This year’s update of our Young Workers Index shows that the OECD has continued to make progress on a number of key indicators of youth empowerment. Switzerland, Iceland and Germany continue to lead the OECD, taking the top positions on the index.

In this edition, we explore the implications of an increasingly automated workplace for young workers and discuss how governments and business can support them to succeed in an automated world.

In our analysis of the GDP gain from lowering NEET (not in education, employment or training) rates of young workers to German levels, we find that the OECD could experience a long-term gain of around $1.2 trillion.
