Encuesta relevará datos económicos del sector cultural en Uruguay

Uruguay has established a strategic collaboration between national cultural and statistical institutions to develop a survey aimed at measuring the economic activity of the cultural sector. This agreement seeks to collect essential data on cultural enterprises and institutions, enabling a comprehensive understanding of their impact across the entire national territory. The initiative is part of the development of a Cultural Satellite Account, a statistical system designed to quantify economic flows and the interconnections among various cultural expressions. By reconstructing this information after more than a decade, it provides a vital input for analyzing the sector’s reality and underpinning the design of more effective public policies. This process is crucial for open data, as it transforms culture into a quantifiable phenomenon accessible through open data. By integrating these results into national accounting, it demonstrates the social and economic return on cultural investment, promoting transparency and facilitating evidence-based decision-making using public statistical data.
