Aging presents a key challenge, and the care sector is an emergent and strategic field, with considerable potential for job creation in response to rapidly growing social demands. As this sector expands, it necessitates a change in the model, which must be supported by community services. Here, the social economy has an opportunity for development. Traditionally, jobs in the care sector have typically involved outsourcing family care and have been characterized by low social value, job insecurity, and limited career prospects, which reduces the sector's attractiveness. In Asturias, the sector comprises highly feminized companies, where women confront both the constraints inherent in the sector, including its location in rural areas, and the typical gender disparities. The purpose of this study is to examine the position of social economy firms and entities in Asturias that offer care-related services from a global perspective enhanced by a gender viewpoint. To do this, a mixed, quantitative methodology is used, which characterizes the participation of Social Economy's companies in the services sector in the region, and a qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews and discussion groups were conducted with associations representing both care demand and supply, as well as experts in social services and innovation. The analysis results indicate that women play a crucial role in transitioning to the community model, and promoting actions is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The changes and diversity in the demographic profile of the Spanish workforce have sparked a great deal of interest, particularly in human resource management. Examining the intricate balance that individuals and organisations strike between family, gender, and work responsibilities becomes particularly crucial, especially in the context of families with children. The conflict between work and family may originate in either domain. Thus, the direction of the conflict becomes relevant at both a personal and organisational level, to understand whether work interferes with family (WFC), or family interferes with work (FWC). However, in social economy organisations these conflicts might be exhibited differently, given how these types of organisations tend to be more horizontal, social, feminine, and participative. This means that the conflict between family and work could be less harmful. With this in mind, our goal was to analyse whether children, based on their age, influence work-family conflict, and to assess any gender differences. Results revealed some differences regarding the age of children in the work-family and family-work conflict between women and men. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed throughout the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the entrepreneurial intentions of women in the Social Economy (SE) in Galicia, focusing on the key factors for closing the gender gap in entrepreneurship and developing business models that respond to women's needs and preferences. Based on data from the GEM-Galicia survey, it analyses the motivations, barriers, and specific dynamics of female entrepreneurship in the context of the SE. The study reveals a significant lack of knowledge of these organisational models, together with difficulties of financing and bureaucracy. The results highlight the urgent need to improve education and knowledge about SE among women and to implement supportive public policies tailored to their needs. In addition, the promotion of collaborative business models with social impact is suggested. Finally, it is concluded that specific policies, including appropriate counselling and training, can foster a more equitable environment and favour people-centred business development.

El artículo plantea el análisis comparado de las políticas de fomento y promoción de la Economía Social y Solidaria en Argentina, Brasil y Colombia. El período elegido para el análisis comprende desde el 2000 al 2015. Desde el análisis del cambio político y los arreglos institucionales que se generan ante el cambio político se ofrecen elementos de análisis y reflexión sobre los procesos que caracterizan las practicas estatales para el fomento de las organizaciones de la Economía Social y Solidaria basadas en la emergencia de la Economía Popular. Los procesos de instrumentalización y legitimación han generado la integración de políticas orientadas a la Economía Social Solidaria y Popular.

Con el objetivo de ampliar la información sobre fuentes estadísticas de Economía Social, este estudio realiza una aproximación a la Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales (MCVL) realizando dos análisis de contenido sobre las 13 publicaciones que, hasta la fecha, han utilizado la muestra para el estudio de la Economía Social. Como principales resultados, se destaca que la muestra se ha utilizado principalmente con el objetivo de resaltar aspectos diferenciales de la Economía Social, tratando de medir su impacto en la igualdad de género, la calidad del empleo, la cohesión social o la cohesión territorial. Además, se ha observado que los principales filtros utilizados han sido directos, identificando rápidamente personas empleadas en entidades de la Economía Social. Sin embargo, para una delimitación más exacta del ámbito de la Economía Social en la muestra, es necesario recurrir a filtros indirectos.

