Established in 1961 in Paris, the OECD provides a forum in which governments can work together to share
experiences and seek solutions to common problems. The OECD measures productivity and global flows of trade and
investment; it analyses and compares data to predict future trends. The OECD also sets international standards on a
wide range of things, from agriculture and tax to the safety of chemicals. In addition, the OECD looks at issues that
directly affect everyone’s daily life, like how much people pay in taxes and social security, how much leisure time they
can take, it also undertakes extensive work to identify how different countries’ school systems are readying their
young people for modern life.
