Framework Principles
Clear Comprehensive Framework is crucial to comparability
Should co-ordinate not conflict with other international frameworks.
Comprehensive - integrate a variety of aspects using multiple standards:– Industry/economic activity– Occupation– Product– Government expenditures– Consumer expenditures

Some Concerns
Secondary activity (industry/occupation) usually hidden
Culture industries not necessarily homogeneous, not well measured by sample surveys
Volunteers mostly invisible Culture not well served by most
standards.

The Economy of Culture in Europe (EC 2006)
“A strategic approach to the culture Sector needs to be informed by the development of appropriate statistical tools and indicators at both national and European levels. . . In Europe, in the framework of statistical systems currently implemented, the statistical categorisations are not adapted to cultural activities and occupations. In addition, data generally provided by national statistical institutes either do not offer the level of details required, or are not available at all.
Establish a strong quantitative evidence base for policy makers.

Importance of Measures Social Impact
Economic outcomes are not why most people become involved in culture and, therefore, economic indicators alone cannot be expected to provide exhaustive measures of the benefits cultural involvement brings to individuals and to the societies formed by these individuals.

Criteria for Measures
They must be measurable. That is to say that the underlying data required to produce the measure must be available or, if not presently available, there must be a practical methodology available to obtain the required data.
Comparisons at the international level must be meaningful, and of course, the measures must be truly comparable.
These comparisons should be useful to policy makers at the national level.

Clarity
Data gatherer must understand what data are needed.
Data provider must understand what data are being requested.
Both gatherer and provider must have the SAME understanding