En los últimos años, la economía social ha experimentado un creciente reconocimiento a nivel europeo e internacional. Sin embargo, a pesar de los avances, persisten necesidades para desarrollar su potencial, especialmente en términos de aumentar su participación en los mercados. Para abordar este desafío, la Comisión Europea, a través de la adopción del Plan de Acción Europeo para la Economía Social (PAES) en 2021, ha propuesto fomentar la colaboración entre entidades de economía social y empresas tradicionales. Esta estrategia busca promover prácticas que integren a la economía social en las cadenas de suministro y valor a largo plazo de empresas tradicionales. Este artículo se centrará en examinar el acceso de las entidades de economía social a los mercados mediante alianzas con empresas convencionales. Con este propósito, se llevará a cabo un análisis del estado actual de estas relaciones, se identificarán las motivaciones principales que impulsan la colaboración entre estos actores, se explorarán prácticas ejemplares recientes, y finalmente, se evaluarán posibles riesgos o amenazas inherentes al establecimiento de estas alianzas.

The primary objective of this study is to define the circular activities introduced by social entities and analyse the related information disclosed to stakeholders through a double-focused methodology. The central circular activities introduced by these entities are ordered based on their relevance and are analysed to report the circular economy. This study's findings highlight this sector's leading role in training plans and its potential to provide new professional profiles related to the material loops closing and circular business models.

El presente artículo pretende abordar la noción de “respetabilidad” como una construcción social y, por tanto, comunicacional de las relaciones que establecen las trabajadoras de la Economía Social en San Luis. Tal categoría es puesta en diálogo a partir de la dimensión del silencio que integra la concepción de comunicación del sector, recuperada de un escrito anterior. El trabajo reúne una serie de consideraciones teórico-metodológicas sistematizadas en un trabajo de campo desarrollado entre los años 2013 y 2019 en la provincia de San Luis.

Esta investigación descriptiva-correlacional analiza el nivel de divulgación de información complementaria y adicional de las cooperativas de trabajo de Santa Fe (Argentina) en los estados financieros emitidos entre diciembre de 2020 y marzo de 2022, relacionándolo con los factores: tamaño, solvencia patrimonial, rendimiento económico y dependencia estatal. Presenta dos índices de revelación —obligatoria y voluntaria— sobre aspectos socioeconómicos que denotan presencia o ausencia de información. Describe la falta de información voluntaria y aplica un modelo de regresión sobre la información obligatoria, estableciendo como determinantes la dependencia estatal y el tamaño de acuerdo con las ventas. Concluye que, siendo los estados financieros una herramienta indispensable, el campo de indagación sigue abierto para incorporar técnicas cualitativas que permitan conocer otros factores según la opinión de preparadores, auditores y partes interesadas. Se espera que los resultados sirvan a la regulación contable, entendiendo que deberían evidenciarse los principios y valores de la economía social.

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo analisar sociologicamente como a economia social em Portugal estrutura as relações de trabalho. Definindo-se como centrada nas pessoas, e não no capital, a economia social reivindica um papel ativo na busca pela justiça social e pelo trabalho digno para todos, contribuindo para a democratização da economia. No entanto, a enorme diversidade de formas por meio das quais ela se apresenta exige uma análise mais detalhada das relações de trabalho em cada uma dessas formas, bem como uma atenção especial à diversidade dos contextos em que se desenvolveram. Por motivos pragmáticos, a análise se centra apenas nas organizações da economia social, e não nas da economia social e solidária, uma vez que, em relação às últimas, há muita informação, e elas representam um setor muito relevante na sociedade portuguesa, em razão de sua função, da capacidade de emprego e do dinamismo. A metodologia utilizada combina informações resultantes de estudos qualitativos com resultados de pesquisas com organizações. A conclusão revela um conjunto de dificuldades no reconhecimento de igual dignidade ao trabalho de associados e contratados. Isso se dá, de um lado, graças a um duplo processo de inclusão adversa das organizações na economia de mercado e sua institucionalização por meio de políticas de Estado; de outro, em razão de uma utilização excessiva e pouco dignificadora do trabalho assalariado no desempenho das tarefas das organizações, sem qualquer participação ou incentivo na sua gestão.

