A new study published by EY in collaboration with the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC), titled, “Cultural Times – The First Global Map of Cultural and Creative Industries” analysed 11 Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) sectors: advertising, architecture, books, gaming, movies, music; has for the first time quantified the global economic and social contribution of this important sector.
The study was released in December 2015 and found that the top three employers are visual arts ($6.73m), books ($3.67m) and music ($3.98m). In total, the creative industries contribute $2.25 trillion to the global economy, but the creators behind the boom are not properly compensated.
