The UK creative industries are a significant economic contributor, with a 2022 overall contribution of £124.6 billion, more than 50% larger than in 2010. Despite this, the Conservative government's cuts target the creative sector, impacting education and access to opportunities.
Reports reveal alarming disparities in class representation in the creative sector, where six in ten arts and culture workers are from a middle-class background. Working-class individuals are significantly underrepresented, making up only 8.4% of media roles and 5.2% in the film industry.