El presente trabajo realiza un estudio de la fiscalidad de las empresas sociales en España, reconocidas en nuestro ordenamiento como entidades de la economía social. De un lado, las cooperativas de iniciativa social y cooperativas de integración social, a las que nos referimos con el termino de cooperativas sociales y que, a pesar de ser consideradas cooperativas sin ánimo de lucro, no se les aplica el régimen fiscal especial de las entidades no lucrativas. Posteriormente, analizaremos la tributación de las entidades que sean calificadas como empresas de inserción y centros especiales del empleo, en especial los de interés social. Este análisis nos lleva a la conclusión de que en España no se ha utilizado la vía fiscal para promocionar la puesta en marcha de iniciativas sociales de este tipo por lo que se recomienda realizar determinadas reformas de la legislación fiscal estatal en esta materia y posibilitar una discriminación positiva de estas entidades por razón de la materia (labor social) y de la forma jurídica utilizada (empresas sociales y de la economía social).

El artículo examina como el Movimiento de Economía Social y Solidaria del Ecuador (MESSE) busca construir una sociedad basada en la solidaridad y la convivencia con la naturaleza, destacando las transformaciones sociales y los cambios legales en las regulaciones estatales de la economía social de Ecuador, centrándose en las cooperativas no financieras. Explora cómo el algoritmo K-Means puede mejorar las decisiones en sectores críticos como el transporte interprovincial. Analiza los principios de la economía solidaria y su alineación con las cooperativas. Se describe el uso de K-Means como metodología para segmentar clientes en transporte, con resultados detallados. Se analizan las implicaciones operativas y estratégicas, con énfasis en la adaptación de los servicios a los usuarios y en el potencial tecnológico para transformaciones económicas y sociales. El artículo proporciona una visión integral de cómo los cambios legislativos afectan la economía social en Ecuador, con un enfoque en las cooperativas y cómo el análisis de datos mejora la toma de decisiones en sectores clave como el transporte interprovincial.

El artículo parte de considerar la importancia que tienen las Rentas Mínimas de Inserción (RMI), como último eslabón dentro del sistema de protección social en la lucha frente a la pobreza. Se presenta un análisis de las RMI a partir de 22 entrevistas realizadas a personas beneficiarias de dicha prestación en tres Centros de Servicios Sociales de Andalucía. Frente a los trabajos existentes, la utilización para los análisis del software Iramuteq permite profundizar en la estructura semántica del discurso y en las temáticas más relevantes y elaborar una tipología mediante el recuento de palabras, a la vez que se complementa con los verbatims de las personas entrevistadas. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan una justificación permanente de la ayuda económica recibida, el “merecimiento” de la prestación de quiénes son los/las perceptoras que realmente la merecen y cuáles no, la familia como red de apoyo principal y las dificultades que tienen de acceso al mundo laboral en una sociedad digitalizada que les genera un nuevo factor de exclusión social. Desde un enfoque de género, se evidencia un marco cognitivo arraigado en donde las mujeres asumen el rol de cuidadora del hogar y la familia y los hombres el de la búsqueda de empleo. En situaciones de vulnerabilidad como las aquí analizadas, las mujeres son las que se implican activamente en la búsqueda de soluciones y en la elaboración de estrategias para la “supervivencia”.

