Background note for Inclusive Societies While growth is essential for recovery, we also need to improve living standards and peoples quality of life with access to health care, quality jobs, opportunities to learn and improve skills, and a clean environment. Addressing inequality, which has been on the rise even before the crisis, is crucial. Today, in OECD countries, the average income of the richest 10% of the population is approximately nine times that of the poorest, up from seven to one 25 years ago. Rapid growth in emerging economies, notably in Asian countries, has also been associated with persisting vulnerability and high inequalities. As emerging markets struggle to maintain high growth and as middle-class expectations rise, policies for social cohesion and long-term development are needed now more than ever.

In the past decade internet penetration worldwide has grown by more than 566%. The majority of consumers now own at least one mobile device. High speed networks combined with sensors, machine-to-machine communication, and smart applications are bringing the next wave of innovation. Wireless connectivity now links objects like GPS devices, vehicles and even street lights to the Internet. This is leading to entire interconnected systems that can help countries achieve important economic and social goals. Some expect the Internet of Things to connect 50 billion mobile wireless devices by 2020. The Internet benefits individuals with a larger variety of digital goods and services, lower prices, higher productivity, a more efficient labour market, and improvements in the environment, health and education. It benefits businesses with improved efficiencies in everything from commercial services to industrial manufacturing and expands global markets. And it benefits governments, making it easier to consult and communicate with citizens and deliver services more cheaply. Connectivity and digital technologies are fundamentally changing the way we live, work, learn, socialise, and connect. The internet has lowered the barriers to starting a business and a new wave of digital entrepreneurs are using the Internet of Things to offer services that would have been unimaginable in the past. Part of this revolution has involved the rise of peer-to-peer (P2P) and human-to-human (H2H) services, allowing people to share everything from their cars and homes to their talent and time. People have been swapping and sharing since the beginning of time, but increased global connectivity is making this possible on an unprecedented scale. How does the sharing economy affect traditional notions of buying and selling in a capitalist economy? Are we experiencing a shift in the relative importance given to ownership and access in society? How do regulatory frameworks need to be adapted to address the shared economy? Further reading Citizenship Report 2013, Microsoft 2014 Microsoft Global Public Policy Agenda Microsoft

Background note for Better Life Index: Netizen Engagement & Empowerment There is more to life than the cold numbers of GDP and economic statistics. The trick is deciding what actually makes for a better life, and how to measure progress. Economic growth is not an end in itself the point of growth is to deliver better lives for people across society. It was already becoming clear in the years before the crisis that GDP alone was not good enough during the boom years inequality was widening in most OECD countries, and more money did not seem to be making people happier. But what else should we be measuring to get the full picture? The OECD started looking at this question more than a decade ago and in 2011 introduced an internationally comparable set of well-being indicators (How's Life? report) and an interactive tool, the Better Life Index, which invites users to look at how their country measures up on the issues that matter to them, across a range of topics from clean air to education, from income to health. But the work is on-going. Each year since its inauguration the underlying data in the Better Life Index is updated and innovations are made to enhance the content and accessibility of the site. In addition to English, users can now play with the site in French, German, Russian and Spanish. Last year we also updated the Hows Life? report finding that peoples life satisfaction has decreased particularly in countries hardest hit by the crisis and many of these same countries are also reporting decreases in trust of their governments. Finally, the report raised important questions about what makes for a quality job and how we all need to give greater thought to how we will sustain our current well-being for future generations. Over 55,000 people have shared with us their views on what makes for a better life. Add your voice to the debate by going to www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org and sharing your index with us today! 7

The successful integration of immigrants strengthens communities and promotes inclusive growth in the long run. Nations that focus more on immigrants integration achieve higher levels of economic competitiveness, are more innovative, and have higher rates of entrepreneurship. Migrants contribute more in taxes and social contributions than they receive in individual benefits, while remittances sent home by migrants to developing countries are equivalent to more than three times official development assistance. However, the following downsides exist: young migrants who fail in education, adult migrants who remain unemployed and unregulated migration. These challenges have been exacerbated over the past few years as migrants have been hit hard by the economic crisis. For example, in Europe half of unemployed immigrants spend over 12 months looking for work, according to the OECD 2013 International Migration Outlook. Such challenges can make migration a political lightning rod, a topic for angry debate, and extreme political choices. Further reading International Migration Outlook OECD work on migration 9

