This was true for all the Member States. The highest proportions of cultural workers with tertiary education were found in Estonia (64%) and Belgium (63%), while the lowest were found in Malta (26%) and Portugal (28%).
Cultural employment seems less secure: 16% of cultural workers in the EU27 had temporary jobs compared to 13% for total employment. The shares of temporary jobs in cultural employment were highest in Spain (30%) and Slovenia (27%), while they were lowest in Bulgaria, Ireland and Romania (all 3%).
In the EU27 29% of cultural workers were non-employees i.e. employers or self-employed, compared with 14% in the total work force. In all Member States except Lithuania, Malta and Slovenia the share of non-employees was higher for cultural workers than in the economy as a whole.
The highest ratios of non-employees were found in Italy (53%), Greece and the Netherlands (both 35%), while the lowest were found in Lithuania (4%), Estonia and Slovenia (both 7%).
