Conclusion to Migration, Mobility and the Creative Class

.

Chapter 7 in Migration, Mobility and the Creative Class, 2024, pp 163-174 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 7 provides an overview of the findings, discusses the similarities and differences emergent across the generations of creative workers, and highlights the book’s eight contributions to knowledge. Put simply, the vast majority of creative workers in our analysis of the creative class were white middle-class males, who had behind them a supportive structure formed of parents, wives, girlfriends, and extended family, who provided the social, cultural, and economic capital that gained them entry to an arts education, the design workplace, and a home to live in. Parents and partners took care of his children, freeing his time up for work. Far from being independent, we have the creative worker cradled in a network that allows him time to create.
