A dimensão inclusiva das cooperativas em Portugal
Abstract
Due to their nature, namely the combination of social and economic objectives in favour of the general interest, as well as their ideology, social economy organisations, including cooperatives, are particularly suited to meet the guidelines of decent and inclusive work. This article illustrates, through of a case study, the inclusive role played by social solidarity cooperatives in Portugal. The in-depth analysis of a cooperative that is dedicated to the socio-professional integration of people in vulnerable situations, allowed us to understand the methodologies used to support them. We also identified challenges and strategies adopted to better achieve the integration of the supported people. We conclude that, despite the lack of a specific legal form to frame the work of cooperatives dedicated to the integration of people away from the regular labour market through productive activities, there are de facto practices.