This article presents the reconstruction and analysis of the territorial work of Cooperativa La Comunitaria in the rural town of Santa Isabel (province of La Pampa), and more precisely, the opening of a balanced feed plant and the creation of an alternative corn marketing circuit. From the perspective of local development, the aim is to analyze the results of La Comunitaria's intervention in the territory at a productive level and the degree of replicability this project can have in other rural territories. To do this, we will recover the historical-political background of La Comunitaria at the local level, we will investigate the articulations that the organization establishes with other actors and its power construction strategies. On the other hand, we will study the organizational and economic features and the experiences of participation in the productive project. This is a qualitative work, which includes field records (both in-person and virtual) and a transdisciplinary theoretical approach. It is expected to make a contribution to the field of studies of public policies linked to local development, the social economy, as well as rural studies in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La sostenibilidad económica es uno de los temas más analizados en los últimos años, aunque rara vez se pueden encontrar estudios sobre empresas sociales. En España, las empresas sociales abarcan diferentes tipos de empresas, entre las cuales encontramos los Centros Especiales de Empleo (CEEs). El objetivo de este artículo es analizar empíricamente si los CEEs son sostenibles económicamente, generando valor añadido para la economía de nuestro país. Para ello, se utiliza como medida de desempeño el Valor Añadido Económico (en inglés, Economic Value Added o EVA) y se compara con otra medida tradicional de desempeño, como es el resultado del ejercicio. Partiendo del total de la muestra de los CEEs existentes en España en el año 2022, y analizando su información económico-financiera durante los últimos cuatro años disponibles, los resultados obtenidos sugieren que los CEEs fueron capaces de generar valor y ser sostenibles económicamente, si bien los beneficios generados no fueron suficientes para cubrir el impacto de la pandemia -COVID-19. En este sentido, el endeudamiento de los CEEs mostró un impacto negativo en el beneficio económico y constituyó una variable significativa para explicar su sostenibilidad económica. Estos resultados justifican que estas entidades presten atención a la gestión de su financiación, evitando emplear recursos financieros con coste en proyectos de baja rentabilidad. En consecuencia, se plantean implicaciones prácticas y teóricas para todos aquellos terceros interesados en este tipo particular de empresas, y se proponen futuras líneas de investigación en este ámbito.

Entre los países del Sur global, Argentina enfrenta el desafío de desarrollarse mediante la internacionalización de su economía, basada en una matriz exportadora de productos primarios de origen agropecuario. Se advierten así desafíos para superar limitaciones al desarrollo, derivadas de exportaciones basadas en procesos de apropiación histórica del don gratuito de la naturaleza. Por ello, se analizan qué características empresariales pueden aportar una mejor performance exportadora con criterios de equidad. El enfoque configuracional, cubre un vacío existente en la literatura al evaluar cómo, diversas combinaciones de atributos empresariales explican el desempeño de una entidad en los mercados exteriores. Se utiliza el método de Análisis Comparativo Cualitativo (QCA) para estudiar el sector apícola argentino. Se realizó una encuesta en el año 2022 a entidades con personalidad jurídica que tributaron en la producción primaria apícola en Argentina. Se propone un análisis de conjuntos difusos a los fines de conocer las características de las firmas que inciden positivamente sobre el mayor grado de vinculación con los mercados externos evaluando dos modelos, que se diferencian entre sí a partir de observar si la exportación es directa o se encuentra mediada por terceros. Los resultados muestran que los siguientes factores influyen positivamente en una mayor internacionalización en el área de estudio: el tamaño de la entidad, las estrategias de integración vertical y el acceso a la financiación. Respecto a la figura jurídica de cooperativa, se observa para el modelo general una ocurrencia positiva; sin embargo, en el modelo de exportaciones directas la ocurrencia es negativa. Respecto a la incidencia de la orientación al mercado, en el modelo general se advierte una incidencia negativa sobre la performance exportadora, pero en el segundo modelo aparece una incidencia positiva. Por esto, la evidencia aporta elementos claves para comprender los desafíos de la internacionalización en el marco empresarial de la apicultura argentina y que seguro son de utilidad en la transferencia del conocimiento al sector.

The article discusses the relationship between social economy and sustainability, highlighting how the current economic model has generated negative impacts on the environment and social inequality. It is mentioned that social economy and sustainable development have emerged as alternative proposals to address these issues. The article focuses on social economy initiatives in rural organizations and highlights that these not only benefit the population but also nature, while questioning the current economic model. The concept of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are mentioned as international frameworks to promote environmental and social sustainability. The article presents the experience of the organization "Ecosta Yutu Cuii Sociedad de Solidaridad Social" on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico, which focuses on the conservation of natural resources and community development through sustainable projects. They have established links with government institutions, universities, and non-governmental organizations to promote the transition to agroecological practices. Although they have faced difficulties, they have managed to raise environmental awareness and improve food security in communities. [Extracted from the article]

