Part of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s remit is to keep watch on artists’ financial and social conditions and to monitor policy developments and the implementation of social security systems as they relate to artistic activity. One of the Committee’s principal tasks is to apply a gender equality perspective, which involves analysing the respective conditions of women and men as a special theme. The aim of the report, Artists’ Income from a Gender Equality Perspective, is to shed light on the current economic gender balance in the arts by analysing the income, assets and transfers of female and male practitioners. This material shows the number of women and men working professionally in the arts, their total earnings from employment and self-employment, the composition of their earned income and how it is distributed according to level of education, plus their income from capital, property and transfers.
