IMPLEMENTING STRUCTURAL
REFORMS WITH THE OECD: THE
ROLE OF EDUCATION AND SKILLS
IN PROMOTING INCLUSIVE GROWTH
Dirk Van Damme
Head, Innovation and Measuring Progress Division,
OECD/EDU
23 June 2014
• Hesitant global economic recovery, but
– Unemployment remains very high: >46 million
unemployed in OECD countries
– The crisis has reinforced increase in income
inequality: income of richest 10% is 9.5 times that
of poorest 10% (increase of 30% in 25 years)
Inclusive Growth: promoting inclusion
and boosting long-term growth
2
• Hesitant global economic recovery, but
– Inequality increases in many other domains as
well: employment, health, education, housing, not
only affecting overall quality of life, but also future
economic growth and social cohesion
• Multidimensionality of inclusive growth
• Economic growth is important, but not
sufficient for society’s progress if the growth
dividend is not shared in a fair way

• For social progress, the equitable distribution
is more important
– Equality of opportunity to education
– Equitable learning outcomes
– A well-balanced skills distribution

• National differences in connecting education
and skills distribution to social and economic
outcomes are huge
• Hence, policies play a powerful role and can
impact on each step in the process
• There is a lot of room for improvement
towards inclusive growth
