Study on the social situation of art and cultural professionals 2018

The social situation of artists is often characterised by precarious and discontinuous employment situations, uncertain income prospects and a lack of social security. against this background, the federal ministry for arts, culture, the civil service and sport commissioned a study in 2018 on the social situation of art and cultural professionals. the centrepiece of the study is an update of the last survey from 2008. it provides up-to-date information on topics such as employment and income, social security, funding situations, training and education, mobility and networking as well as aspects of work-life-balance in the arts and cultural sector.
