ABSTRACT

Research on work in the Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) often combines macro-level accounts of political economy with small-scale studies, often qualitative, of work in specific organisations and/or sectors. While rich in both the theory and qualitative detail of creative labour, and especially useful for the study of precarious and informal work, such studies cannot capture population movements within cultural employment over time, nor the factors associated with continuing employment. The Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset (ACLD) provides a unique opportunity to track a national sample of workers in a broad range of cultural occupations across two waves of the Australian census, 2006 and 2016. This provides an opportunity to consider the factors associated with both selection into, and continuity within, cultural production employment. The study of factors associated with primary employment in cultural occupations is significant, as such positions are a relatively privileged resource within a broader field characterised by temporary and informal work arrangements, including casual, contract and unpaid work, that are not captured in the Census. The question of who holds these positions is a question of social distribution. We examine the key factors such as gender, age, qualifications, geography and household dynamics, to compare their relative importance in determining the employment and continuity of work in the field of cultural production.

摘要

创意和文化产业 (CCI) 工作研究通常将政治经济学的宏观层面与特定组织和/或部门工作的小规模研究（通常是定性研究）结合起来。尽管创造性劳动的理论和定性细节都非常丰富，而且对研究不稳定和非正式工作特别有用，但此类研究无法捕捉随时间推移的文化就业中的人口流动，也无法捕捉与持续就业相关的因素。在澳大利亚人口普查数据集直缝焊管(ACLD) 提供了一个独特的机会来跟踪 2006 年和 2016 年两波澳大利亚人口普查中广泛文化职业的全国工人样本。这提供了一个机会来考虑与选择和连续性相关的因素、文化生产就业。对与文化职业主要就业相关的因素的研究意义重大，因为此类职位是更广泛的领域中的一种相对特权资源，其特点是临时和非正式工作安排，包括临时、合同和无偿工作，这些都没有包含在人口普查中。谁担任这些职位的问题是一个社会分配问题。我们检查关键因素，如性别、年龄、资格、地理和家庭动态，
