Service provision: Definition and trends

Abstract

This chapter defines the scope of the report, discusses megatrends affecting the delivery of services, and summarises current discussions on planning for service provision. It starts with this report’s definition of public services, the scope of the services considered and the territorial typologies used in the analysis. It then describes how depopulation, ageing and climate change are affecting the provision of services in OECD countries. Finally, the chapter discusses the relationship between costs and access to public services and outlines forward-looking strategies for service provision in the context of demographic change.
