Overview

Our Employment Committee ensures that OECD analysis and recommendations both reflect the need for flexible labor markets and a comprehensive policy approach to job strategies and social policy. It also promotes active social dialogue between employers and policymakers to advance in crucial areas including skills, inclusion in labor markets, and in promoting youth integration.
