Ce rapport sur le Canada analyse les principales barrières à l'emploi des jeunes et évalue la pertinence et l'efficacité des dispositifs existants pour faciliter la transition de l'école à l'emploi. Il présente également une série de recommandations.
Improving the performance of youth on the labour market is a crucial challenge in OECD countries facing persistent youth unemployment. As labour markets become more and more selective, a lack of relevant skills brings a higher risk of unemployment. Whatever the level of qualification, first experiences on the labour market have a profound influence on later working life.
This report on Canada contains a survey of the main barriers to employment for young people, an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to improve the transition from school to work, and a set of policy recommendations for further action by the public authorities and social partners.
Les impôts sur les salaires fournissent des données sans équivalent sur l’impôt sur le revenu versé par les salariés et sur les cotisations de sécurité sociales qui s’appliquent sur les salariés et les employeurs dans les pays de l'OCDE. Cette publication annuelle précise également quelles prestations sont payées en espèces aux familles. Les montants des impôts et des prestations y sont détaillés pour huit types de ménages représentatifs dont la composition et le niveau du salaire diffèrent. Les résultats mettent aussi en évidence la pression fiscale moyenne et marginale qui s'exerce sur les ménages disposant d'un ou de deux salaires, ainsi que les coûts de main-d'oeuvre pour les employeurs. L'édition de cette année inclut une Étude spéciale intitulée "Réformes fiscales et pressions fiscales 2000-2006".
"Job placement” has been the traditional goal of labour and employment policies, but this report argues otherwise. To stay competitive in a globalised economy, governments must also strive to enhance the skills of workers, increase their productivity and provide upward mobility to immigrants and the disadvantaged. This report provides valuable insights into how labour policies can be expanded to meet economic development and social cohesion goals, while also reconciling national and local concerns. Studies from seven OECD countries are presented (Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States), each analysing attempts to expand workforce development policies and bridge the gap between national and local initiatives. Included are various types of government/private sector partnerships in the United States, regional training in France and Australia’s efforts to customise policies to local needs. Based on the country studies, the report then makes specific recommendations and suggestions on how workforce development policies can be expanded and improved.
Taxing Wages provides unique information on income tax paid by workers and social security contributions levied on employees and their employers in OECD countries. In addition, this annual publication specifies family benefits paid as cash transfers. Amounts of taxes and benefits are detailed program by program, for eight household types which differ by income level and household composition. Results reported include the marginal and effective tax burden for one- and two-earner families, and total labour costs of employers. This year's issue includes a Special feature entitled "Tax reforms and tax burdens 2000-2006".
Improving the performance of youth on the labour market is a crucial challenge in OECD countries facing persistent youth unemployment. As labour markets become more and more selective, a lack of relevant skills brings a higher risk of unemployment. Whatever the level of qualification, first experiences on the labour market have a profound influence on later working life. Getting off to a good start facilitates integration and lays the foundation for a good career, while a failure can be difficult to make up.
OECD has launched a series of reports on the school-to-work transition process in sixteen countries including New Zealand. Each report contains a survey of the main barriers to employment for young people, an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to improve the transition from school-to-work, and a set of policy recommendations for further action by the public authorities and social partners.This report is based on the proceedings of a seminar and is published in English only. However, a French translation of the summary and main recommendations has been included in this volume.
Lancée en 1998, la dernière édition de cette série (auparavant intitulée Systèmes de prestations et incitations au travail) donne une description détaillée de l’ensemble des prestations en espèces accessibles aux personnes ayant un emploi et aux personnes sans emploi, et des impôts dont elles étaient passibles dans les pays de l'OCDE. Un chapitre spécial effectue des comparaisons par pays des coûts de garde d’enfant, et des incitations financières au travail pour les parents de jeunes enfants. En utilisant des modèles prestations-salaires de l’OCDE, le revenu total des ménages et ses composantes ont été calculés pour différentes catégories de familles et situations au regard de l’emploi. Les résultats obtenus permettent d’analyser les incitations financières au travail, à temps partiel ou à temps plein, et la mesure dans laquelle les prestations sociales préviennent l’apparition de la pauvreté monétaire pour ceux qui sont privés d’emploi. Ce volume présente des résultats pour 2005 et les années antérieures.
Établir un équilibre convenable entre vie familiale et vie professionnelle est un enjeu auquel tous les parents sont confrontés. Certaines personnes voudraient avoir des enfants, ou un plus grand nombre, mais ne voient pas comment concilier cette responsabilité et leur situation professionnelle. D’autres parents sont heureux du nombre d’enfants que compte la famille mais souhaiteraient travailler davantage. D’autres encore, comblés par leur situation familiale, aimeraient aussi parfois avoir des horaires de travail différents ou réduire leur temps de travail pour s’occuper davantage de leurs enfants. Ce rapport synthétise les résultats des treize volumes précédents et étend son étude à d’autres pays de l’OCDE. Il étudie les systèmes de fiscalité/prestations, les congés parentaux, les systèmes de garde d’enfants et les pratiques professionnelles en entreprise.
