◎英國創意產業政策與證據中心發布一份報告建議，向來自工人階級背景的人，開放這些行業（包括音樂），還需要做更多的工作。
◎廣泛的研究發現持久的階級失衡。具有特權背景的人找到創意職業的可能性是後者的兩倍以上。他們在該行業的關鍵創意角色中佔據主導地位，塑造了舞台，版面和螢幕上的內容。
◎這項研究將人們分為三類：根據父母的工作經歷，來自“特權”背景，“中級”背景和“工人階級”背景的人。
◎音樂，表演和視覺藝術行業歸為一類，該報告稱，2019年在這些行業工作的人中有57％來自特權背景，有32％來自中級背景，只有12％來自工人階級背景。2019年的趨勢也令人擔憂，因為2014年，上述的百分比分別為：51％，31％和17％。

A report published by the UK’s Creative Industries Policy & Evidence Centre yesterday suggests that more needs to be done to open up these industries – music included – to people from working-class backgrounds.
“Echoing wider research, we find widespread and persistent class imbalances. Those from privileged backgrounds are more than twice as likely to land a job in a creative occupation,” explains its executive summary. “They dominate key creative roles in the sector, shaping what goes on stage, page and screen.”
The study divides people into three groups: people from ‘privileged’ backgrounds, ‘intermediate’ backgrounds and ‘working-class’ backgrounds, based on their parents’ employment history.
The music, performing and visual arts industries are grouped together in one category, with the report claiming that 57% of people working in these sectors in 2019 came from privileged backgrounds, 32% from intermediate backgrounds, and just 12% from working-class backgrounds.
Also concerning are the trends: in 2014 these percentages were 51%, 31% and 17% respectively. There’s much more in the report and this blog post from one of its authors, Heather Carey.
