OECDが初の『技能アウトルック』を刊行するそうな

OECDの年次政策白書『アウトルック』といえば、『経済アウトルック』や『雇用アウトルック』が有名ですが、今年10月には初の『技能アウトルック』が刊行されるそうです。

What people know and what they do with what they know has a major impact on their life chances. This will be one of the key messages from the first edition of the OECD Skills Outlook, to be released 8 October. This edition, which will present the results from the first round of the Survey of Adult Skills, a product of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), will offer readers access to a rich source of data on adult proficiency in literacy, numeracy and problem-solving in technology-rich environments – the key information-processing skills that are invaluable in 21^st century economies – and in various “generic” skills, such as co-operation, communication, and organising one’s time.

These results, and results from future rounds of the survey, will inform much of the analysis contained in subsequent editions of the Outlook. The Outlook will build on the OECD’s extensive body of work in education and training, including findings from its Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), its policy reviews of vocational education and training, and its work on skills, particularly the OECD Skills Strategy – the integrated, cross-government framework developed to help countries understand more about how to invest in skills in ways that will transform lives and drive economies. The OECD Skills Outlook will show us where we are, where we need to be, and how to get there as fully engaged citizens in a global economy.

人々が知ってることや知ってることを用いてやることは、彼らの人生の機会に大きな影響を与える。これは、OECD『技能アウトルック』創刊号のキー･メッセージの一つである。・・・

世界的には技能というのが経済社会政策の鍵の一つになりつつあるのです。本ブログでも、OECDの技能戦略の動向については適宜紹介してきましたが、やはり元の資料に是非当たって欲しいと思います。
