High and persistent unemployment remains a major economic and social problem for many OECD countries. There is also increasing concern about employment insecurity and in-work poverty in some countries. The OECD Jobs Strategy was endorsed by OECD Ministers in 1994 and provided a strategy to address the problem of high and persistent unemployment in OECD countries. The available empirical evidence reveals that the strategy's continued and comprehensive implementation leads to sustained lower unemployment and higher employment. This report reviews key issues in light of OECD Member countries' experience in implementing the strategy: (1) disparities in levels and trends of unemployment rates across countries; (2) the different levels of success in lowering unemployment between countries; (3) the difficulty that some groups in society, such as youth, older workers, and low-skilled workers, have in securing and sustaining decent work in many countries; and (4) the pros and cons of the increase in the number of temporary and part-time jobs. It highlights groups at the margin of the labour market and examines the policies required to better integrate them.
