Boosting competitiveness and raising living standards

Content Provider OECD iLibrary
Organization OECD
Abstract Living standards in Ireland will remain high, despite the severe contraction, but stronger structural policies would encourage sustainable long-run growth. Hard times can be a good time to make overdue reforms and these would also help improve competitiveness. Policies are already favourable to competition in many respects, but market forces are weak in the network industries and parts of the services sector. Prices could be lowered by measures to increase competition. The infrastructure has been upgraded but more investment is needed, although plans in the short term need to adjust in light of budgetary constraints, and the efficiency of infrastructure use could be improved. Ireland has benefitted from past improvements in education. While performance is good, there is scope to improve educational outcomes. Pre-primary education and in-work training should ultimately be increased. Innovation spending has increased rapidly but from a low base. Achieving environmentally sustainable growth is a major challenge and it will be difficult for Ireland to meet its commitments to reducing carbon emissions. While environmental policy has improved, there are significant weaknesses in management of waste.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
