Socio-economic impact of the historic core of Entre Ríos cooperativism

Abstract

In the present work we examine the socio-economic impact of the Entrerriano Cooperativismo Histórico (NHCE) Historical Nucleus in the provincial economy, as well as certain basic characteristics (income generation and distribution, job creation and productive investment). It is a partial result of the survey of provincial scope derived from the Project SPU-UNER 689. The purpose was to know the weight of cooperativism and the resources and management capacities, and to identify common problems and potentialities of Entre Ríos cooperatives. It was executed in conjunction with  the Entre Ríos Cooperative and Mutual Promotion Institute and the entity Cooperativas Agropecuarias Federadas de Entre Ríos (CAFER), with the support of the National Institute of Associativism and Social Economy (INAES) and the Secretariat of University Policies of the national Government, through the Cooperativism and Social Economy Program.
