The experts will also tackle labour force challenges: productivity, availability and qualification.
Within the context of these challenges the issue of Latvia’s invitation to join the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) will also be brought up, with the aim of further examining whether or not Latvia has achieved true convergence with the developed economies as well as whether the country is prepared to fully benefit from the opportunities that are made available by the OECD.
