Elaboração do índice de desenvolvimento inclusivo para cooperativas solidárias (IDICS)

Abstract

In the contemporary context of productive restructuring, with transformation of labor relations and a strong tendency towards precariousness, the organization in cooperatives is established as a possibility for building more horizontal and supportive labor and production relations (Lima, 2004; Namorado, 2007; 2009). A major advantage of the cooperative organization is that the organization is controlled by the workers, who are responsible for defining the action strategies and the technical knowledge involved in the processes (Singer, 2002; Gaiger, 2013; Silva, 2020). In this sense, cooperatives are institutions with the potential to reduce social inequalities and promote intergenerational well-being, with gender inclusion and environmental sustainability (Schneider, 2015).
