Wellbeing measures not just a PR exercise - OECD

From Morning Report, 8:45 am on 26 June 2019

The government is putting itself in the 'firing line' by introducing wellbeing measurements, and it's not just a public relations exercise, according to the OECD's deputy secretary-general Ulrik Knudsen.

He has advised the Government to carefully monitor the impact of its boost to the minimum wage, and to join with other OECD members to push for new taxes on Google and Facebook - rather than doing it alone.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
