We are currently conducting a survey to map the working conditions of artists. We are addressing you as a member of the target group and asking you to complete a short questionnaire that will take no more than 10 minutes. The results will be used in cooperation with representatives of the Ministry of Culture to prepare policy proposals aimed at improving the social and economic situation of cultural workers and to create educational materials on setting up a sole proprietorship, social protection, taxation, negotiating copyright fees, cross-border labor mobility, and more.
The survey is completely anonymous, and all responses will be processed in aggregate through statistical analysis. We appreciate your honest opinion. Please complete the questionnaire in one sitting – if you open it, you need to finish it, otherwise unfinished responses will be lost and you will have to start again. Data collection is carried out by the research agency STEM/MARK. You can complete the survey here.
