Abstract

The article analyzes the Swedish experience of state policy in the field of the music industry. The focus on Sweden is due to its effective state support for music initiatives, which contributes to the development of the creative sector, economic growth and cultural identity. Taking into account the active development of the music industry of Ukraine in recent years, we believe that studying the developments of the Swedish government will contribute to the development of the Ukrainian music sector. The main goal of the article is the analysis of the Swedish state policy in the field of the music industry, as well as the identification of effective mechanisms and tools that can be adapted for use in Ukraine. The study is aimed at identifying the key elements of support that ensure the sustainable development of the music industry.

The work emphasizes that the Swedish policy regarding the music industry is characterized by a comprehensive approach and covers all areas, starting from music education, ending with national music awards, festivals, creating tax incentives and providing grants to individual music industries. The functioning of the extensive state apparatus aimed at the support and development of the music industry is indicated. A number of political practices, which are being implemented in Sweden today and which would contribute to the development of industry in Ukraine, are given. This approach contributes to the fact that today the Swedish music industry is among the top 3 in the world.

The results of the study indicate that Sweden's experience in state support of the music industry is extremely valuable for Ukraine. The adaptation of Swedish models can help Ukraine create effective support mechanisms, contributing to the development of the cultural sector, increasing competitiveness and enriching the country's cultural life. It is necessary to develop strategic programs that take into account the specifics of the Ukrainian context, as well as to actively involve all interested parties in the process of supporting the music industry.
