(ANSA) - PARIGI, 20 FEB - 'In an era of uncertainty, what tools can best be used to navigate future challenges?': this was the theme of the meeting at the Consulate General of Italy in Paris between senior OECD officials and around 100 Italian university students living in the French capital. Promoted by Consul General Jacopo Albergoni, in collaboration with the Permanent Representation of Italy to International Organizations and the Italian university student association UIS (United Italian Societies), the meeting, moderated by ANSA, allowed for an exchange on current issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), demographic aging, and the necessary adaptations of labor markets. "The role played by the OECD as a platform for multilateral cooperation and coordination is more important than ever," said OECD Deputy Secretary-General Fabrizia Lapecorella, addressing the hundred or so students welcomed at the Consulate. "Dialogue on economic policies and the definition of shared and internationally recognized standards," she added, "guide the policies of member countries and partners in navigating uncertainty." The initiative is part of the Italian Consulate in Paris's desire to support "young compatriots engaged in their path of growth and integration into the world of work, while promoting Italian know-how and Made in Italy and the role of Italians in Parisian international organizations." In France, "there are many young Italians and Italian speakers who study and embark on prestigious professional careers, thanks to their skills and a particularly appreciated approach to work," said Angelica Salvi Del Pero, Senior Advisor at the OECD and expert in Labor, Social Affairs, and Employment, illustrating the challenges associated with changes in the labor market.
