Second Global Report on “Cooperatives and Employment”
Summary
Employment is one of the most important contributions made by cooperatives throughout the world. Whilst taking into account initiatives and debates at the international level regarding the issues of the future of work and the changing world of work, the present report also aims at updating the 2014 study, “Cooperatives and employment: a Global Report”, by:
- providing an update on the quantitative information on cooperative employment at the global level;
- presenting propositions to develop conceptual tools aimed at producing reliable information on work and employment in cooperatives;
- examining the contribution of cooperatives to work and employment in informal employment and in the new forms of work.
