摘要

The paper explores the resilience of creative sectors within the European Union during two major crises: the 2008–2009 economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The resilience was assessed in a twofold approach, the resistance and the recovery. Covering the period from 2008 to 2022, the study examines 21 activities characterised by creativity as a fundamental dimension. In order to gain further insights, these activities were grouped into two categories: core creative and knowledge-intensive activities. The methodology, based on employment dynamics models, applied the engineering approach of resilience, developing an analysis of four correspondences between resistance and recovery, respectively slow/fast recovery and low/high resistance patterns. We first estimated the employment trends during the resistance and recovery phases of both crises, followed by a resilience assessment by activities and by countries. While creative sectors proved a higher overall resilience than the broader economy, their ability to resist and recover differed among sectors or crisis. Moreover, the study reveals the heterogeneous nature of creative labour market resilience across EU member states, depending of various sectoral characteristics. The findings highlight the need for a stronger empirical evidence-based approach to maximise the resilience and recovery potential of the creative sector.
