Amendment No. 5 | Doc. 14401 | 09 October 2017

The activities of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2016-2017

Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development

Origin - 2017 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 11.3, replace the words "to concentrate on education and skills measures" with the following words:

"to invest in education, skills, training, youth employment and social services".

Explanatory note

States should not only promise support to the most disadvantaged households, but also financially enable equal opportunities for those who can least afford them. ‘Social services’ is a more appropriate term to describe early childcare and other pro-family policies highlighted in this paragraph.
