No 316, OECD Social, Employment and Migration Working Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: Designing and implementing impactful education and skills policies is becoming increasingly challenging. Policymakers must navigate the consequences of the digital and green transitions, demographic pressures, and other global megatrends. Engaging with stakeholders enables policymakers to collect valuable insights on the real-world impacts of education and skills policies, and increase political legitimacy of ambitious reforms. However, there is a lack of practical, coherent overview of the range of potential engagement approaches and knowledge of existing practices across countries to learn from. This Working Paper aims to fill this gap by constructing a typology of stakeholder engagement approaches in education and skills policy. It also presents the results of a mapping exercise undertaken by the OECD, describing for the first time the range and key characteristics of stakeholder engagement bodies in education and skills policy in OECD member and accession countries, before outlining possible avenues for further research.
