This groundbreaking study is the first to demonstrate that children thrive most when their families can secure meaningful employment that generates both economic gain and community cohesion. To fully leverage the Cultural Economy as an agent of economic and social opportunity, we must invest in cultural enterprise development.

Key strategies include:

• Increasing resources for and capacity of cultural entrepreneurs living in remote or marginalized communities.
• Implementing holistic community engagement strategies that foster community cohesion.
• Serving under-represented groups and women.
• Building cultural enterprise clusters and relevant market links.
• Implementing policies that support cultural enterprise success for diverse constituents.
