת הבחירות, אור ודני סוקרים יוזמות נוספות של תנועת ישראל 2050 לחיזוק הדמוקרטיה, ביניהן רפורמות בביזור סמכויות בתחומי התחבורה והחינוך, ורגולציה הכרחית על רשתות חברתיות כדי לצמצם את הפילוג והקיטוב. בפרק זה תלמדו לא רק על הבעיות, אלא על הדרכים המעשיות בהן אזרחים וצעירים יכולים וצריכים לקחת חלק פעיל בעיצוב עתיד המדינה. האם אנחנו מוכנים לקחת אחריות על עתיד המדינה, או שנסתפק בקיטוב ובחוסר אמון? האזינו כדי לגלות איך גם אתם יכולים להיות חלק מהשינוי.ישראל 2050 מבית תנועה ישראלית

The tiny island of Bermuda in the North Atlantic is home to some of the largest insurance and reinsurance companies in the world. They pay for much of the Bermudan economy which has the fourth highest GDP per capita in the world on paper. Very large companies based in Bermuda had paid a cool 0% corporation tax until January this year when the new 15% rate was introduced in line with the OECD reforms. Ordinary companies still pay zero Corporation tax.David Burt is the Premier and Finance Minister of Bermuda and is visiting Ireland and attending the European Insurance forum.

