Most people know Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the go to number to evaluate an economy's performance. It is often referenced in the news, sometimes directly, other times implied in discussions of economic recession, recovery or boom. But other indicators, further removed from the limelight, are also vital for economic analysis: for example, Household Disposable Income (HDI) helps us to monitor changes in money that households have available to either spend or save for the future.
In this episode of OECD Podcasts, Ashley Ward goes behind the numbers to learn how they're compiled, what they're good for, and how they complement each other with the help of the National Accounts Division’s Sofia Sacks Ferrari and Philip Chan.
Host: Ashley Ward, Advisor and Communications Manager (Statistics and Data Directorate).
Guests:
o Sofia Sacks Ferrari, Statistician (National Accounts Unit)
o Philip Chan, Analyst (National Accounts Unit)

Guest: Frida Grundhal, Project Co-ordinator, Yalla Trappan.
In this edition of OECD Podcasts, Katrina Baker and Shayne MacLachlan are Joined by Frida Grundahl from Yalla Trappen; a groundbreaking social enterprise dedicated to creating job opportunities and fostering financial independence for Sweden’s foreign-born women. Statistically, foreign-born women are said to be one of the most distant from the labour market and Yalla Trappen is working to empower these women by giving them an opportunity to break down their social isolation, and to help them stand on their own two feet financially.
In their conversation, Shayne and Frida discuss examples of Yalla Trappen’s work and strategies, the struggles of establishing a non-profit in a competitive environment and how Yalla Trappen has partnered with business and local government to crack policy challenges regarding foreign-born women and getting them meaningful employment.

In this edition of OECD Podcasts, Shayne MacLachlan from the OECD Centre of Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities is joined by Jesse Shapins from Urban Partners. Together they discuss how Urban Partners’ involvement in projects on local, municipal and national levels can help to achieve climate action and social sustainability.
In their conversation, they cover the concept of green and thriving neighbourhoods and cities, emphasising the fact that “a great city is not just green buildings”. They also investigate examples of the repurposing of state land and efforts to improve the social landscape in less-advantaged areas. Finally, they explore how to bridge the investment gap in climate action to ensure that local development is inclusive, green and accessible to all local communities.

Young entrepreneurs have a huge role to play as slow productivity growth, climate change, demographic change and the digital transition come together in a perfect storm for many economies. The new OECD-EU “Missing Entrepreneurs” report finds that if youth (18-29 years old) participated in early-stage entrepreneurship at the same rate as “core age” men (30-49 years old), there would be an additional 3.6 million “missing youth entrepreneurs” in OECD countries. This accounts for about 11% of the total number of “missing entrepreneurs” in the OECD as young people face a range of barriers to success. David Halabisky from the OECD and Anita Tiessen, the CEO of Youth Business International, unwrap issues around money, mindset and motivation for young people in the world of business.
Guest: Anita Tiessen, CEO of Youth Business International

According to the UN Refugee Agency, more than 100 million people were forcibly displaced in 2022. With Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, Europe has seen the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War with more than 6 million people fleeing Ukraine. This is a big challenge for refugee protection and reception systems. Clearly something public services cannot stem on their own. This is where the social and solidarity economy steps in and steps up to both support governments and fill gaps and public support. This podcast discusses how the social and solidarity economy can fast track the labour-market integration of refugees and migrants.
Guests: Anne Kjaer-Bathel: Co-founder and CEO of ReDI School of Digital Integration, Berlin

Extreme heat is creating major challenges for cities. The urban “heat island” effect traps cities in a bubble of scorching temperatures, which endangers lives and puts pressure on emergency services and infrastructure. Often the poorest neighbourhoods bear the worst consequences of rising heat waves. Andrew Lombardi discusses how heat exacerbates inequalities in cities and breaks down what cities can do to save lives now and enhance heat resilience through better policies and practices.

In 2015, the United Nations released the Sustainable Development Goals to help create a more sustainable and equitable world. The 17 goals included procurement systems, calling governments to procure in a more sustainable manner. But how does this actually work? How can governments include sustainability in their procurement systems? And can sustainable public procurement help mitigate the climate crisis? Steven Schooner, Professor of Government Procurement Law at George Washington University, helps us to answer these questions and more on this podcast. This is the second episode in the series with MAPS.

