RIGHTS GUIDE Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 14 – 18 October OECD Stand - Hall 6.2 Stand D59 The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) provides a global forum for 34 member countries in which governments can work together to understand what drives economic, social and environmental change and to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems. We measure productivity and global flows of trade and investment. We analyse and compare data to predict future trends. We set international standards on a wide range of things, from agriculture and tax to the safety of chemicals. We also look at issues that directly affect daily life, like how much people pay in taxes and social security, and how much leisure time they can take. We compare how different countries’ school systems are readying their young people for modern life, and how different countries’ pension systems will care for their citizens in old age. Each year, we publish about 500 titles in both English and French in the OECD iLibrary and the OECD Online Bookshop, as well as periodicals and online databases. Our publications are developed for the varying needs of different audiences, ranging from experts to the wider public.

How’s Life? 2015 Measuring Well-Being How’s Life? describes the essential ingredients that shape people’s well-being in OECD countries and partner countries (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa). It includes a wide variety of statistics, capturing both material well-being (such as income, jobs and housing) and the broader quality of people’s lives (such as their health, education, worklife balance, environment, social connections, civic engagement, subjective well-being and safety). The report documents the latest evidence on well-being, as well as changes over time, and the distribution of well-being outcomes among different groups of the population.
October 2015 (Biennial) 260 pages, 21 x 28 cm ISBN 978-92-64-21101-8 €37 $52 £34 ¥4 800 Themes: Economics, Social Issues, Migration, Health Rights available in all languages except Spanish
This third edition of How’s Life? develops our understanding of well-being in new ways. A special focus on child well-being finds that children from poorer families often lag behind in life. The report introduces new measures to capture some of the natural, human, social and economic resources that support well-being over time. A chapter on volunteering suggests that volunteer work can create a virtuous circle: doing good makes people feel good, and brings a variety of other well-being benefits to both volunteers and to society at large. Finally, the report looks at inequalities in well-being across different regions within countries, demonstrating that where people live shapes their opportunities for living well.
How’s Life? is part of the OECD Better Life Initiative, which features a series of publications on measuring well-being, as well as the Better Life Index (www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org), an interactive website that aims to involve citizens in the debate about what a better life means to them.

OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2015
The twenty-first OECD edition of the Agricultural Outlook, and the eleventh prepared jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), provides projections to 2024 for major agricultural commodities, biofuels and fish. Notable in the 2015 report is a special feature on Brazil. Real commodity prices are projected to resume their long-term decline on the basis of on-trend productivity growth and lower input prices. Brazil is poised to become the foremost supplier in meeting additional global demand, mostly originating from Asia. Opportunities exist to extend the benefits of Brazil’s growth to the poorest as well as to reduce pressure on natural resources.

Better Policies for Development 2015 Policy Coherence and Green Growth In 2015, as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) come to an end, the international community is embarking on a new global framework for sustainable development. The international community, including the OECD and its members, will need to adapt its policy instruments and working methods to successfully achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. To contribute to this process, this report introduces the concept of Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD), along with a proposal for monitoring coherence.

The report includes numerous contributions from intellectuals, member states and civil society. Contents: 1. Insights on the transition to a universal development agenda 2. Implementing policy coherence for sustainable development beyond 2015 3. Policy coherence, green growth and sustainable development 4. Monitoring policy coherence for sustainable development 5.

Historically, the Sahara has played an intermediary role between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, yielding complex commercial and human exchanges that now include trafficking. This book interprets the structure, geographical and organizational mobility of criminal groups and migratory movements. It also helps to stimulate the Sahel strategies of the European Union, the United Nations, the African Union and the Economic Community of the States of West Africa (ECOWAS) to create lasting peace.

Universal Basic Skills What Countries Stand to Gain While access to schooling has expanded around the world, many countries have not realised the hoped-for improvements in economic and social well-being. Access to education by itself is an incomplete goal for development; many students leave the education system without basic proficiency in literacy and numeracy.

As the world coalesces around new sustainable development targets towards 2030, the focus in education is shifting towards access and quality. Using projections based on data from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and other international student assessments, this report offers a glimpse of the stunning economic and social benefits that all countries, regardless of their national wealth, stand to gain if they ensure that every child not only has access to education but, through that education, acquires at least the baseline level of skills needed to participate fully in society.