이슈pick ▶ AI가 뽑아준 번호로 복권 2억 당첨?! 얼마 전, 미국에서 한 여성이 “AI가 알려준 번호로 복권을 샀다가 당첨됐다”는 사연이 전해지며 화제를 모았다. 그녀는 AI에게 “복권 번호를 추천해 줄 수 있냐”라고 물었고, AI가 제시한 번호 그대로 실제 복권을 구입한 끝에 약 15만 달러, 우리 돈으로 2억 원가량에 당첨된 것이다. 과연 AI가 확률을 계산해 복권 번호를 맞힌 걸까? 아니면 단순한 우연의 일치일까? AI의 복권 번호 추천, 믿어도 되는 걸까? 에서 짚어본다. ▶ 10대부터 40대까지, 한국의 사망원인 1위는 OO?! 지난 25일, 통계청에서 놀라운 발표가 나왔다. 40대의 사망원인 1위가 자살로 나타난 것! 이는 통계 작성이 시작된 1983년 이후 처음 있는 일로, 큰 충격을 주고 있다. 이로써 한국은 10대부터 40대, 청소년부터 사회의 중심 세대까지 모두 자살이 가장 많은 사망원인이라는 불명예를 안게 됐다. 지난해 자살 사망자 수와 자살률도 2011년 이후 13년 만에 최다·최고치를 기록했다. 경제적·사회적 압박이 극에 달한 ‘허리 세대'가 더는 버티기 어려워졌다는 신호인 걸까? 심지어 인천대교에서만 올해 9월, 한 달 동안 투신한 사람이 4명에 달한다. OECD 국가 중 자살률 1위라는 오명 속에서 우리는 지금 어디쯤 와 있는 걸까? 에서는 무심코 넘길 수 없는 이 숫자들 뒤에 숨겨진 이야기를 전한다. 날 ▶ 노숙인이 점령한 번화가 부산광역시의 번화가로 손꼽히는 서면. 언제나 사람들로 가득한 이곳이 노숙인들에게 점령당해 상인들과 시민들이 심각한 피해를 호소하고 있다. 상인들은 노숙인들이 밤낮없이 길에 앉아 음주를 할 뿐만 아니라, 밤새 술을 마신 유리병을 깨거나 배설물이 담긴 성인용 기저귀를 버리기도 하고 그 자리에 그대로 잠에 들어 다양한 종류의 피해로 이어지고 있다는 것. 게다가! 지나가는 사람에게 시비를 걸고 본인들끼리 싸움이 일어나기도 해 시민들의 안전 또한 위협받고 있다는데... 지난달부터 접수된 노숙인 관련 신고만 130여 건 이상. 경찰은 순찰 강화 등의 노력을 하고 있지만, 며칠 숨어있을 뿐 다시 거리를 점령하기 일쑤라며 곤란함을 표했다. 정말 노숙인 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법은 없는 건지 에서 취재했다. 대한민국 긴급상황 ▶ 식당에서 달려나간 남성들의 정체?! 전북 정읍의 한 식당. 식사를 하던 40대 남성이, 갑자기 의식을 잃고 쓰러지는데?! 이때, 당황한 직원이 먼저 찾은 건 119가 아닌 룸에 있는 한 손님?! 직원의 다급한 요청에 룸에서 나온 손님들은 곧장 쓰러진 남성에게 달려갔고, 바로 심폐소생술을 시작했다. 그리고 1분의 응급처치 끝에 다행히 의식을 되찾았는데... 이 남성들, 알고 보니 퇴근 후 식사 중이던 정읍경찰서 소속 경찰관들! 특히 심폐소생술을 진행한 김철욱 경감은 2년 전에도 쓰러진 동호회원을 구조한 경험이 있던 베테랑으로, 자신도 10년 전 쓰러진 경험이 있어, 응급처치 교육을 누구보다 열심히 받아왔단다. 한순간의 판단이 기적을 만든 현장! ▶ 금은방 金팔찌 절도 사건 경북 포항의 한 금은방. “금팔찌를 사겠다”며 들어온 남성, 1700만 원짜리 순금 팔찌를 손목에 채웠다 풀기를 반복하더니...주인이 방심한 순간! 팔찌를 든 채 그대로 달아나는데!! 주인이 곧장 뒤를 쫓았지만, 남성은 이미 차량을 타고 도주한 뒤. 신고를 받은 경찰은 CCTV 추적 끝에, 경주 시내 한 마사지 업소에 숨어 있던 남성을 검거! 남성은 그 자리에서 붙잡혔고, 다행히 금팔찌는 무사히 회수되었다. 그런데, 지난달엔 광주에서 10대 청소년들이 금은방 귀금속 3천만 원어치를 훔쳤다가 경찰에 붙잡히는 사건도 발생! 잇따르는 금은방 절도, 대책은 없을까? ▶ 34년차 형사의 직감, 보이스피싱 경북 영주의 한 우체국. 택배를 보내러 우체국에 들른 형사의 눈에, 수상한 장면이 포착됐다. 한 할머니가, 창구에서 7천5백만 원 인출을 요구하고 있던 것! 직원과 실랑이를 벌이는 순간, 형사는 곧바로 보이스피싱임을 직감하고 노인을 설득하기 시작했다. 