The 2023 OECD survey notes rapid growth in digital tools, accelerated e-commerce and remote work during the pandemic. Further productivity gains require better infrastructure and training.
The report recommends more resources for vocational education, workplace training and adult learning, developing digital skills and specialists. As ageing advances, upgrading existing workers becomes central to business and economic development.
The survey also covers fair competition and supply-chain links. Skills and business-environment reform together help firms adopt advanced technology, offer more sophisticated products and services and adapt to global markets.