OECD Skills Studies Skills for Social Progress The Power of Social and Emotional Skills Today’s children will need a balanced set of cognitive, social and emotional skills in order to succeed in modern life. Their capacity to achieve goals, work effectively with others and manage emotions will be essential to meet the challenges of the 21st century. While everyone acknowledges the importance of socio-emotional skills such as perseverance, sociability and selfesteem, teachers and parents often remain unaware of how to enhance these skills. Policies and programmes designed to measure and enhance socio-emotional skills vary considerably within and across countries.

This report synthesises the OECD’s analytical work on the role of socio-emotional skills and proposes strategies to develop them. It analyses the effects of skills on various measures of individual well-being and social progress, which cover aspects of our lives as diverse as education, labour market outcomes, health, family life, civic engagement and life satisfaction. The report discusses how policy makers, schools and families facilitate the development of socio-emotional skills through intervention programmes, teaching and parenting practices. Not only does the publication identify promising avenues to boost socioemotional skills, it also shows that these skills can be measured meaningfully within cultural and linguistic boundaries. Contents: 1. The role of education and skills in today’s world 2. Learning contexts, skills and social progress: A conceptual framework 3. Skills that foster lifetime success 4. Learning contexts that drive skills formation 5. Policies, practices and assessments that enhance social and emotional skills 6. How to foster social and emotional skills?

Are there computers in the classroom? Does it matter? Students, Computers and Learning: Making the Connection examines how students’ access to and use of information and communication technology (ICT) devices have evolved in recent years, as well as how education systems and schools are integrating ICT into students’ learning experiences. Based on results from the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the report discusses differences in access to and use of ICT – what are collectively known as the “digital divide” – that are related to students’ socio-economic status, gender, geographic location, and school. The report highlights the importance of bolstering students’ ability to navigate through digital texts. It also examines the relationship among computer access in schools, computer use in classrooms, and performance in the PISA assessment. As the report makes clear, all students must first be equipped with basic literacy and numeracy skills to participate fully in the hyper-connected, digitised societies of the 21st century. Contents: 1. How students’ use of computers has evolved in recent years 2. Integrating information and communication technology in teaching and learning 3.

PISA The ABC of Gender Equality in Education Aptitude, Behaviour, Confidence Many countries have successfully closed gender gaps in learning outcomes. But even when boys and girls are equally proficient in mathematics and science, their attitudes towards learning and aspirations for their future are markedly different – a disparity with a significant impact on their decision to pursue further education and on their choice of career.
April 2015 180 pages, 16 x 23 cm ISBN 978-92-64-23002-6 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/97 89264229945-en €30 $42 £27 ¥3 900 Theme: Education Rights available in all languages except Arabic
The ABC of Gender Equality in Education: Aptitude, Behaviour, Confidence tries to determine why 15-year-old boys are more likely than girls, on average, to be overall low achievers, and why high-performing 15-year-old girls underachieve in mathematics, science and problem solving compared to highachieving boys. As the evidence in the report makes clear, gender disparities in school performance stem from students’ attitudes towards learning and their behaviour in school, from how they choose to spend their leisure time, and from the confidence they have – or do not have – in their own abilities as students. Data covers all OECD countries along with Albania, Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malaysia, Montenegro, Peru, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, Uruguay and Viet Nam.

From Evidence to Practice in Mental Health and Work The costs of mental ill-health for individuals, employers and society at large are enormous. Mental illness causes a significant loss of potential labour supply, high rates of unemployment, and a high incidence of sickness absence and reduced productivity at work. Following an introductory report (Sick on the Job: Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work) and nine country reports, this final synthesis report summarizes the findings from the participating countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom) and makes the case for a stronger policy response.

The gap between rich and poor keeps widening. Growth, if any, has disproportionally benefited higher income groups while lower income households have been left behind. This long-run increase in income inequality raises not only social and political concerns, but also economic ones. Inequality tends to drag down GDP growth, due to the rising distance of the lower 40% from the rest of society. Lower income people have been prevented from realising their human capital potential, which is bad for the economy as a whole. This book highlights the key areas where inequalities are created and where new policies are required, including: the consequences of current consolidation policies; structural labour market changes with rising nonstandard work and job polarization; persisting gender gaps; the challenge of high wealth concentration; and the role for redistribution policies. Contents: 1. Overview of inequality trends, key findings and policy directions 2. The impact of income inequality on economic growth 3. Income inequalities during the crisis and fiscal consolidation 4. Non-standard work, job polarisation and inequality 5. Women, work and income inequality 6.

