Urgent action needed to support demand and boost job creation

10 July 2012 Paris, France - OECD 

Opening remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, for the launch of the 2012 Edition of the Employment Outlook

It is my great pleasure to present the 2012 edition of the OECD’s Employment Outlook. As growth slows and unemployment rises, this Employment Outlook could be a more valuable source for innovative policy strategies than ever before. It provides important insights into the key labour market challenges facing OECD countries and offers effective policy responses to address them.
