5. 4 Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30
democracies work together to address the economic, social
and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is
also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help
governments respond to new developments and concerns,
such as corporate governance, the information economy
and the challenges of an ageing population. The
Organisation provides a setting where governments can
compare policy experiences, seek answers to common
problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate
domestic and international policies.
The OECD member countries are: Australia (1971), Austria (1961), Belgium
(1961), Canada (1961), Czech Republic (1995), Denmark (1961), Finland
(1969), France (1961), Germany (1961), Greece (1961), Hungary (1996),
Iceland (1961), Ireland (1961), Italy (1962), Japan (1964), Korea (1996),
Luxembourg (1961), Mexico (1994), Netherlands (1961), New Zealand
(1973), Norway (1961), Poland (1996), Portugal (1961), Slovak Republic
(2000), Spain (1961), Sweden (1961), Switzerland (1961), Turkey (1961),
United Kingdom (1961), United States (1961). The Commission of the
European Communities takes part in the work of the OECD.
OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the
Organisation’s statistics gathering and research on
economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the
conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its
members.
This work is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the
OECD. The opinions expressed and arguments employed herein do not
necessarily reflect the official views of the Organisation or of the
governments of its member countries.
