In this special episode, Philippa Wraithmell is joined by the Digital Futures Group — Gemma Williams, Daren White, Emma Darcy, Gary Henderson, James Garnett, Jonny Wathen (and a shoutout to Abid Patel!) — a collective of leading UK and European educators and edtech voices redefining what meaningful digital transformation looks like.   Together, they ask the big questions: Are we truly innovating, or just dressing up old systems in new tech? Do frameworks from the DfE, EU, and OECD genuinely help schools, or add to the noise? Is EdTech narrowing or widening the equity gap? And what must we unlearn if we're serious about futureproofing education?   Expect bold honesty, shared insight, and a challenge to every assumption about what progress in education really means.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pat previously served as the US Treasury's Associate International Tax Counsel and has been a frequent guest on the podcast.

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.

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.Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

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.

What if the housing crisis wasn't just about supply—but about outdated policies holding us back?   In this episode, I unpack the latest OECD report on Canada and what it reveals about housing affordability. From skyrocketing rents and home prices to stagnant incomes, the report paints a sobering picture of why so many Canadians feel locked out of the market. But it also points to solutions we can act on right now.   We dive into zoning barriers, labor shortages, and rising material costs that make development slower and more expensive. I break down why Canada's share of social housing has fallen so sharply, how tax incentives can fuel speculation, and why reforming permitting and supporting construction innovation could be game changers. We also look at lessons from other countries and what coordinated action across all levels of government might look like.   Tune in to hear the real story behind Canada's housing affordability challenge—and what needs to change if we want to make homes accessible again.   —   Read the OECD report here: https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2025/05/oecd-economic-surveys-canada-2025_ee18a269   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.

Privacy in the digital age has grown from a background concern into one of the defining issues of our time. What began with simple questions about online safety has expanded into a complex, global conversation about how artificial intelligence, biometric data, and massive data ecosystems are reshaping daily life. Pam Dixon has been at the center of these discussions for more than two decades. As the founder and executive director of the World Privacy Forum, she's worked across the U.S., Europe, India, Africa, and beyond, advising governments, international organizations, and policymakers on how to create effective privacy protections.  In this episode, Pam takes us through the history of modern privacy law, the ways different regions approach the challenge, and the new frontiers like collective privacy, AI governance, and health data that demand fresh thinking. She also offers a grounded perspective on how to build systems that safeguard individuals while still allowing innovation to thrive, and why getting those guardrails right now will shape the future of trust in technology.  Show Notes: [4:49] Pam identified privacy risks in early resume databases and produced a 50-page report on job boards, now known as job search platforms. [8:56] Pam now chairs the civil society work at OECD in AI, contributing to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Privacy Guidelines (first adopted in 1980). [11:17] The launch of the internet marked a major shift in privacy, transitioning from slower, isolated systems to globally connected networks. [11:46] Early adoption of the internet was limited to academia, government, and tech enthusiasts before reaching the public. [12:45] Privacy frameworks were built on Fair Information Practices, developed in the United States in the 1970s by the Health, Education, and Welfare Committee (later HHS). [15:58] GDPR was developed and enforced in 2018 with extraterritorial provisions applying to companies worldwide (General Data Protection Regulation, enacted in 2016 and enforced in 2018). [18:59] Large language models and deep machine learning advancements have created new and complex privacy challenges. [22:06] Some countries approach privacy with more flexibility and openness, while maintaining strong guardrails. [23:37] In June 2023, a University of Tokyo study on data privacy was presented at an OECD meeting, highlighting evolving global strategies. [26:30] Governments are working together on “data free flow with trust” to address cross-border data concerns. [28:09] Pam warns that AI ecosystems are still forming, and policymakers need to observe carefully before rushing into regulation. [28:31] She emphasizes the emerging issue of collective privacy, which impacts entire groups rather than individuals. [29:04] Privacy issues are complex and not linear; they require ongoing adaptation. [30:24] ChatGPT's launch did not fundamentally change machine learning, but the 2017 transformer paper did, making AI more efficient. [31:53] Known challenges in AI include algorithmic bias related to age, gender, and skin tone. [33:07] Legislative proposals for privacy now require practical testing rather than theoretical drafting. [35:39] AI legislative debates often center on fears of harming innovation, but scientific data should guide regulation. [40:29] NIH reports caution participants in certain medical AI programs to fully understand risks before joining. [41:59] Some patients willingly share all their health data to advance medical research, while others are more cautious. [43:50] Tools for privacy protection are developing, but the field remains in transition. [48:56] Asia and Europe are leading in AI and privacy transitions, with strong national initiatives and regulations. [52:42] The U.S. privacy landscape relies on sector-specific laws such as HIPAA (1996) and COPPA (1998) rather than a single national framework. [54:48] Studies show that wealthy nations often have the least trust in their digital ecosystems, despite advanced infrastructure. [56:19] A little-known U.S. law, A119, allows for voluntary consensus standards in specialized areas, enabling faster innovation compared to ISO processes. [56:48] Voluntary standards can accelerate development in fields like medical AI, avoiding years-long delays from traditional approval processes. [57:32] An FDA case study on an AI-driven heart pump showed significant performance changes between initial deployment and later use, underscoring the importance of testing and oversight.

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
