Abstract
Following the 2008 financial crisis and with persistent high unemployment in the EU, cooperatives had survival rates similar to or better than those of mainstream businesses. Cooperatives and social enterprises were also seen as potential sources of innovative solutions to socioeconomic challenges that have been identified as EU priorities: inclusive growth, aiding regional economic development, smart growth, addressing poverty and social exclusion, and creating sustainable growth. Based on an extensive literature review, analyses of available official data and case studies of cooperatives and social enterprises in England, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden, the study analyses the growth and development of cooperatives and social enterprises since the last financial crisis and their impact on work and employment.
