EcPol Talks: Aida Caldera y Jorge Galindo

Aida Caldera, head of division in the OECD’s economics department, talks to Jorge Galindo, deputy director of EsadeEcPol, about the organization’s latest report analyzing the Spanish economy. They address its short-term resilience and how it contrasts with the worst medium- and long-term prospects, going in depth into its bottlenecks (productivity, debt) and how they condition the medium- and long-term prospects and radius of action. They pay special attention to the problems for the youngest segments of the Spanish economy, to whom the OECD report devotes an in-depth analysis in its second part, and explore possible reforms to build a more solid infrastructure of human capital (0-3 education, vocational training, the fight against school failure, among others) to align growth with equal opportunities.
