Super important and interesting! The Impact of the Cost-of-Living Crisis on European Households by Boris Chafwehé, Mattia Ricci, and Daniel Stöhlker "We study the impact of the recent cost-of-living crisis on European households using detailed data on individual consumption, income and wealth." "On average, the effect of inflation is regressive, with lower income households suffering the biggest losses. Among population subgroups, young individuals and households with mortgage debt are the biggest winners of the inflation surge, while older individuals with large nominal net savings positions are the main losers." https://lnkd.in/eugJ9V5N

As part of the EU-funded RES-POL programme we are launching a study of creative hubs in Ukraine. Our main task is to identify key challenges and opportunities for the development of the sector and inform policy proposals to support creative hubs and spaces in the future. Creative hubs are essential elements of the sound cultural and creative industries ecosystem that will contribute to the resilience and recovery of Ukraine. So far there were only a few initiatives and programmes supporting creative hubs in the country and our co-founders were involved in designing and delivering most of them. Using all our knowledge of the sector, we are excited to embark on the current study. It will be the first systemic effort in Ukraine to evaluate the state of the sector and offer necessary policy interventions. As part of the project, we will conduct: 🔎 20+ interviews with key stakeholders (including practitioners and policymakers); ✋ public discussion on the state of creative hubs in Ukraine; 💡 online survey to verify main findings of the study with the wider audience. If you have ideas on creative hubs we should involve in the project, please tag them in the comments. RES-POL Project - Developing Policies for Culture and Creative Industries in Ukraine is funded by the European Union and delivered by the PPV, the Economic Development Agency . The project supports the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine and four related agencies in elaborating the arts and culture, cultural heritage, media and creative industries related policies. #creativeindustries, #creativeukraine, #creativehubs

Are you a freelancer and have faced unfair treatment in your working environment? With approximately 27 million freelancers in the European Union, making up about 5% of the total workforce, we are a powerful community that deserves to be heard! Since 2014, the EU has implemented various policies affecting freelancers and SMEs, but many of us still lack basic civil rights. This is unacceptable! It’s time for us to stand together and demand that policymakers recognize the challenges we face. We must make our voices heard and advocate for the rights and protections every freelancer deserves. Join the movement for a better future for freelancers across Europe. 📢 Read the manifesto and add your name to the cause: https://lnkd.in/e-aMzPi  Together, we can create the change we need! #Freelancing #EFWeek #EuropeanFreelancersWeek #EFWeek2024 #manifesto