Background note for Lunch Getting Cities Right The explosive growth of cities is one of the most significant demographic trends of the 21st century. More than 3.6 billion people, or half the world's population, currently live in cities, and the number is expected to exceed 6 billion by 2050. What do Beijing, Johannesburg, New York City, Rome, and Sao Paolo have in common? Cities incubate creativity; promote business creation and game-changing ideas. But they also harbour large pockets of unemployment and poverty and suffer from problems such as congestion, pollution and crime. Getting cities right is key in addressing global social, economic and environmental challenges. Cities are at the forefront in addressing issues related to energy and climate change, changing care for ageing populations, ensuring access to quality jobs and education, and efficient transportation. Responding to these challenges requires a shift in the way cities are planned, designed and managed. Forum 2014 will feature case studies and inspiring good practice in getting cities right.

Background note for Lunch Re-using Food Over a billion tons of food - one third of global food production - is lost or wasted annually, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. Levels of wastage are increasing due to food either being thrown away, left uneaten or spoiled because of poor storage and transport conditions. At the same time, global food production has increased at a faster pace than population growth over the past half century. The EU and USA have notoriously experienced the problem of food mountains.
Wasting food also raises social and moral questions in a world where millions of people still suffer from hunger. There are environmental issues connected to food waste, this includes wasteful use of chemicals, fuel used for transportation, and a significant climate impact. Efficiency measures, including re-using or recycling food instead of throwing it away, could create enormous savings and help the fight against hunger. If food waste was halved, greenhouse emissions could be slashed by 5 per cent or more, while reducing food waste by just a quarter, would be sufficient to feed 870 million suffering from chronic hunger.

Tax revenue provides developing countries with essential and sustainable funding to invest in development, relieve poverty and deliver public services. It offers an antidote to aid dependence. Closely linked is the need to limit the large amounts of money illicitly flowing out of developing countries. An estimated $1 trillion, almost one-third of Africas GDP, leaves developing countries annually, though the true size of hidden transfers is almost impossible to ascertain. These flows involve both cash from criminal activities such as human trafficking, drugs, smuggling, and corruption, and legitimately-earned money seeking to evade taxes. Illicit financial flows deprive governments of tax revenues to fund health care, education, and other vital public services either leaving the neediest without help, or forcing law- abiding taxpayers to cover the shortfall. Worse, once legitimised, illicit money is often used to fund further illegal activities, including civil wars and terrorism.
Strengthening domestic resource mobilisation is not just a question of raising revenue: it is also about designing a tax system that promotes inclusiveness, encourages good governance, matches societys views on appropriate income and wealth inequalities and promotes social justice. The key issue is how developing countries can best be supported to take advantage of the more transparent international environment to strengthen their tax systems and to stop the outflow of illicit money.

Background note for Ageing (Un)Equally Ageing is a major social, economic, political and development issue for the 21st century. Today, there are over 900 million people in the world over the age of 60. By 2050, that number will have grown to 2.4 billion, and a very large proportion of the worlds population over 60 will be living in developing countries. Inequality in income, wealth, and health may result in growing numbers of older people finding themselves in poverty. Many countries are building contributory pension systems, while large numbers of unemployed young people cannot contribute and will be at risk of poverty when they age. To meet these challenges, it will be essential that everyone, including immigrants and women, enter the work force. Growing numbers of older people are in good health, have valuable skills and experience and are willing to make a significant contribution to society. Allowing people to stay active as they grow older and to continue contributing to society is key, but at the moment older workers are often confronted with age-linked stereotypes and discrimination. Strict enforcement of fair employment rules is critical, but we also need to transform the culture of the workplace. 13
As we live longer, we have the opportunity to manage our working lives with more flexibility, handle work with caring for younger and older members of society, while working part-time to supplement pensions. This will help address the fact that, millions of adult workers often women are struggling to balance their duties on the job with efforts at home to care for elderly parents. In many cases, the same workers are part of a sandwich generation that still supports dependent children (some in their twenties but unemployed). Caregiving responsibilities are one reason that workers retire sooner than they planned. Workplace rules that make room for caregiving demands, including leave policies, can help caregivers hold on to their jobs, and contribute to the broader economy.

Businesses, organisations and economic regions that embrace creativity generate higher revenue and provide greater stability into the future. Based on ideas, the creative economy spans economic, social, cultural and technological aspects and is at the crossroads of the arts, business and technology. It relies on an unlimited global resource: human creativity, skills and talent.
The creative economy covers a large variety of creative fields, from advertising, broadcasting, film/music industries, Internet and mobile content industry, computer games to the visual and performing arts, fashion, design, architecture, or tourism. A large share of radical creativity and innovations emerge from new firms, often start-ups, that account for up to 60 per cent of net job creation in some countries.

