ABSTRACT International research has found that, while the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) have the potential to grow more quickly than the rest of the economy, the kinds of jobs created may be informal, or short-term contract work, characterised by long and erratic working hours, periods of no, or low, pay, lack of job security, and high stress. This study adds to the limited research on conditions of cultural employment in the global South. National employment data for South Africa is used to analyse particularly the participation of women and youth in cultural occupations. Results showed that CCIs provide employment for nearly 7% of the working population, about 35% of whom are youth. Youth who work in the cultural sector are more likely to be employed informally than those in non-cultural jobs, and a much lower proportion of young women are in cultural occupations than men.

文化产业是否为妇女和青年提供劳动力市场机会？全球南方案例研究

摘要 国际研究发现，虽然文化和创意产业 (CCI) 有可能比其他经济部门增长得更快，但所创造的工作类型可能是非正式的或短期合同工作，其特点是长期和不稳定的工作时间、无薪或低薪、缺乏工作保障和高压力。这项研究增加了对全球南方文化就业条件的有限研究。南非的国家就业数据尤其用于分析妇女和青年参与文化职业的情况。结果显示，CCI 为近 7% 的工作人口提供了就业机会，其中约 35% 是青年。在文化部门工作的青年比从事非文化工作的青年更有可能被非正式雇用，
