PISA for adults
Concerning the new statistics projects of the OECD, Martine Durand brings up the PISA for adults, or the so-called PIAAC study, the data collection which will also be initiated in Finland in autumn 2011.
"It measures the competencies of the adult population, and also how these skills are used in the labour market."
"Another significant programme is the one measuring the performance of higher education, or Higher Education Learning Outcomes. This programme aims to find out about the added value of universities for young people," says Durand.
In addition, work to develop entrepreneurship statistics is also ongoing.
"Everybody agrees that entrepreneurship is a source of growth and employment. But official statistics and registers often start with firms of more than 10 people. For the small firms, there are very few statistics. In this area, we are collaborating with Eurostat."
