Cooperatives and the World of Work

Editat de Bruno Roelants, Hyungsik Eum, Simel Esim, Sonja Novkovic, Waltteri Katajamäki
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iul 2019
As the world of work and jobs is more uncertain than ever because of various trends impacting it, including the rise of robotics and the gig economy, Cooperatives and the World of Work furthers the debate on the future of work, sustainable development, and the social and solidarity economy of which cooperatives are a fundamental component.
Throughout the book, the authors, who are experts in their respective fields, do not limit themselves to praising the advantages of the cooperative model. Rather, they challenge the narrow understanding of cooperatives as a mere business model and raise debate on the more fundamental role that cooperatives play in responding to social changes and in changing society itself. The book is unique in tracing the historical connection between cooperatives and the world of work since the end of the First World War and the recent shifts and restructuring in enterprise and the workplace. It presents a redefinition of the very concept of work, focusing on organizational innovation.
This book is published in recognition of 100 years of the International Labour Organization, and gathers together research from leading experts who were brought together at an event co-hosted by the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Recenzii

"At SEWA, we strongly believe that organizing poor informal workers into their own cooperatives and micro-enterprises, strengthens their collective bargaining power and generates sustainable employment & livelihood opportunities, thereby reducing poverty. With the informal economy on the rise, this book is a welcome addition to the ongoing debates on the future of work for the informal and rural economies of the Global South as well as the flexibilizing workforce of the Global North", Reema Nanavaty, Director, SEWA, India and member of the ILO Global Commission on the Future of Work
"Through work, we create value and in good work, we find dignity and meaning. This book is an outstanding guide to the wealth of practice around the world in which co-operative models of enterprise serve to make work a transformative experience.", Ed Mayo, Secretary General, Co-operatives UK