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global priority in terms of commitment to the responsible development of society. This paper focuses on beekeeping as a strategic sector of the Argentine economy due to its important socio-economic and environmental impacts. The objective of this research is to analyze the practices of beekeeping entities in their alignment with the achievement of the SDGs (with a focus on SDGs 5, 8, 9, 12 and 17), paying special attention to the differential contribution of companies with cooperative formula. It focuses on actions related to work organization, production, innovation and market insertion. To this end, we used variable significance analysis for 2x2 matrices and multivariate factor analysis of multiple correspondences. The results obtained show that there is a positive alignment between the practices of beekeeping sector entities and SDG 5, SDG 12 and SDG 17, with a differential and positive trend for organizations with a cooperative formula. However, the results also show the future challenges faced by the sector, especially with regard to SDGs 8 and 9. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An important yet barely explored line of research lies in elucidating how to enhance the critical performativity of Critical Management Studies (CMS) from higher education institutions. To address this question, in this article we present a case study of the Social Economy Laboratory (LAB_ES), a space created at the University of Zaragoza for the university community to experiment with initiatives and projects organized around the principles and values of the Social Economy. Specifically, the article identifies and delves into three key lines of action to promote the critical performativity of CMS from higher education spaces: (i) raising awareness among the university community of the existence of alternative forms of organization and management that are more democratic, humanistic, emancipatory, and socially responsible; (ii) developing closer collaboration between the university community and other stakeholders to collectively generate relevant and useful knowledge for social transformation; and (iii) promoting the engagement of students in alternative organization and management projects. In a context of under-representation of the Social Economy in the official curricula and research structures of Spanish higher education institutions, the article also draws some practical implications aimed at promoting training, dissemination and consultancy on Social Economy from spaces created within the boundaries of the university, but organized outside its institutional and bureaucratic rigidity.

This article presents the results of a case study about the Red de Intercambios time bank in Valencia (Spain) in order to analyze the effects that this type of initiatives have on community strengthening. The data have been obtained from methodological triangulation. On the one hand, we have developed qualitative techniques such as participant observation and in-depth interviews with key agents. On the other hand, we have used also quantitative technique though the exploitation of databases to obtain the socio-structural profile of the time bank members. Finally, we have carried out a structured survey about self-perception of the time bank members in relation to their experience in participation within the time bank. The results show that the members coincide in valuing the time bank more for its quality as a space for social participation than as a mechanism for redistributing their own time. In short, it is concluded that time banks contribute to community empowerment as they provide a framework for the development of skills, reciprocity, mutual support and satisfaction of needs outside the market.

Este trabajo se propone comunicar el proceso de trabajo destinado a la elaboración de productos comunicacionales para la difusión y puesta en valor de experiencias de organizaciones sociales que se inscriben en el campo de la economía social, solidaria y popular de las ciudades medias. La producción –que requirió la conformación de un equipo de trabajo enmarcado en el desarrollo del Trabajo Final de Integración de la carrera de de Comunicación Social– asume dos desafíos. El primero, procura indagar en la historia de una organización mutual desde la voz de sus protagonistas para su comunicación en un medio público universitario: la Radio Universidad FM 90.1 de Unicen sede Olavarría. En segundo lugar, problematizar las potencialidades que presenta el documental radiofónico, un formato escasamente utilizado en la actualidad aunque valorado por una clara intencionalidad de construir un relato radiofónico con el protagonismo de la voz de los actores y actoras de la experiencias, priorizando sus historias y sus decires.

O direito à saúde é um direito fundamental, para o qual se impõe a existência de um sistema de saúde estruturado e regulado. Em Portugal, o Estado tem aumentado a interação com as entidades da economia social que prestam cuidados sociais de saúde, com destaque para as IPSS. Com este estudo pretende-se compreender a adequação da regulação prevista legalmente para as IPSS que disponibilizam respostas sociais na área da saúde e identificar a influência da regulação sobre os serviços disponibilizados por estas instituições. O estudo empírico foi desenvolvido através da metodologia qualitativa, envolvendo a análise de conteúdo às entrevistas realizadas a sete IPSS que operam na área da saúde em Portugal. A pesquisa realizada permitiu concluir que não existe uma adequação plena da regulação aplicável às IPSS que disponibilizam respostas sociais na área da saúde. A inadequação é especialmente evidenciada ao nível das comparticipações financeiras, que se revelam insuficientes, e que limitam a captação de recursos humanos, capacidade de atualização tecnológica e expansão da atividade.

