release

According to Statistics Finland, value added and employment in the field of culture decreased slightly in 2024. However, the share of culture in the value added of the whole national economy remained almost unchanged. At the same time, households' expenditure used on culture grew measured in euros, as a result of which the share of cultural expenditure of all consumption expenditure grew slightly.

The annual line chart shows the percentage share of value added and employment in culture and the percentage share of consumption expenditure used on culture in the whole economy starting from 2008. The trend has been falling in all these shares, except for 2021 when the share of value added rose slightly and in 2022 and 2023 when the share of employed persons went up somewhat. The fall in value added also continues in 2024, the level of consumption expenditure growing slightly in 2024, employment remaining in practice on level with the previous year in 2024.

  • The current priced value added of cultural industries decreased, while the current priced value added of the whole economy grew in 2024, whereby the share of culture in the value added of the whole economy decreased and was now 3.1 per cent.
  • The number of employed persons decreased both in cultural fields and in the whole economy, and the share of culture among employed persons remained on level with the previous year, at 2.9 per cent in 2024.
  • Consumption expenditure used on culture grew in relative terms more than consumption expenditure in total in 2024, so the share of cultural consumption grew slightly.
  • The national accounts have started using the COICOP2018 classification. As a result of the new classification, private consumption expenditure used on culture decreased slightly, in general by 0.1 percentage points per year.
