OECD Better policies for better lives

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. We draw on more than 60 years of experience and insights to shape policies that foster prosperity and opportunity, underpinned by equality and well-being. We work closely with policy makers, stakeholders and citizens to establish evidence-based in

ternational standards and to find solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and strengthening policies to fight climate change to bolstering education and fighting international tax evasion, the OECD is a unique forum and knowledge hub for data, analysis and best practices in public policy. Our core aim is to set international standards and support their implementation – and help countries forge a path towards stronger, fairer and cleaner societies.

Summer can bring high electricity demand partly due to the widespread use of air conditioning and cooling systems, especially during heatwaves. However, households are ready to make more sustainable energy choices.

survey results show that people are interested in purchasing electricity generated from renewable sources, but this option is not always readily available.

Making cleaner electricity more accessible can help households reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to the transition to net zero.

For children five and under, books beat screens when it comes to learning.

The latest International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study shows that regularly reading books to children continues to be one of the most important learning activities that families can do - but it is not always that common.

In some jurisdictions, fewer than half of households read to their five-year-olds more than three times a week.

Read the report to learn more about the importance of parental activities and other actions that have the most positive impact:

G20 trade accelerated in the second quarter of 2026, boosted primarily by merchandise imports and services trade.

Measured in current US dollars, quarter-on-quarter import growth rose markedly to 6.7%, from the 5.2% growth recorded in the previous quarter, reflecting strong increases in a number of G20 economies.

G20 merchandise exports growth remained broadly flat at 5.9%.

Preliminary estimates also point to an acceleration in services trade, with exports rising by 3.4% and imports by 2.5%, as compared to 2.0% and 1.5% respectively in Q1 2026.

There are large differences across countries in the size of the STEM workforce.

In some OECD countries, science and engineering (S&E) and information and communication technology (ICT) professionals together make up more than 10% of total employment, including Finland Israel, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The combined share falls below 3% in other OECD countries including Colombia, Mexico and Türkiye, and below 2% in several partner economies, including Argentina, India, Indonesia and Peru.

Many of tomorrow’s problem-solvers may be sitting in classrooms right now.

Are we preparing them to reach their potential?

The OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is the world's largest survey of 15-year-old students.

It helps us understand if education systems are preparing young people with the skills and attitudes they need to tackle the world's biggest challenges.

This year's PISA focuses on science, as well as other indicators such as curiosity, persistence and self-directed learning.

Hear from AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio on why science education matters not only for future scientists, but for everyone learning to understand and adapt to a changing world.

The latest results of PISA will be released:

How do tax-benefit systems impact people’s life satisfaction?

Our latest paper, supported via , explores how tax‑benefit systems play a significant role in shaping differences in people’s subjective well‑being across European countries.

The findings show that while higher taxes alone are associated with lower life satisfaction, citizens in countries with effective governments experience higher overall life satisfaction.

It also reveals that lower-income households tend to report higher life satisfaction when they receive more support through benefit, while higher-income households that pay more taxes report only slightly lower life satisfaction.

This suggests that inclusive tax-benefit systems can enhance overall life satisfaction if accompanied by good governance quality.
