Measuring skills and human capital in local economies

Workshop organised by the OECD LEED Programme

OECD Headquarters, 2 rue André Pascal, 75016 Paris, France

12th March 2010

 

The project
The OECD ‘Framework for Information Exchange in Local Development Project – FIELD’ project supports local development organisations in strengthening their information systems. It provides guidance on data collection, analysis and use in policy making, customised to conditions in each participating area.
It helps policy makers to build evidence on:
What makes your local economy work?
What drives it forward, what holds it back?
Where and how policy should intervene?
Is policy bringing results?
The project addresses the need faced by many local policy makers to determine in the vast amounts of national and local data and information some core indicators that can help link data to local drivers of growth and link policy to drivers.

The Seminar
In 2010 four thematic seminars will be organised at the OECD Headquarters in Paris gathering a selected group of international experts and practitioners from partner localities to review the existing data and identify sets of indicators that can be used by local development organisations to better measure performance and policy impacts in the following fields:
1. Measuring skills and human capital in local economies (12th March 2010)
2. Reducing unemployment, poverty and social exclusion (June 2010)
3. Fostering entrepreneurship culture, start-ups and self-employment (September 2010)
4. Supporting innovation (November 2010).

The objective of this first workshop is to to review the innovative tools and methods used, as part of local information systems, by local development organisations to:
i) measure skills supply, demand and utilisation in local economies
ii) identify policy needs, shape policies and programmes that can best address these needs
iii) understand if policies are bringing results

The themes addressed will be as follows:
Session 1 – Understanding the factors that influence skills
Session 2 – Choosing the right policy options
Session 3 – Measuring policy results Session 4 – Local skills indicators

Who?
Local and regional development organisations (officials responsible for design and implementation of development strategies, skills strategies, local labour market monitoring), international experts and OECD Secretariat (20 participants).

No participation fee is required.
Participants cover own travel and accommodation.
Places are limited.
