ABSTRACT

In this study we address the main aspects shaping the profile of creative women in Spain. The creativity concept is based on Richard Florida's approach that takes into account the type of occupation in which women develop their work activities. From this occupational-based approach we define a list of creative jobs and characterize the types of these jobs in which creative women mainly carry out their activities. We have been able to observe over time that economic crisis has not significantly affected the group of creative women. Moreover, from a geographical dimension, empirical results show strong evidence for Florida's hypotheses on the relationships between presence of female creative class and variables such as tolerance, urbanity, amenities or innovation in Spanish regions. Our findings also suggest that most creative cities have greater income inequality. We finally estimate a logistic model by using microdata from the Labour Force Survey, which allows us to characterize the profile of creative women according to a series of socio-demographic and labour variables. We concluded that highly educated and Spanish women who are self-employer or working in services, as well as overtime, are more likely to have a creative occupation than the rest of female workforce.

摘要

在这项研究中，我们探讨了塑造西班牙创意女性形象的主要方面。创意概念基于 Richard Florida 的方法，该方法考虑了女性开展工作的职业类型。从这种基于职业的方法中，我们定义了一系列创意工作，并描述了创意女性主要从事这些工作的类型。随着时间的推移，我们已经能够观察到经济危机并没有对创意女性群体产生重大影响。此外，从地理维度来看，实证结果为佛罗里达州关于女性创意阶层的存在与西班牙地区的宽容、都市性、便利设施或创新等变量之间关系的假设提供了强有力的证据。我们的研究结果还表明，大多数创意城市的收入不平等程度更大。我们最终使用劳动力调查的微观数据估计了一个逻辑模型，这使我们能够根据一系列社会人口统计学和劳动力变量来描述创意女性的特征。我们得出的结论是，受过高等教育的西班牙女性自雇或从事服务业以及加班，比其他女性劳动力更有可能从事创造性职业。
