Digital

The speed of the digital transformation is challenging the existing institutions we have for policy making. The OECD Going Digital project will give policy makers the new tools they need.

The OECD's new Going Digital Toolkit features interactive indicators, policy guidance and analysis to help realise the promises of digital transformation.

How can technology shape the future of work in a positive way? See how 16 citizens from around the world answer that question.

Reducing risks and increasing trust without inhibiting the opportunities offered by the digital economy is a key challenge.

Going digital brings more choice and greater convenience for consumers but also presents many new risks.

Open government data is a set of policies promoting transparency, accountability and value creation by making government data available to all.

Going digital: Shaping policies, improving lives

How can we realise the immense promises of digital technologies and data for growth and well-being? 

Going Digital: Shaping Policies, Improving Lives identifies seven policy dimensions that allow governments - together with firms, citizens and stakeholders - to shape digital transformation to improve lives. 

It also highlights key opportunities, challenges and policies related to each dimension, offers new insights, evidence and analysis, and provides recommendations for better policies in the digital age.

Measuring digital transformation

Sound measurement is crucial for evidence-based policy making, but existing metrics and measurement tools struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of the digital transformation.

Measuring the Digital Transformation: A Roadmap for the Future provides new insights into the state of the digital transformation by mapping indicators across a range of areas against current policy issues. In so doing, it identifies gaps in the current measurement framework and sets out a forward-looking roadmap. The goal is to expand the evidence base as a means to lay the ground for more robust growth and well-being policies in the digital era.

Online privacy

For decades the OECD has been playing an important role in promoting respect for privacy as a fundamental value and a condition for the free flow of personal data across borders.

The OECD's Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data are the cornerstone of OECD work on information security and privacy.

 

Bridging the digital gender divide

Unprecedented growth in connectivity has not been enjoyed by everyone equally. We need to take advantage of the digital transformation to ensure that it represents a leapfrog opportunity for women and a chance to build a more inclusive digital world.

Bridging the Digital Gender Divide: Include, Upskill, Innovate is a report by the OECD, working with the G20, to broaden the evidence base to better understand the position of women in the economy and society that is being transformed by digital technologies.