Over the past few decades, as trade and investment barriers have lessened, and transport and communication costs have declined, multinational enterprises or MNEs have become an increasingly important fixture in the global economy. As these entities begin to represent a larger share of global economic activity, the importance of monitoring them and understanding their behaviour has never been greater. However, MNEs cross borders by definition, making them notably difficult to keep track of at the national level. The new OECD UNSD Multinational Enterprise Information Platform gathers together data on the world's largest multinationals from a range of public sources. These data cover the geographical and digital scope of individual multinationals and an array of indicators, complementing major recent reforms to the international tax system led by the OECD and in response to the challenges arising from digitalisation. But what new benefits does this initiative deliver? What does the data reveal? And how can it be used for economic analysis? And what does this say about where the global economy is heading?
This OECD Podcast aims to address these questions and more in conversation with one of our own data experts.

When governments need to buy anything from office supplies to infrastructure, the process is more complex than your ordinary shopping trip. How do we know that governments are using good judgement when purchasing items or awarding contracts? Who advises governments on these processes to ensure that they are transparent, efficient, and cost effective? That's where MAPS, the methodology for assessing procurement systems, steps in. Diana Viljoen, from Global Affairs Canada and member of the MAPS Technical Advisory Group will answer these questions and more on this podcast. This is the first episode in the series with the MAPS Network.

Bertrand Piccard est un « savanturier » psychiatre et explorateur. Il a fait le premier tour du monde en ballon en 1999, puis en avion solaire avec l'avion Solar Impulse en 2015-2016. En tant que Président de la Fondation Solar Impulse, il est aussi un « explorateur de solutions » face au plus grand défi de notre temps : le changement climatique. Après avoir survolé la terre, il travaille à sa sauvegarde et démontre que celle-ci est non seulement possible, mais aussi rentable. Il évoque ici des pistes innovantes et concrètes pour avancer : 1 500 solutions efficientes qui sont à la fois écologiques et rentables. Et face à un cadre juridique et réglementaire anachronique qui ne permet pasr toujours de mettre en place ces solutions, il propose 50 recommandations de loi clés en main pour le moderniser.
Fidèle à l’esprit de pionnier de ses illustres ancêtres, Bertrand Piccard bouscule nos paradigmes et nos certitudes, ces dogmes qui nous font croire que beaucoup de choses sont impossibles. La protection de l'environnement est une aventure enthousiasmante, qui nécessite d'explorer de nouvelles manières de faire et de penser. Nous pouvons devenir les pionniers d’une saine modernité, dès maintenant... C’est ce que Bertrand Piccard démontre ici, avec la rigueur et l’ardeur d’un découvreur.

L'Enfance est une période critique au cours de laquelle les individus développent un grand nombre de compétences nécessaires pour s'épanouir plus tard dans la vie. La promotion du bien-être des enfants n'est pas seulement une fin importante en soi, mais elle est également essentielle afin de préserver la prospérité et la soutenabilité de l'économie pour les générations futures. Cependant, le bien-être des enfants est très récent dans l'agenda politique.
Olivier Thevenon, qui dirige l'Unité du bien-être des enfants au centre de l'OCDE pour le bien être, l'inclusion, la durabilité et l'égalité des chances, explique où nous en sommes aujourd’hui en matière de bien-être des enfants dans les pays de l’OCDE et examine les différences entre le bien-être des filles et des garçons. De plus, Olivier Thevenon évoque les enjeux liés à la pandémie de COVID-19, qui a plongé de nombreuses familles dans la pauvreté. Il se penche également sur l’action des pouvoirs publics et les plans d'actions dans les pays de l’OCDE pour améliorer le bien-être des enfants.

The social economy can help boost prospects for women… and men. One of the big problems in tackling gender equality is breaking down gender stereotypes that drive women into what have often been called “pink collar jobs”. These are jobs like childcare, education, personal and household services, plus social work. Nitya Nangalia from SEWA Bharat and Natalie Laechelt from the OECD unpack the role of the social economy in the quest to move beyond pink collar jobs.