El objetivo de este artículo es proponer un modelo de gestión para la creación de una cooperativa de guías de turismo en Costa Rica que les brinde una oportunidad de negocio colaborando en su desarrollo socioeconómico y laboral. La metodología recoge datos obtenidos de la aplicación de encuestas al gremio y de entrevistas a expertos en cooperativismo. Además, los resultados ofrecen un diagnóstico del guiado turístico y el tipo de cooperativa a formar acorde a sus intereses e intenciones participativas. Finalmente, el análisis recomienda que la propuesta conlleva beneficios para guías de turismo, sus familias, las comunidades y el turismo en el país.

Las mercaditas, son grupos de mujeres que se reúnen para vender e intercambiar productos en el espacio público como forma de protesta contra la violencia económica. Dado que no se trata de una manifestación con un pliego petitorio específico ni con demandas laborales definidas de antemano, es preciso saber qué sentido dan a la protesta y a la economía a partir del tipo de prácticas que llevan a cabo. Para ello se utilizan herramientas conceptuales de la economía feminista como la reproducción de la vida y el trabajo de cuidados para entender la crisis que atraviesan en el modelo neoliberal imperante. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar algunas estrategias de estos colectivos de mujeres para hacer frente a la precariedad que se incrementó de forma generalizada a partir de la pandemia del COVID-19. Los hallazgos arrojaron que a través de prácticas de reciprocidad como el trueque se formaron y consolidaron redes de apoyo mutuo sustentadas en el cuidado comunitario.

La aparición hace poco más de 10 años de diversas plataformas que permitían la gestión de alojamientos entre particulares supuso una revolución en el sector turístico. Los alojamientos turísticos han sufrido profundas transformaciones que han venido para quedarse. En los últimos años han surgido plataformas como Airbnb que han transformado la forma de gestionar alojamientos alternativos entre particulares. En un principio, estas plataformas se consideraban un ejemplo de la "economía colaborativa" que sitúan la dimensión social en una posición central en la economía. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, cada vez más agencias profesionales de gestión inmobiliaria también han comenzado a anunciar sus propiedades en la plataforma, poniendo así en cuestión el ideal original de consumo colaborativo entre iguales, así como noción complementaria al concepto de economía social. En este estudio analizamos el nivel de profesionalización de la oferta de Airbnb en 10 ciudades y regiones españolas, con el objetivo de ver si se cumplen o no los principios de la economía colaborativa. En particular, estudiamos cómo se estructura el sector que, en Airbnb, varía entre agentes profesionalizados con múltiples anuncios y propietarios privados de un único anuncio. Además, tenemos como objetivo medir si el efecto de la pandemia del COVID-19 ha afectado a esta estructura, si ha generado respuestas diferentes entre los agentes altamente profesionalizados o entre los propietarios privados de un único anuncio en Airbnb. Este trabajo también presenta un estudio en profundidad del caso de Madrid en el periodo 2016-2020.

