SSE: Digital equity
The world of work is undergoing major processes of change, and cooperation, through cooperative and other forms of social and solidarity economy enterprises, is emerging with viable and sustainable responses to these transformations.
17 January 2017
There are several forces transforming the world of work, from the onward march of technology and the impact of climate change to the changing character of demographics, production and employment. Cooperation, through cooperative enterprises and other forms of social and solidarity economy enterprises, is emerging with viable and sustainable responses to these changes from renewable energy and platform cooperatives to social care cooperatives and worker buy outs. It has a unique opportunity to make an impact, given the growing global quest for new forms of business and growth models.
