The Risks that Matter (RTM) Survey and programme of work is carried out in the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS), under the direction of Stefano Scarpetta, Director of the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs; Mark Pearson, Deputy Director of the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs; and Monika Queisser, Senior Counsellor and Head of Social Policy at the OECD. The RTM programme (http://oe.cd/rtm) is overseen by Valerie Frey, Senior Economist in ELS.
This report was written by Maja Gustafsson (lead author), Lyydia Alajääskö, Laurenz Baertsch and Valerie Frey. Lyydia Alajääskö, Laurenz Baertsch, and Sebastien Martin provided valuable statistical support at various stages of data collection and analysis.
Hanna Varkki led the publication process and layout design. Lucy Hulett was also instrumental in publication and dissemination. Eva Rauser, Nadia Sánchez Pacheco and Alastair Wood provided logistical, publication and communications support.
Drafts of the content benefitted from useful feedback from Delegates to the OECD Working Party on Social Policy and the OECD Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Committee, as well as Carlotta Balestra, Stéphane Carcillo, Andrea Garnero, Raphaela Hyee, Herwig Immervoll, Maxime Ladaique, Horacio Levy, Mark Pearson, Andrea Salvatori, Monika Queisser and Stefano Scarpetta. Participants at the April 2022 OECD workshop “Fearing the Future? Assessing risk perceptions, labour market changes and the future of social protection” provided constructive feedback on questionnaire content and design.
The project was principally supported by member countries’ voluntary financial contributions. Kings College London, the University of Stavanger, and the OECD Centre on Well-being, Inclusion, Sustainability and Equal Opportunity also supported subsections of the survey with financial contributions.