Taxing Energy Use 2015 OECD and Selected Partner Economies Energy is a critical input factor in the production and consumption patterns that support economic and social wellbeing. However, many forms of energy use contribute to the environmental and climate challenges societies face today. To limit environmental impact, governments can influence energy use through the key tool of taxation. This report provides a systematic analysis of the structure and level of energy taxes in OECD countries and selected other countries, which together cover 80% of global energy use.

This report builds on the 2013 edition of Taxing Energy Use, expanding the geographic coverage of the 2013 data set to include Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa. The report describes energy use, taxation and pricing in these countries and presents detailed graphical profiles of the structure of energy use and taxation for each. The analysis reveals large differences in the taxation of energy across countries, although common patterns emerge. Transport taxes are considerably higher than in other sectors, where fuels that cause considerable harm for the environment and human health are often taxed at very low – or zero – rates. With few exceptions, countries' energy taxes do not harness the full power of taxes to reduce pollution and combat climate change. Contents: Part I.

Given the strong indirect effects of climate change across sectors and economies, an integrated sectoral and regional analysis is used to shed light on the macroeconomic consequences of climate change. The analysis shows that while the impacts of climate change spread across all sectors and all regions, the largest negative consequences are projected to affect the health and agricultural sectors, with damages especially strong in Africa and Asia. Early policy action is warranted to avoid the lock-in of extensive damages in the short and medium term, and high risks of crossing tipping points. Governments should align policies for adaptation and mitigation, and take sectoral damages into account, to avoid the largest negative consequences and find the most cost-effective means of confronting climate change.

OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project Theme: Taxation
www.oecd.org/tax/beps.htm
Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) refers to tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations, so that little or no overall corporate tax is paid. Developing countries, which rely heavily on corporate tax, suffer especially from the consequences.
Addressing BEPS is a key priority of governments around the globe. In July 2013, OECD and G20 countries, working together on an equal footing, adopted a 15-point Action Plan to restore the fairness and integrity of tax systems. Beyond securing revenues by realigning taxation with economic activities and value creation, the OECD/G20 BEPS Project aims to create a single set of consensus-based international tax rules to address BEPS, and hence to protect tax bases while offering increased certainty and predictability to taxpayers. A major goal of this work is to eliminate double non-taxation. However, governments must ensure that the new rules do not result in double taxation, unwarranted compliance burdens or restrictions to legitimate cross-border activity. In 2014, seven interim BEPS outputs were approved to serve as deliverables, but not finalised since they could be affected by decisions regarding the 2015 deliverables. The 2014 and 2015 deliverables will together form a coherent package, alongside a plan for follow-up work, that the G20 Finance Ministers will receive in October 2015.

Governing the City How do cities govern themselves as they grow bigger? The answer can shape the competitiveness and quality of life in those cities and depends on a number of factors, ranging from the country's institutional framework to the cities' specific socio-economic dynamics. This report presents a typology of metropolitan governance arrangements observed across OECD countries and offers guidance for cities seeking more effective co-ordination, with a closer look at two sectors that are strategic importance for urban growth: transport and spatial planning.

The Metropolitan Century Understanding Urbanisation and its Consequences
March 2015 128 pages, 21 x 28 cm ISBN 978-92-64-22872-6 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/97 89264228733-en €30 $42 £27 ¥3 900 Theme: Urban, Rural and Regional Development Rights available in all languages
The report provides an outline of recent and likely future urbanisation trends and discusses the consequences. The world is in the middle of an urbanisation process that will cause urbanisation rates to rise from low double-digit rates to more than 80% by the end of the century. The Metropolitan Century argues that this trend is both a great opportunity and a great challenge, as decisions taken today will affect the lifes of people for a long time to come. The report aims to explain why cities exist and what can make them prosperous and well-functioning. It also discusses whether cities are good for residents, for the countries they are located in and for the global environment. The report argues that cities exist and grow because they are a source of economic prosperity and offer amenities that benefit their residents. It concludes that the urbanisation process needs to be shaped by policy makers to ensure that all benefit from it. Contents: Introduction: The century of urbanisation 1. A short history of urbanisation 2. The secrets of successful cities 3. How cities affect citizens, countries and the environment 4. The cities of the 21st century
