Cultural infrastructure and human resources

This subfield comprises indicators that refer to the institutional and financial support of culture, as well as the employment rates of specialized staff in cultural institutions. Infrastructure is important in any system. In this particular case, without adequate facilities (theatres, auditoriums, financing sources), cultural activities cannot take place. Consequently, both financing and human resources involved reflect the importance attributed to this identitarian and symbolic field.[read more]

Within this subfield we have selected a main indicator taken from the European system of indicators, which refers to government expenditure for recreation, culture and religion (% of GDP). The indicator is relevant because it shows the level of public expenditure for cultural institutions, which also reflects the importance attributed to this field by the state.

The secondary indicators refer to two relevant aspects for the importance of culture within society. The first aspect is synthesized by three indicators, and speaks about human resources in culture, by means of the following significant indicators: cultural employment by educational attainment level, and cultural employment, by activity. The second aspect, synthesized by means of three indicators, refers to the facilities and institutional support for the cultural field.


It is competence that makes the difference!
