  • Resum:

    It is no secret to note that cultural activities, in western and developed societies, constitute a sector of growing demand with strong implications on the quality of life of citizens, and increasingly, with a greater economic impact in terms of income and employment. Even cultural policy has become another dimension of development strategies. So in Ibero-America is generating a whole process of reflection on the importance of culture and so much cultural policies. Culture generates meaning and significance, and shapes identities. But so is welfare and wealth, and is a dynamizing activity of the economy. In addition, it has a key role in the endogenous development processes, based on the own potentialities of the nations and regions. From this point of view, the culture should not be linked only to the own dynamic markets, but also in a fundamental way, the development policies. Although they are not yet in any case differentiated sectors for accounting purposes (in terms of national accounts), some studies suggest that a generic definition of "culture and leisure" could already account for more than 3 or 4% of GDP in countries such as Spain.