Background note for Health & Innovation With the increase in the percentage of the worlds population over the age of 60, as well as increasing life expectancy in general, the diseases linked to aging pose enormous challenges both for individuals and societies in terms of quality of life and economic burden.
Over 44 million people are already living with dementia worldwide, with a projected increase to exceed 135 million people by 2050 as the global population ages; over 70% will be in emerging and developing countries. Alzheimers disease is more than an emerging global health crisis: it is a social, employment, and economic challenge that governments, business and civil society need to address urgently.
The rapid growth of digital data collection offers an unprecedented opportunity for more effective, efficient and humane care, and gives digital doctors, healthcare providers, and health care facilities the chance to play a unique role. Large scale data collection widely shared and compared through the adoption of Open Access policies, could effectively harness technological progress and ensure that data will be turned into useful and actionable health information. Already doctors are making treatment decisions based on so-called evidence-based medicine, which involves systematically reviewing clinical data and making treatment decisions based on the best available information.
Breakthrough innovations become possible when the collection of clinical data is combined with rapid advances in the emerging fields of bio-medicine, such as genomic technologies, nano-sciences, and regenerative medicine. However, an improved environment for the integration of new technologies into medical research is needed, in particular for facilitating the transfer of technology-associated discoveries from the laboratory to the point of care. And, regulation has to keep up with technology in order to, for example, avoid compromising patient privacy.

Skills and education act as social glue with an impact going far beyond higher salaries and better jobs. The recent OECD Survey of Adult Skills shows that individuals with lower proficiency in literacy are more likely than those with better skills to report poor health, to believe that they have little impact on political processes, and not to participate in associative or volunteer activities. In most countries, they are also less likely to trust others.
Education plays a major role in equalising opportunities and counteracting the erosion of core beliefs that hold society together. Policy needs to be involved in, not only raising average skill levels, but most importantly in ensuring access to education and skills.
By 2020 90% of jobs will require digital skills, but according to the OECD Survey of Adult Skills only 50% of students between 16 and 24 are digitally competent, dropping to 30% between the ages of 16 and 65. Young people in disadvantaged areas are especially important to reach. They have the most to gain from the digital revolution, but unless they get the access and opportunity they will be left even further behind.

Background note for Institutional (In)Competence The global economic crisis has undermined trust in government. Today only four out of ten citizens in OECD countries say they have confidence in their national authorities. The increasingly short-term focus of modern politics is leading to a collective failure to find solutions to major global challenges, which require coordinated, longer-term action. All of this shines a bright light on the need for politics and political institutions to adapt to 21st century needs. Governments and political institutions must find ways to demonstrate and improve their reliability and responsiveness to the concerns of citizens. They must reform to become more open and inclusive. They need to show integrity and fairness in the way they operate and deal with their constituents. This also applies to international governmental organisations and processes such as the G20, which can sometimes be further removed from citizens.

Background note for Is Investing in Fossil Fuels a Risky Business? Governments are facing a fundamental dilemma: to take early action to come to grips with the risks of climate change in a way that is compatible with economic growth, or see their ability to limit this threat slip from their hands with the risk of unacceptable costs of inaction. Discussions are vital on the road to the UN Climate Summit in September 2014 and ultimately to an agreement at the 21st UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015. Finance and investment are key areas that will make change happen. Fossil fuels are not the future, yet investment decisions currently being made in the market appear to assume that they will remain the dominant source of energy. Are markets once again mispricing risk?

The cornerstone of OECD work on privacy is its newly revised Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data (2013). Another key component of work in this area aims to improve cross-border co-operation among privacy law enforcement authorities. This work produced an OECD Recommendation on Cross-border Co-operation in the Enforcement of Laws Protecting Privacy in 2007 and inspired the formation of the Global Privacy Enforcement Network, to which the OECD provides support. Other projects have examined privacy notices and considered privacy in the context of horizontal issues such as radio frequency indentification (RFID), digital identity management, and looked at metrics to inform policy making in these areas. The important role of privacy is also addressed in the OECD Recommendation on Principles for Internet Policy Making (2011) and the Seoul Ministerial Declaration on the Future of the Internet Economy (2008).
Current work is examining privacy-related issues raised by large-scale data use and analytics. It is part of a broader project on the data-driven innovation and growth, which already produced a preliminary report identifying key issues.

