This document summarizes benchmarking research on the creative economy in rural Ontario communities. It examines the creative class, industries, and assets of 5 focus communities from 5 different regions of Ontario. The findings provide a framework for any rural community to assess their creative economy by comparing occupational data, talent, technology, and quality of life factors to peer regions. The methodology allows any community not specifically included to conduct a similar analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in their local creative economy.
Informal Sector and the Challenges of Development in South AfricaDr Lendy Spires
• After nearly two decades since the ending of apartheid colonialism, poverty, unemployment, inequality, and environmental degradation remain persistent problems
• In seeking to improve the quality of life for all its inhabitants, South Africa must also reduce poverty, create employment, and redress widening inequalities
• Both at national and provincial levels, policy development aims to enhance inclusive development
• 1950s and 1960s, modernisation theory made people to believe that traditional forms of work and production would disappear as a result of economic progress in developing countries
• Initially viewed as a site of simple and adapted technologies
• These technologies were viewed as responsible for the static nature of the informal sector
• Viewed as marginal in terms of place and contribution to the economy
• These observations do not apply uniformly in the informal sector
• The informal sector is linked to the formal economy
• Produces, distributes, and provides services to the formal economy
• The taxi industry which is mostly unregulated has close linkages with the formal vehicle companies, petrol and insurance industries
• The paper company Mondi owns 117 waste recycling centres in South Africa
• These centres are supplied by more than 300 waste collectors who are some of the most marginal workers in the informal economy
• Neither the public sector nor the private sector is able to provide enough jobs for the expanding labour force
• Informal sector is increasingly recognised as an alternative option to the growing unemployment, particularly among the youth and the poor
• Efforts to improve the performance of the sector should be seen in light of the potential contribution of informal sector to increasing the overall performance of the economy including its provincial and local productive economic capabilities
• Our emphasis is on the relative importance of the sector in the economy of South Africa
• Our contribution is on the policy logic and implications for evidence-base policy development and innovation
• Policy development and innovation can lead to improved performance of the informal sector particularly in the context of increasing need to reduce poverty and increase employment opportunities in South Africa
• Initially, studies of informal sector tended to be decontextualised
• Increased attention has been towards understanding the informal sector within its historical, geographical, political, and social context
• In the developed world, informal sector is often seen as a product and driver of advanced capitalism
• By contrast, in the developing world the largest part of informal sector tends to occur in the form of self- employment

Virtual worlds have potential benefits for education by allowing interactive learning across distances. However, students may get distracted or lack the needed equipment. Identity exploration through avatars could detract from learning. Future advances may address these issues and better support disabled students. While virtual worlds offer engaging resources, training is needed for effective use. A balance of virtual and real-world learning suits different learners.

Hidden Assets for Economic & Community Development" Spencer County, IndianaScott Hutcheson, Ph.D.
This document discusses how communities can leverage their "hidden" economic and community development assets.

It outlines how farmers markets can help accomplish planning priorities like managing sprawl, fostering community sustainability, attracting talent, and inspiring great urban design.

This document summarizes key points from a presentation on developing West Virginia's creative economy. It discusses that creative workers cluster in places with technology, talent, tolerance of diversity, and quality territory assets. West Virginia scores poorly on a creativity index compared to other regions. However, the concepts of the creative class can apply outside major urban centers by thinking big, looking big, and using a broad approach rather than focusing narrowly. The closing story highlights how a small Ontario town leveraged its creative assets through local food, art and digital industries.
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on developing West Virginia's creative economy. It discusses that creative workers cluster in places with technology, talent, tolerance for diversity, and quality territory assets. While West Virginia lags national averages on a "Creativity Index", some regions like Morgantown and Charleston perform better. Non-urban areas can also apply creative economy strategies by thinking big, looking big, and using a diverse "shotgun" approach rather than a narrow "rifle" one. The closing story highlights how a small Ontario town leveraged its creative assets.

48. Conclusions (!)
“The key to success in today’s creative economy is for each
region to understand its own strengths and weaknesses.
Commiserating by looking at the challenges other regions are
facing may be cathartic, and looking with envy at other
successful regions may be a palliative, but neither will help the
region succeed. Increasing regional prosperity for any region
requires a clear picture of the current situation and an
understanding of who is leaving the region, who is staying, and
who is moving in. By understanding and leveraging current
strengths, a region can improve its chance of success. It is only
by understanding its unique challenges and opportunities that
any region can advance.”

71. Outline
• The objective of this research is to examine the
creative economy in rural communities across Ontario
and produce a document that can then be used by
any community seeking to better understand how to
execute creative economy research and begin to
interpret results.
• We hope to contribute to the existing body of research
on the creative economy in rural communities and
assist in the transfer of that knowledge in an
accessible format to reach and better inform
communities interested in applying the concepts
themselves.
71
72. Selection of regions/benchmarking variables
•5 communities (CSDs) selected for analysis from 5 different regions of
Ontario
• The types of data examined will focus on the occupational structure of the
workforce and attempt to provide measures that characterize a community’s
creative and quality of life assets, including its levels of talent, technology.
72
73. Selection of regions/benchmarking variables
• Peer regions chosen based on population and location within the
economic regions
• The types of data presented depict the occupational structure of the
workforce and provide measures that characterize a community’s level
of creative assets, including its level of talent, technology and tolerance
• Benchmarking & Focus Communities are selected Census
Subdivisions with populations between 5,000 and 20,000
• Metro Ontario is defined as within a census metropolitan area
• Rural Ontario is defined as everything else

74. How are the findings applicable to all
communities? Where do they go from here? Why
does it mater?
• The description of the methodology and analytical work done
in the report will ensure that any community can reproduce the
analysis and benchmarking activities
• Will allow communities not only to gauge their own
performance in the creative economy, identifying strengths,
weaknesses and opportunities, but also to better understand
how their community fits within the larger context of the region
in which they exist
• Any region not included in this report can obtain information
about their region from Statistics Canada at the CSD level and
compare their results with the focus and benchmarking regions
reported here.