하지만, 보이스피싱 일당에게 완전히 속아넘어간 할머니는 ‘보이스피싱이 아니라'며 끝끝내 2천만 원을 인출하고, 다른 은행에 들러 추가로 5천5백만 원까지 인출하고 마는데... 이를 두고볼 수 없었던 형사! 은행을 나서는 할머니 뒤를 따르며, 수거책의 흔적을 쫓기 시작한다. 그리고 몇 시간의 미행과 잠복 끝에! 드디어 집 앞에서 수상한 남성을 발견하게 되는데... 사소한 의심에서 시작해 끝내 범인을 잡아낸 형사의 집념. 대한민국 긴급상황에서 공개한다. 오달청 ▶ 청소용 드론 최초 제작! 월 매출 1억 신화 “사회에 도움이 되는 드론을 만들고 싶다”는 목표 하나로 창업에 나선 청년 사장이 있다. 오늘의 주인공, 드론 제조업체 대표 장승기 씨다. 건물 외벽 청소 인부들이 매달 한 명꼴로 사망한다는 뉴스를 보고, 드론이 이를 대신할 수 없을까 고민한 것이 첫 시작이었다는데. 당시 국내에 생소했던 청소용 드론을 만들기 위해 해외 자료를 찾아보며 독학으로 제작을 시작했다. 단순히 산업용 드론에 살수 노즐을 붙인 해외 사례와 달리, 그는 전문적인 청소용 드론을 만들어 상용화하고자 했다는데. 각종 레이더와 센서 등을 부착해 외벽과 거리를 정밀하게 인식하도록 하여 안전성을 높이고, 오토 기능으로 청소 효율을 높이는 등, 최첨단 기술을 접목한 청소용 드론을 개발했다. 더 놀라운 점은 설계, 부품 조립, 소프트웨어 개발과 설치까지 전부 직접 제조한다는 점! 퀄리티와 신뢰성이 남다르기 때문에, 생소했던 국내 시장에서도 창업 문의가 빗발치며 월 매출 1억 원 이상을 달성하고 있다는데. 청소용 드론뿐만 아니라 공공기관 정찰용 드론, 프레온 가스를 분사해 점검하는 소방용 드론 등 다양한 특수 드론을 제작하며 기술력을 입증했고, 덕분에 사우디아라비아·두바이·모로코 현지 기업과 MOU까지 체결하는 등 해외에서도 뜨거운 반응을 얻고 있다. 이 모든 것이, 직원 포함 단 5명의 소규모 회사가 거둔 성과라는 점에서 더욱 놀랍다. 항공고등학교부터 공군 부사관, 드론 대기업 회사, 그리고 드론 제조업체 창업까지. 한결같이 늘 하늘과 항공을 향한 꿈을 품고 달려온 승기 씨. 특수 드론이 대중화돼서 안전사고가 없어지는 날을 꿈꾼다는 청년 사장의 진심 어린 드론 이야기를 만나본다. 외국인의 한식로그 ▶ 오스틴의 마음을 훔친 족발&묵은지 막국수 한 상! 오늘의 주인공은 바로 카이스트 교수이자 유튜브 크리에이터로도 활동하며 한식을 사랑하는 미국인 오스틴이다! 이번에 오스틴이 소개할 한 상은 바로 족발 한 상인데! 간장 족발과 오리지널 족발 그리고 묵은지 막국수가 오스틴의 마음을 사로잡았다고! 특히 이곳은 식객들이 대기할 정도로 인기가 많은 곳이라고! 비법 소스로 만든 달짝지근한 간장 족발은 남녀노소 모두에게 인기만점! 그리고 온장고에 70~80도로 저장해 따뜻한 오리지널 족발 역시 모두의 마음을 사로잡았다고 한다. 거기에 환상의 짝꿍 묵은지 막국수! 새콤한 묵은지와 비법 양념장이 어우러져 최강궁합 자랑한단다. 오스틴으로 잡은 족발 한 상을 만나러 인천광역시로 떠나본다. 화제 ▶ 기후위기, 더이상 먼 미래가 아니다! 지구 평균 기온은 이미 산업화 이전 대비 1.5℃를 넘어섰다. 매년 갱신하는 폭염, 예측 불가능한 국지성 폭우, 길어지는 가뭄까지... 국민의 안전과 생계를 위협하는 기후 재난은 이미 일상 속으로 들어왔다. 기후 위기는 더 이상 선택이 아닌 생존의 문제! 우리 모두가 함께 고민해야 할 때다. 우리나라는 2035년 국가온실가스감축목표(NDC) 수립을 앞두고 있다. 탄소중립을 향한 여정에서 ‘얼마나 줄일 것인가'뿐 아니라, 그 과정을 국민과 함께 논의하는 공론의 장이 필요하다. 산업, 전력, 수송 등 부문별 쟁점과 탈탄소 비용까지. 국민과의 소통을 통해 절차적 정당성과 사회적 수용성을 높이는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 세계 9위 탄소 배출국인 우리나라 역시 더 이상 늦출 수 없는 상황. 그렇다면 지금 전력 부문, 수송 부문은 어떤 현황에 있을까? 앞으로 어떤 변화와 노력이 필요할까? 이번 주 에서 그 해답을 찾아본다. ▶RT 8분 ▶환경부

