Pandemic and Precarity in the Cultural Sector - Institute of Welsh Affairs

Quick summary:

1. In order to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the cultural freelance workforce in Wales, and explore their recovery from the pandemic, Cultural Freelancers Wales partnered with Cardiff University's Creative Economy Unit to undertake a survey in 2021.

2. The Welsh Government, with its Cultural Recovery Fund for Freelancers, rose to the challenge of the pandemic retrenchment in the cultural sector (its net positive rating of +36% among freelancers in our survey was the only positive one among the main providers of pandemic support).

3. In contrast to the general perception of cultural activities being located in cities, about 41% of cultural freelancers in Wales are located in rural areas
