Social Dimension 

Cultural practices and resources are key vehicles for the transmission, regeneration and reinterpretation of practices, values and norms of a particular society. This dimension aims to demonstrate how cultural practices and values impact on individual empowerment and integration, and orient perceptions and action.It also examines the impact on the collective level: societies with high social capital are characterized with strong bonds of solidarity between its members and an enabling environment for collective cooperation based on trust.

DIMENSION:

Participation in cultural activities

This sub-dimension measures levels of cultural participation in order to assess the degree of i) social engagement in cultural activities; ii) cultural freedom and rights; and iii) potential divisions or exclusions within a society. These two indicators are also useful for providing an overview of the diversity of cultural expressions (e.g. theatre or music) available within the country.

Economic Dimension 

Culture plays an important role in national economies: cultural and creative industries generate income and create employment. In 2007, cultural industries accounted for an estimated 3.4% of global GDP and were worth nearly US$1.6 trillion. By providing an outlet for creative expression, experimentation, and entrepreneurism, these industries foster the creative as well as the social capital of a country.They are therefore important for human, social and economic development of a country.

SUB-DIMENSION:

Added-value toGDP

Cultural and creative industries contribute to national GDP. This sub-dimension looks at the primary income of all those who carry out creativeactivities as well as of those with responsibility for producing symbolicproducts. By looking at the income and value added generated by culturalactivities, the indicator shows that these activities are part of a country’sproduction, help to generate income and sustain livelihoods of its inhabitants.

ISSUES: The Methodology uses ISIC Rev.4(4 digits), ISCO‐08 (4 digits) and CPC Rev.2 (5 digits). In Viet Nam, national systemof accounts only captures to 1 digit:culture is grouped together witheducation and healthcare.

ALTERNATIVE: Contribution of workers in thecultural sector to GDP positively correlatedwith their income generated fromemployment in culture.

METHODOLOGY1. Calculate total salary or average yearly salary per person working in cultural sector and that per person working in sectors other than agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and culture2. Calculate ratio of salary of those working in cultural sector against those working in sectors other than agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and culture (denoted as S)3. Calculate % of people working in cultural sector (denoted as Pc) and the percentage of people working in sectors other than agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and culture (denoted as Pnc)4. Contribution of cultural activities to GDP is calculated by the following formula: 

(S*Pc)/(S*Pc+Pnc).