September showed a global economy tougher than expected—OECD's upgrade to 3.2% growth clashes with World Bank's 2.3% slowdown warning, labour holds firm but inflation sticks. Markets ended down weekly despite Friday's bounce, as valuation worries and tariffs temper Fed-fuelled gains. With debt burdens high and AI reshaping jobs, resilience meets risks head-on.

I denne uges afsnit af Bag Om Nyhederne lægger vi ud med et lytterspørgsmål. Det handler om, hvorfor vores arbejdsmarked ikke altid harligevægt mellem udbud og efterspørgsel af arbejdskraft på samme måde som andre markeder.Vi har også taget lidt forsidemateriale med i denne ugesafsnit– bogstaveligt talt. CEPOS har nemlig en forside i Berlingske om regeringens problemer med at holde sit løfte om afbureaukratisering i staten. Regeringen ville afskedige 1000 bureaukrater i 2025, men indtil videre er det kun blevettil 198. Hvorfor mon det? – og hvorfor er der stor fare for, at regeringen ikke når målet på de 1000?Derefter skal vi et smut til Frankrig, som er et afEU-landenes førende økonomiske problembørn. Det vil socialisterne forsøge at tage et opgør med gennem en konfiskatorisk skat, Zucman-skatten, men Frankrig har allerede det højeste skattetryk i OECD. Er flere skatter virkelig løsningen på Frankrigs økonomiske morads, eller er det i virkeligheden en del af problemet?Dertil har vi selvfølgelig også ugens skævert og lyspunkt.For første gang i et par uger er der ikke en eneste Københavns kommunalpolitiker, der har sneget sig med på listen over kandidater til ugens skævert. Til gengæld tager panelet åndelig oprustning under kærlig behandling.

At the 2025 TRACE Annapolis Forum, Nicola Bonucci, Associate Professor at Paris Cité and former General Counsel of the OECD, reflects on 25 years of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and the evolving challenges of global enforcement. From uncertainties around FCPA guidance, political influence, and uneven implementation, to questions about the U.S.'s continued leadership in anti-bribery efforts, Nicola highlights the risks companies face in an increasingly unpredictable landscape—where cross-border investigations, bribe solicitation, and public scrutiny are on the rise.

A new OECD report reveals that nearly 40% of 15-year-olds are uncertain about their future careers. Alarmingly, only one in three students has attended a job fair or completed an internship, and over 20% hold unrealistic job aspirations. These findings come from The State of Global Teenage Career Preparation, a comprehensive look at how well young people are being equipped for the world of work. In this episode of Top Class, OECD Editor Duncan Crawford speaks with the report's lead author, Anthony Mann, to unpack the data and explore what needs to change.

經濟合作發展組織OECD，23號公布了最新的預測報告，當中上調了全球經濟，和美國經濟表現的成長率。雖然這顯示出全球經濟的韌性，但也包含不少隱憂，例如美國總統川普，宣布的H1-B簽證費大漲、既有的關稅問題，以及日前聯準會降息的決定，都有可能讓美國在勞動力市場持續疲軟的狀況下，再面臨更嚴峻的通膨考驗。 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cku2d315gwbbo0947nezjmg86/comments YT收看《寰宇全視界》

The Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth has concluded with a speech from leader Sir Ed Davey. While the current crop of Liberal Democrats are the most successful third-party in 100 years, they have faced questions about why they aren't cutting through more while Nigel Farage is. It's something Davey is aware of and – hoping to exploit how divisive the leader of Reform is – he sought to pitch himself as the anti-Farage. Will it work?Plus, more bad news for the Chancellor. Labour had pledged to aim for the highest growth in the G7. New figures from the OECD did upgrade their global growth forecast, including for Britain, but projected that the UK would see the highest inflation across the G7. How bad is this for Rachel Reeves?James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

What can Sir Ed Davey achieve in 55 minutes? That's how long his speech to Lib Dem conference delegates is coming in at.   Sam, who's at the conference in Bournemouth, and Anne consider the behind-the-scenes tussles and where the Liberal Democrats are trying to position themselves ahead of the next set of elections.  Away from conference, the OECD will release its latest economic outlook, but will it be a good or bad result for Rachel Reeves?  Plus, we have our weekly look at the state of the parties in our voting intentions poll.  Sam and Anne will debrief Ed Davey's speech in an extra episode late on Tuesday afternoon. 

