Modernising Social Services in Spain - Designing a New National Framework

Social services in Spain are confronted with a series of challenges, including growing demand due to population ageing, changing family models, rising inequality and labour market changes. Services are fragmented and, with multiple providers, lack reliable and comprehensive data. There is also a discontinuity between primary and specialised care. The decentralised model of competences generates complexity in management and financing of services. With the current governance and financing system, there are disparities in the type and quality of social services provided across the 17 Spanish Autonomous Communities and two autonomous cities. In addition, there is a lack of portability of benefits throughout the country. This report suggests ways to improve the legal context, move towards more universal services, strengthen quality, and move towards more evidence-based policies.

Examens de l'OCDE sur la coopération pour le développement : Espagne 2022

Le Comité d’aide au développement (CAD) de l’OCDE procède à des examens par les pairs de ses membres une fois tous les cinq ou six ans. Ces examens visent à améliorer la qualité et l’efficacité de leur coopération pour le développement, en mettant en évidence les bonnes pratiques et en recommandant des améliorations. Le Programme 2030 est au cœur de la politique extérieure et de coopération de l’Espagne. Cette dernière noue des alliances pour atteindre les Objectifs de développement durable, à l’échelle internationale et dans ses pays partenaires. L’Espagne est estimée pour son approche partenariale horizontale et inclusive et sa capacité à mobiliser l’expertise du secteur public pour acquérir et partager les connaissances. Alors que le pays s'engage dans une réforme de sa coopération pour le développement, cet examen formule des recommandations destinées à améliorer le pilotage stratégique, rationaliser le cadre administratif, renforcer les ressources humaines et déployer pleinement sa coopération financière.

Evolving Family Models in Spain - A New National Framework for Improved Support and Protection for Families

Spanish society values families and family life highly, but the way that families look and live has been changing drastically over the past decades. From being one of the countries with the highest fertility rates in Europe, Spain now has the lowest rate in the region and the legalisation of divorce and social acceptance of co-habitation has led to a decline in the traditional nuclear family model. At the same time, the share of mothers who are employed increased by more than 50% over the past two decades, though it remains below the OECD average. While family law has evolved quite strongly alongside these societal changes, family policy – i.e. the combination of benefits, services, tax breaks and leave arrangements that support family members in raising and providing care to minor children and other dependent persons – has undergone some changes but few major reforms. This report suggests ways to adapt Spain’s family policy to incorporate family diversity into the national policy framework, improve family well-being, reduce child poverty and make family life easier for all.

OECD Employment Outlook 2021: How does your country compare?

In some countries, employers used job retention programmes to cut hours while allowing workers to keep their pay and jobs; there, it is likely that the full impact of the pandemic is yet to be felt. In other countries, there have been unprecedented increases in unemployment, but many workers will return to their jobs (or to new ones) as economies re-open and activity picks up.
