Statistical analysis of students' interest in creative professions in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Creative economy is one of the possible future directions of development of the economy. The authors conducted extensive research among students of secondary schools and universities in the country. The research was focused on the students' interest in creative professions. The authors used the classification of occupations according to Roe, which covers the entire spectrum of professions. The authors found that students often had elected a creative profession, but in addition to them, they were willing to work in completely uncreative jobs. One of the hypotheses tested was the relationship between parents' educational attainment and selected creative professions of their children. However, there was no statistically significant correlation.
