The results are presented in a database devoted specifically to the social status of the artist (legislation, social status and international standards). The aim is to provide a broad compilation of online information about the status of the artist in contemporary societies, notably about social security, employment and working conditions, trade union rights, tax status, retirement regimes, the international mobility of artists and sources of documentation available in this field. As could be expected, not all of this information is comparable. International Labour Organisation has also participated in the project.
