Artists and their working conditions. An approach to your situation in Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze both the employment situation and working conditions of artists in Mexico based on a historical and theoretical delimitation of the artist as a worker.
Methodology: It is an exploratory study which has allowed the main topics of discussion around artists in Mexico to surface. A review of specialized literature has been conducted and available statistical sources have been used.
Results and main findings: A historical-theoretical reconstruction of artists’ work has been done. Findings reveal that, in the case of Mexico, more than half of the artists are salaried, with precarious working conditions and low incomes; characteristics that are similar for self-employed workers. The level of education is high, but it does not correspond to the labor segments in which they find themselves.
Limitations: The first results of this investigation, which is in process, are presented so it is necessary to delve into each of the segments of artistic work based on the findings at this point.