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the latest data shows American business activity slowing further.But first up this morning we should note that the overnight dairy Pulse event brought little-change to either the ASMP or WMP prices. This is as expected for SMP but 'better' than expected for WMP. In NZD however there was a rise because the Kiwi dollar fell. All eyes are now on tomorrows Fonterra annual report.There were also no surprises in the S&P Global/Markit PMIs for the US for September. Both their flash factory and services PMI reading eased slightly, but are not contracting. Growth may be slowing, but selling price inflation is cooling too. The report noted weak new order growth and tariff-taxes were widely cited as the main cause of sharply higher costs, but the weaker demand and stiff competition reportedly limited the scope to raise selling prices,And that is confirmed in the Richmond Fed factory survey which turned down sharply in September. New order levels were weak, cost pressures strong. Services in the same mid-Atlantic area were not very positive either.There was another very large US Treasury 2yr Note auction today, one that saw another pull-back in overall support although the coverage remains strong. The median yield dipped to 3.52% from 3.60% at the prior equivalent event a month ago.In China, Nikkei has found that retail consumer loans are going bad faster, the latest headache for Chinese lenders already plagued by the country's real estate problems. And it comes just when the government aims to stimulate consumption through increased consumer debt backed up by more public borrowings. Nikkei Asia combed through the latest interim disclosures by mainland banks listed in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong and found that nonperforming personal loans rose at a faster pace than those in the real estate sector during the first half of the year.Overnight, Taiwan reported yet another outstandingly good export orders data, again exceeding the expected very good expansion.Super Typhoon Ragasa is expected to hit Hong Kong today, and they are still expecting up to a 5m storm surge (above chart datum). But the eye of the storm is passing slightly south, so it will affect large parts of southern China.India's PMI's were again very expansionary in September for both their services and factory sectors. No signs of cooling in this market.In Europe, their PMIs continue with a modest expansion, even if it is their best in 16 months. But new order levels are only holding, not growing. And the factory sector is now not expanding.And the Swedes delivered a surprise cut to their policy rate, down -25 bps to 1.75%. They cited geopolitical tensions and uncertain US trade policy as the reasons for the move now even though they are experiencing good current growth with inflation up at 3.2% when 2% is their target.In Australia, their PMI's reveal a pullback in September but both sectors are still expanding.Globally, the OECD reported that the global economy was more resilient than anticipated in the first half of 2025, but downside risks loom large as higher barriers to trade and geopolitical and policy uncertainty continue to weigh on activity in many economies. New Zealand doesn't feature in this report, but is sees Australian growth rising, Chinese growth holding at a reasonably good level, and US growth halving to a weak level by 2026.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.12%, down -2 bps from yesterday at this time.The price of gold will start today at US$3781/oz, up another +US$45 from yesterday and a new ATH. Silver was little-changed but still up over US$44/oz.American oil prices are up +US$1 at just under US$63.50/bbl, with the international Brent price now just on US$67.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just under 58.6 USc and down -10 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are also down -10 bps at 88.8 AUc. Against the euro we are down -20 bps at 49.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 65.7, down -20 bps.The bitcoin price starts today at US$111,974 and down -0.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just over +/- 1.0%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

We revisit the five conditions outlined in June that are necessary for crude oil prices to start reflecting the expected year-end weakness, and suggest that September could be a turning point for the oil market. Global oil inventories built, but the rise in OECD stocks has been modest by comparison. In response, both Brent and WTI curves have flattened out and turned into a ‘smile.' Refining margins and runs surged in the third quarter, supporting a rebuilding of global product inventories, though stocks in certain regions and products remain below their five-year averages. As a result, refining margins have eased from their previous stratospheric highs, yet continue to hold up well.   Speaker: Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research   This communication is provided for information purposes only.

