The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation located in Paris, comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.

 

The Well-Being, Inclusion, Sustainability and Equal Opportunity (WISE) Centre’s mission is to strengthen and advance the OECD’s work on well-being, sustainability and inclusion agendas. WISE is working to consolidate the OECD’s position as the leading international organisation in these areas, ensuring that these cross-cutting themes become more effectively institutionalised within the Organisation and that the OECD’s advice in these areas become more impactful. WISE works to devise policy solutions to the global challenges of inequalities, environmental depletion and climate change.

 

WISE is looking for a Young Associate to contribute to the Centre’s work that is examining questions such as\: How can policies improve the well-being of people today and tomorrow? What is needed to reduce inequalities? How can economies and societies thrive with a sense of purpose? Are we measuring the right things?

Based on this assessment, the project will then identify the most effective and efficient policy, legal and funding measures to prevent and reduce discrimination and promote equal treatment.
