— OECD ➡️ Better policies for better lives (@OECD) August 1, 2022
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
An international organization called the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) works to create better policies for better lives. Our objective is to create policies that promote equality, opportunity, prosperity, and overall well-being for everyone.
The COVID-19 crisis has been addressed by OECD professionals and opinion makers from all walks of life. Here the specialists discuss and create solutions for the present and the future.
As transportation limitations took hold following the first COVID-19 detentions in 2020, there was an unprecedented increase in remote work.
Furthermore, nearly one in two staff members worked remotely in Australia, France, and the UK. In Japan, where there wasn’t a national lockdown, it was closer to one in four.
However, the severity of remote work varies depending on the occupation, geography, industry, and company size. COVID-19 was not the beginning of the economy’s digital transformation.
The pandemic accelerated these trends, which also accelerated the change in working habits. Although digital technology passed the maximum stress test and passed, this revving paradigm shift has revealed new difficulties.
The difficulties included regulation, infrastructure, and access to information and skills. It has also shown how much of habitual prisoners we were and still are.
However, now that we have a glimpse of an alternative method of operation, we are more receptive to considering how to mold it.