Kevin Werbach interviews Karine Perset, Acting Head of the OECD's AI and Emerging Technology Division, about the global effort to shape responsible AI. Perset explains how the OECD—an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries—has become a central forum for governments to cooperate on complex, interdependent challenges like AI. Since launching its AI foresight forum in 2016, the OECD has spearheaded two cornerstone initiatives: the OECD Recommendation on AI, the first intergovernmental standard adopted in 2019, and OECD.AI, a policy observatory that tracks global trends, policies, and metrics. Perset highlights the organization's unique role in convening evidence-based dialogue across governments, experts, and stakeholders worldwide. She describes the challenge of reconciling diverse national approaches while developing common tools, like a global incident-reporting framework and over 250 indicators that measure AI maturity across investment, research, infrastructure, and workforce skills. She underscores both the urgency and the opportunity: AI systems are diffusing rapidly across all sectors, powered by common algorithms that create shared risks. Without aligned safeguards and interoperable standards, countries risk repeating one another's mistakes. Yet if governments can coordinate, share data responsibly, and support one another's policy development, AI can strengthen economic resilience, innovation, and public trust. Karine Perset is the Acting Head of the OECD AI and Emerging Digital Technologies Division, where she oversees the OECD.AI Policy Observatory, the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) & integrated network of experts as well as the OECD Global Forum on Emerging Technologies. She oversees the development of analysis, policies and tools inline with the OECD AI Principles. She also helps governments manage the opportunities and challenges that AI and emerging technologies raise for governments. Previously she was Advisor to ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee and Counsellor of the OECD's Science, Technology and Industry Director. OECD.ai   

Adoption and use of artificial intelligence (AI) for learning purposes continues to grow, but many educators lack training on effective use of AI in the classroom. According to a survey from EdWeek, only 43% of educators surveyed had received any training on AI. Those left without training or district support may be wondering how to demystify AI and embrace this transformative technology. We're here to help. In this episode, we learn from both education and industry experts, Amy Waters and Stefano Piano.  Amy Waters is a 37-year veteran teacher at Hahnville High School in Boutte, Louisiana, with no plans of retiring any time soon.  She is a complete nerd who has taught everything from Latin to computer programming and still loves learning new things and sharing that knowledge with everyone. She is constantly trying to find new and creative ways to teach lessons that will reach all her students and works hard to make sure that every one of them walks away with a sense of accomplishment.     Stefano Piano heads community and partnerships at Mindstone. In this role, he is responsible for hosting and facilitating practical demos and talks about the impact of AI on work and society in more than twenty cities between Europe and North America. Prior to joining Mindstone, he was an education and skills expert at the OECD, where he advised over 15 governments on improving education and training systems and preparing the workforce for AI adoption. He has been teaching at university and delivering lectures, including at Harvard, Kedge Business School, and ISEP. Stefano studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the University of Warwick, and completed postgraduate studies in Economics at Cambridge and LSE as a Rotary Scholar.  Learn from Amy and Stefano about how AI is being used in today's classroom, and how they anticipate AI being used in the future. We also dive deep into educational concerns around AI, and how to make sure you and your students can use it safely, effectively, and ethically.  Hear about tried-and-true project ideas, and AI applications. And, as always, get advice from our AI experts. It's all here, and we know you won't want to miss it.  Ready to help your students dive deeper into the world of generative AI?

More people are getting degrees than ever before, but family background has a big influence on whether people pursue university or another form of tertiary education. That's one of the key findings of this year's OECD report Education at a Glance. The report is the authoritative source of information on the state of education worldwide, with data on the structure, financing and performance of education systems across OECD countries and partner economies. In this edition of Top Class, the OECD's Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher speaks to OECD Editor Duncan Crawford about the main findings.

Ministerstvo školství by v příštím roce mělo hospodařit s rozpočtem, který je o téměř 15 miliard nižší než letos. Podle Martina Kozla z organizace Učitel naživo přitom v resortu chybí trojnásobek této částky. „Vláda se zavázala vynakládat na školství minimálně tolik, co činí průměr OECD. Tedy okolo 320 miliard, takže chybí 44 miliard,“ vypočítává pro Český rozhlas Plus.

