“…The industry symbolizes these artisans' inherent creativity (Ghosal et al, 2020). In recent decades, the India's share of creative sector exports in the global economy has risen from 1.9% in 2003 to 5.5% in 2012 (Shaban & Vermeylen, 2015). However, though there is significant demand for Indian creative goods internationally, India's craft sector has yet to grow to its full potential because of the informal nature of the industry.…”

“…In India, most artisans and artists, who would otherwise flourish, are unemployed or underemployed and constitute a major section of the neo-poor (Shaban et al, 2022;Shaban & Vermeylen, 2015). India must tap its existing cultural assets for better economic achievements and to balance uneven growth.…”

“…Cultural heritage often embodies unique historical, cultural, political, or socioeconomic features that are visible landmarks of a local community or characteristic markers of a place (Kourtit & Nijkamp, 2019). Cultural industries are primarily a culture turned into a commodity for consumption, and many counties aim to develop their specific cultural brand in order to market products globally (Kockel, 2019;Shaban & Vermeylen, 2015). CCIs constitute about 7% of the world's gross domestic product (GDP), and their share in global trade is constantly growing.…”

“…Protection and maintenance of historical-cultural capital is nowadays a major challenge for urban development policy from both preservation and revenue-generating perspectives (Kourtit & Nijkamp, 2019). Moreover, the cultural sector is considered a potential sector for economic growth and employment creation, especially for developing economies (Shaban & Vermeylen, 2015). Many countries have used the creative economy as a tool to boost the economy and generate revenue for the population (Pratomo et al, 2021).…”

The creative economy has played a significant role in developed nations' economic growth in the past two decades. However, the creative economy is a new phenomenon for the Global South. It could be key for these countries' balanced regional development where typically more focus is given to heavy industries. For a country like India, creating a new policy framework that promotes this sector by modifying existing policies in order to bring flexibility and inclusiveness for future developments is a big challenge. There is a dire need for research into this sector to understand the issues related to labor, entrepreneurs, and the market. Moreover, the existing literature and empirical studies have limitations regarding explaining the factors affecting the wage determinants of workers in India's creative sector. This study highlights the critical component of creative industry workers and their wages based on primary data from the traditional embroidery (chikankari) industry in Lucknow, India. Quantile regression analysis has been used because the workers' wages are highly skewed towards lower and upper quantiles. The results show that the workers' age and education are significant at the lower quantile, while work experience and religion are highly significant at the ninety‐fifth quantile. Additionally, male workers earn significantly more than female workers.