Background note for Lunch Inclusive Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurs generate jobs, spur innovation and contribute to social well-being. In the OECD area, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) employ more than half of the labour force in the private sector; in the European Union they account for over 99% of all enterprises. Given their importance in all economies, SMEs are essential for economic recovery.
One of the most promising and under-explored avenues for governments seeking to enhance employment and stimulate social inclusion is promotion of business creation by people who are disadvantaged or under-represented in entrepreneurship. Women are as highly-educated, or more so, than men, yet, they are less likely to believe that they have the ability to start their own business. Individuals between 55 and 64 were responsible for almost one in four new U.S. businesses in 2011, but while they often have high levels of technical skills and access to financial resources, they may lack entrepreneurial skills. Young people are only one-third as likely as adults to be self-employed, as they experience greater difficulty in raising capital and often lack entrepreneurial skills. While migrants represent a significant pool of entrepreneurs, they may face discrimination and require support to overcome educational, linguistic and financial barriers. 29
Many inspiring policy practices are already in place, but much more can be done to address the specific challenges these groups face and open-up entrepreneurship opportunities and policies to all. Forum 2014 will look into current good practices of inclusive entrepreneurship, and explore how to bolster an entrepreneurial spirit among all groups of society in order to create a more sustainable, inclusive and fairer labour market.

Background note for Lunch Discussion on Foresight What if? Nobody can predict the future, but we can ensure that we become more resilient in dealing with uncertainty and disruptive change. Resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities and systems to resist, adapt, and grow in the face of stress and shocks. Resilience involves being prepared for uncertainty, but also developing the capacity to cope with change and emerge stronger than before. While change has always happened, it has become faster, more fundamental and possibly less predictable, driven by the rapid pace of globalisation, especially the constant innovation of technology. People often perceive uncertainty and change as a threat, disrupting the world they know and have gotten used to. But hiding or fighting is not the best strategy. An open and positive attitude offers a more promising future. All actors need to be prepared for uncertainty, whether it is governments assessing and trying to mitigate risks such as natural disasters or companies trying to anticipate how their industry needs to adapt to technological changes. Successfully planning for the future is about sensing where to look more carefully for clues, understanding how to interpret weak signals, and having the courage to act when the signals are still ambiguous. It is not about predicting the future, but about breaking the habit of assuming that the future will look much like the present. Planning for uncertainty is about opening organisations minds to previously inconceivable or imperceptible developments and preparing for a future that might happen, rather than the future they would like to create.

In the area of development aid, donors also increasingly recognise the importance of participation and upgrading in GVCs for private sector development. Within GVCs the value created by the growing services sector is essential to our economy and society. Teachers, lawyers, architects and medical staff are all service providers, while businesses use the services of specialists in areas such as transportation, information technology and accounting. The services sector represents almost 50% of global trade in advanced economies and a growing share globally, employs the most workers in major economies and creates more new jobs than any other sector. Through international trade, services can transcend national borders and compete in global markets. Trade in services drives the exchange of ideas, know-how and technology. It helps firms cut costs, increase productivity and boost competitiveness, while consumers benefit from lower costs and greater choice. But international trade in services remains restricted by many barriers, because of the importance of services to developing value and jobs for our economies, it is essential to identify and overcome these barriers.

Financial inclusion - universal access to financial services in a fair, predictable and transparent manner at affordable costs - is a key building block for more equitable growth. Many countries looked to better financial education to improve consumer financial literacy and prepare people to make the important big and even daily financial decisions that shape their economic futures. The International Network for Financial Education is pooling the experience of some 100+ countries to share practices to make financial education programmes more effective. The recent introduction of a financial literacy component in PISA, the OECDs worldwide study of 15-year-old school pupils' school performance, will identify the main factors associated with financial literacy and help define policy measures to improve it.
But education is not enough. In 2011 the G20 sponsored rapid development of high level principles on financial consumer protection and many countries in OECD and G20 are now working to implement them. More fundamentally many people are subject to severe disadvantages because they are not at all connected to organised financial systems. This is a problem not just in developing countries, but also in segments of the population even in the most advanced societies.
Six years into the crisis, can we be confident that the banking system is now safer, and taxpayers protected from being asked to come to the rescue again? Has the crisis meant that enough has been done? Should we be reassured now that the economy is picking up and business confidence is returning?