Radix DLT is a Layer-1 distributed ledger—think blockchain for DeFi, but without the clunky blocks. It's built from the ground up to make decentralized finance smoother, safer, and more scalable. Why you should listen Radix DLT is a full-stack Layer-1, distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform purpose-built for the next wave of decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 development. Unlike traditional blockchains, Radix isn't chained to blocks—it's a true DLT leveraging its novel Cerberus consensus algorithm, offering atomic composability across shards and effectively limitless scalability. That means DeFi dApps can interoperate seamlessly in a single transaction without choking on traffic—Radix is engineered to scale to the needs of global finance. Radix isn't just about raw speed—it doubles down on usability. On the user side, the Radix Wallet brings clarity: no more blind signing or seed-phrase nightmares. Transactions are human-readable, and multi-factor, decentralized account recovery makes losing access a bore of the past. For developers, Radix gives you Scrypto—the world's first asset-centric smart contract language—and the Radix Engine, a DeFi-optimized “game engine” for building secure, composable dApps fast. Think of it as trading in clunky old engines for a sleek, intuitive ride that actually encourages innovation. Radix wasn't tinkering around—it's OECD-scale serious. With integrated, platform-native identity solutions baked right into its design, Radix is tackling one of the biggest barriers to real-world adoption: bridging crypto and compliance. That means institutional investors can actually bring capital on-chain, using verifiable, on-ledger identity in a way that's compatible with KYC/AML frameworks. If Web3 is ever going mainstream, it needs to solve identity—not just scalability and UX. Radix aims to check all three boxes.

Oil prices have been trading at a premium to fair value over the last two months with Brent's outperformance driven not by geopolitical factors but rather by an lopsided build in global inventories,  with China accounting for two-thirds of the increase. While OECD inventories remain the primary driver in our pricing model, only 25% of this year's global stock build has entered OECD storage, compared to the historical average of 40%, creating a valuation challenge. Mathematically, lower OECD intake raises Brent's fair value, even as global stocks build, resulting in a storage premium. Looking ahead to 2H25, the key questions are how much spare storage capacity China has—currently about 600 million barrels—and whether China will use excess crude to ramp up processing and export more refined products. For now, stock builds are likely to continue outside price-setting Western markets, and despite higher refinery runs, Chinese product exports remain below last year's levels as domestic inventories are replenished. Still, given the market's move toward a sizable surplus and ongoing uncertainty around both the scale and drivers of China's stock build, we are maintaining our current price forecasts.   Speaker:   Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research   This podcast was recorded on September 5, 2025.

Send us a textWhy are U.S. health care costs so high—and what does that mean for you and your family? In this episode, I dive into the real reasons behind America's staggering health care bills.We start with a story that hits close to home—a $189,000 outpatient cancer surgery bill followed by $12,000-a-month immunotherapy—and I unpack how even with Medicare coverage, the pricing dynamics can feel shocking. Using my experience as a physician and health policy researcher, I explain why these massive charges happen and where the system is breaking down.At the national level, we now spend over $5 trillion a year on health care—roughly 18% of our GDP—and this number is growing far faster than inflation. This growth threatens the solvency of key programs like Medicare, which is projected to run out of funds by 2033 (Health Affairs). Employers are also feeling the pinch, with average family coverage costs now topping $25,500 annually (WSJ). Individuals, especially those using ACA exchanges, face rising premiums—some increasing by 20–30% next year (Axios)—and deductibles between $3,000 and $5,000 are now typical.Despite all this spending, our health outcomes are among the worst in the developed world. The U.S. ranks 33rd in infant mortality and 32nd in life expectancy out of 38 OECD countries, even though we spend about $12,000 per person annually—nearly three times the OECD average (America's Health Rankings).So, what drives these costs? It boils down to three factors: high prices, high utilization, and high administrative overhead. Prices for common procedures are far above international norms—a CT scan in the U.S. costs around $900 compared to $279 in the Netherlands and just $97 in Canada (Health Imaging). U.S. physicians, nurses, and hospital executives also earn significantly more, contributing to overall spending (Medscape; JAMA).On the utilization front, studies estimate that around 25% of all care may be unnecessary, driven by defensive medicine, patient expectations, and incentive structures that reward more procedures—not necessarily better outcomes (PGPF; Choosing Wisely).Even administrative overhead plays a massive role: nearly 25% of U.S. health care spending goes to bureaucracy—four times what's typical in simpler, single-payer systems (Health System Tracker; Health Affairs%20of%20US%20GDP)).If you're wondering why your doctor spends just 17 minutes with you or why your premiums feel like a second mortgage, this episode offers the context—and data—to help you understand what's really going on.Takeaways: Start asking about cash prices—especially if you're still in your deductible phase. Preventive steps like regular exercise may offer the highest return on investment when compared to costly downstream care. And above all, consider your plan carefully during open enrollment.For deeper insights, links to all the studies mentioned, and access to my newslet
