System of Cultural Information and Indicators
System of Cultural Information and Indicators 2003-2005
In 2004, IBGE established a partnership with the Ministry of Culture in order to develop a consistent and continuous basis of cultural-related information and to build cultural indicators to be applied to studies, researches and publications. Though these indicators, the institution is able to provide governmental and public institutions, besides society in general, with data for more specific studies. The result of this partnership was a study based on statistics of production (supply) of goods and services, household and government expenditure (demand), and characteristics of manpower in this sector (employment) produced by IBGE. In order to do so, data from seven databases produced by the institution, having as 2003 as the year of reference, have been used: Central Register of Enterprises, Annual Survey of Industry – Enterprise, Annual Survey of Trade, Annual Survey of Services, Consumer Expenditure Survey, Economic Statistics of Public Administration and National Household Sample Survey.
As a continuation to this project, IBGE now releases the results of the latest study conducted about the topic, focused on the period 2003-2005.
