The Experience of Developed Countries in the Sphere of Creative Economy

Abstract

Currently, the economic development of any country, as well as the well-being of its population, is determined by the level of knowledge, achievements of intellectual work, innovation, development of science, technology, and information systems. The relevance of the research is substantiated by the need to develop creative industries in Ukraine, which is possible if we study the experience of economically developed countries. The aim of the publication is studying the development features of the creative sectors of economy in the economically developed countries. An analysis of the development of creative economies in the Asia-Pacific, European and North American regions is carried out. It is defined that five key directions of activities are combined to ensure development of the creative sector in developed countries: development of trade unions and organizations; development of the potential of education system; encouraging the creation of business incubators, creative clusters and hubs; internationalization, and going beyond national economies. It is determined that the development of creative industries has a clearly expressed urbanization character. However, for rural areas, development of the creative economy is also important, given the potential and prospects of the synthesis of traditional and creative types of activity. It is determined that an important aspect of the development of creative economy in the European Union Member States has become the study and support of creative industries at the national level. A comparative assessment of the incomes of various spheres of the creative industry in the developed countries is carried out. On the basis of an analysis, the sectors that each individual country refers to as a creative economy are allocated. It is explained that the policy of developed countries is aimed at: clear definition of the boundaries of creative economy, related classification of economy sectors and types of economic activity; creation of typological groups in the statistical measurements of creative economy; identifying the directions and sources of financial and technical support for the sectors and sub-sectors of creative economy; implementation of various support programs at the State level.
