What is the education system like in your country?   The latest edition of Education at a Glance focuses on equity in education, and includes indicators on:   ➡️ Education enrolment   Since 2016, the share of 18-24 year-olds not in employment, education or training has fallen to 14%.   This is driven by 18–24 year-olds staying in education longer and a robust labour market. However, skills mismatches remain a challenge. ➡️ Labour market outcomes The average private gains from completing tertiary education over a lifetime are USD 343 000 for a man and USD 292 700 for a woman.   Despite lower returns, young women are more likely to complete tertiary education. ➡️ Teacher working conditions   Teacher shortages exacerbate disparities in many education systems.   Yet, financial incentives alone are not enough to attract well-qualified and motivated teachers. Education at a Glance 2024 is the definitive guide to the state of education around the world, providing policymakers with evidence to improve the effectiveness of their education systems.   Read it now: oe.cd/5GF | #OECDEAG | OECD Education and Skills

Are multilateral organisations financially equipped to tackle global challenges like poverty and climate change? The share of total development aid provided by and channelled through multilateral organisations — including The World Bank , International Monetary Fund, and United Nations agencies — has increased over the past decade. It now surpasses aid provided purely bilaterally by donor countries, with a share of 61% in 2022 versus 45% in 2012. The broad reach and expertise of multilateral organisations make them indispensable for a collective response to global challenges like poverty, climate change, and conflicts. However, despite increasing financial commitments, many organisations have cut back on concessional finance, limiting their capacity to tackle poverty and support countries at risk of debt.
