Title: Measuring cultural participation
Description: "This handbook is a resource for organisations interested in measuring cultural participation, as well as a tool for raising awareness among policymakers. To this end, Measuring Cultural Participation combines theoretical and practical aspects of methodology. This is a challenging undertaking - even more so considering the wide range of data available, research undertaken and the complexity involved in defining "cultural participation" for national statistics systems and policies across the world. This handbook is part of a series designed to facilitate the implementation of the 2009 UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS), which defined the standard definitions and framework for cultural statistics. By presenting current methodological and key topics related to the measurements of cultural domains, the handbooks can assist Member States to develop cultural statistics in their countries. In particular, this publication presents current trends in the measurement of cultural participation, based on the concepts and definitions of the UNESCO Framework."
