Cultural statistics / Eurostat

Public ISBD Titre : Cultural statistics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eurostat, Auteur Editeur : Luxembourg : Office des publications officielles des Communautés européennes Année de publication : 2007 Collection : pocketbooks Importance : 187 p Langues : Anglais Catégories : Culture ; Europe Mots-clés : statistiques  panorama Index. décimale : A.01. Ouvrages généraux de référence Note de contenu : e sociological changes triggered by the spread of the information society, coupled with the increasingly important and acknowledged role played by culture in social bonding, have created a need for a better understanding of the links between culture and social and economic development. For the first time Eurostat is publishing a pocketbook containing comparable data relating to culture already available within the European Statistical System, plus information from other sources (Unesco, Eurobarometer, etc.). is publication does not claim to be exhaustive. Owing to the lack of a robust definition of culture (or to an over-abundance of definitions), the pocketbook relies on the pragmatic definition generally agreed upon during the earlier work by the European Leadership Group (LEG). First, it was decided to restrict the field to activities recognised as cultural by everyMember State. For this reason, sports and tourism, for example, were excluded. Next, the field to culture was broken down into about sixty activities, cross-relating eight “domains” (artistic and monumental heritage, archives, libraries, books and press, visual arts, architecture, performing arts and audiovisual/ multimedia) with six “functions” (conservation, creation, production, dissemination, trade and training). e field of culture defined in this way does not equate to any particular economic sector and therefore is not covered by sectoral surveys. It includes activities in numerous areas of social and economic life, which are not always identifiable in economic classifications. As a result, statistics are missing for a number of activities which cannot be singled out and examined from national and European surveys or data collections. e approach adopted here is cross-cutting and thematic, drawing on existing data on employment, business, external trade, household cultural consumption, time use and cultural participation.Methodological notes and the classifications used to draw a distinction between cultural activities, occupations or goods are included at the end of this pocketbook. is initial snapshot of cultural statistics could be greatly developed and improved, first bymaking a sustained intellectual effort to define the field and, second, by applying more efficient assessment methods coupled, where possible, with better identification of cultural activities in the harmonised data collections and European surveys.

Cultural statistics / Eurostat

Public ISBD Titre : Cultural statistics : 2011 Edition Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eurostat, Auteur Editeur : Luxembourg : Office des publications officielles des Communautés européennes Année de publication : 2011 Collection : pocketbooks Importance : 245 p Langues : Anglais Catégories : Culture ; Europe Mots-clés : statistiques  panorama Index. décimale : A.01. Ouvrages généraux de référence Note de contenu : This second edition of the ‘Cultural statistics’ pocketbook is more than an update of the first edition published in 2007 as it introduces content from new data sources, mainly in the domain of cultural participation. This publication is based on the European framework for cultural statistics drawn up in 2000. The ESSnet-culture, a network of countries working together on methodological issues relating to cultural statistics, is currently developing an updated framework taking into account the 2009 UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics. The ESSnet will present the outcomes of its work in autumn 2011, with the aim of strengthening statistical knowledge on culture and the comparability of cultural data across the European Union. It should be mentioned that the new version of the classification of economic activities (NACE Rev.2), which was implemented recently in many European surveys, allows a better coverage of cultural sectors, although the level of detail in the collected data is not always sufficient for a clear picture of all cultural activities. However, data extractions for this pocketbook were carried out in 2010, and data releases introduced thereafter have not been taken into account (e.g. data by NACE Rev.2 in Structural Business Statistics). On the other hand, this publication includes data on cultural participation and private cultural expenditure, which were taken from surveys that are not foreseen to be repeated annually (i.e. their possible updating could be done only in some years). As in the previous edition, this pocketbook presents complementary information on cultural issues of a less statistical nature, but which can provide additional insight: information on cultural heritage has been included to fill the lack of harmonised data in this domain and data on the perception of culture have been taken from a Eurobarometer opinion poll. Statistics on culture cover many aspects of economic and social life. With the adoption of the Europe 2020 strategy, a policy approach that will help Europe find innovative solutions to current challenges, it is more than ever essential to underline the importance of culture in the European Union’s objective of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Against this background, cultural statistics can serve to support the growing interest of policy-makers in culture and its Cultural statistics : 2011 Edition [texte imprimé] / Eurostat, Auteur . - Luxembourg : Office des publications officielles des Communautés européennes, 2011 . - 245 p. - (pocketbooks) .