Public policies to promote the social economy (Morandeira, 2013) have been progressively reformulated in the Basque Country over the last five years, moving from a centralized model based on direct economic aid to one that seeks to incorporate a more holistic, ecosystemic and local approach. In the path of the main studies that collect these regulatory changes at the state level (Chaves, 2019; Fajardo, 2019; Chaves et al., 2020), in this paper address the main changes detected in the implementation of public action in the Basque Country. In this new, more territorialized and ecosystemic scheme, to the implementation of all public policy tools, both soft and hard (Chaves, 2009), organizational elements are added that tend towards models based on the co-construction of public policies (Vaillancourt, 2008). A proposal for public intervention is presented in which a model is defined with measures in collaboration with social economy entities to TRANSFORM the local development framework, the so-called "transformative public intervention". Finally, based on this third intervention model proposal, "Hernani Burujabe" is presented as a pioneering experience in the Basque Country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To identify the role that the woman-tourism pairing has played in marketing and local development during the health contingency. Methodology: This is qualitative research of an exploratory-descriptive nature in which the population under study was selected by voluntary non-probabilistic sampling and the comprehensive analysis is based on the principles of the LEADER Rural Development Initiative. Results: Evidence is provided that, in the Local Action Groups associated with rural tourism, the disaggregation of economic activities allowed the areas that operated in a pandemic to meet the needs of those that did not open, thus generating a multifunctional benefit; In addition, the linkage and publicprivate collaboration through multisectoral alliances established in the initiatives of the development projects, contributed to the maintenance of ecotourism services and local commerce, 38% of women participated in decision-making and in the offer of tourist services, agricultural and agro-industrial products, handicrafts and typical dishes. Limitations: Given the sanitary measures established by the Mexican Secretary of Health, it was not possible to include all the women who participate in tourist activities in the Volcanoes Region. Conclusions: The implemented scalability strategies have strengthened the socioeconomic fabric in the region and promoted local development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The explosion of information and the open access movement have posed significant challenges in data management for laboratories and research groups. The Laboratory of Studies and Research in Social Economy (Laboratório de Estudos e Pesquisas em Economia Social - LEPES) at the University of São Paulo focuses on developing research and impact assessments of social policies in Brazil, generating a substantial amount of research data. However, storing this data on a server with restricted access has led to various issues, including difficulties in accessing data, lack of standardization, security concerns, and version management problems. To address these challenges, this work aims to propose a comprehensive data management solution for LEPES. The proposal encompasses multiple actions, such as education, expertise, curation, indexing, and data privacy, all integrated into an open repository for research data. The primary objective is to facilitate data storage and enable public access, promoting data sharing. The approach taken in this study is an applied research design that utilizes the case study as a method. Additionally, the study draws support from relevant bibliographical and documentary literature. The proposal's innovation lies in its meticulous alignment of data management principles within a laboratory that has a direct impact on Brazilian educational public policies. As for the results, the management group outlines the pathways they followed to ensure secure sharing of research data, while adhering to the existing legal framework. Furthermore, the proposed solution not only benefits LEPES but also offers valuable insights for other groups facing similar data management challenges. Overall, this research endeavours to create a robust and practical data management framework that facilitates safe data sharing, fosters collaboration, and contributes significantly to the advancement of social policy research in Brazil.

We live in a planet with finite resources and a limited availability of absorbing residues. Thus, Spain -as well as the rest of the countries-faces the inevitable challenge of moving towards a more circular and sustainable economy. The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the European Green Deal set this course. This is also the aim of the strategy 2030 Circular Spain. But, given the colossal dimension of this ecological transition, it is essential that the Spanish central Government seeks new -and unexplored- allies, such as the "social currencies", which are alternative economic experiences that try to stimulate the local economy and that can also effectively help to reduce the environmental footprint of their users. In this research we confirm that there are potential synergies between social currencies and the circular economy, but social currencies are not taken into account in the strategy 2030 Circular Spain. This situation is due to the lack of awareness about social currencies among the different public administrations, as well as the lack of social demand in favour of social currencies, the high heterogeneity of these currencies, the lack of coordination among them, and the lack of confidence of public administrations in alternative economical experiences.

This paper analyses the governance of territorial development, arguing that the social economy and cooperativism represent an effective way of managing these processes. A literature review is first carried out to identify the main variables characterising territorial governance. The synergies emerging between cooperativism and territorial development are then analysed, along with the role played by the social economy in responding to complex processes of territorial governance. Finally, the case study of Bonares, a municipality in Andalusia (Spain) that encourages territorial development by participating in a second-degree cooperative, will be studied. The paper concludes that the variables identified in the literature review as influencing the success of territorial governance processes are apparent in the cooperativist approach to governance in the municipality.

The economic repercussions of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic fabric have been very significant, and it is still to be expected that a large part of them will continue to have an impact for some time to come. Although the effects have so far been partially mitigated through counter-cyclical policies - especially direct aid lines and subsidies - the negative effects have spread throughout the productive fabric. The Social Economy has not been immune to this reality and has also been affected, although at the same time it has shown a significant capacity for resilience, in line with what has been observed in previous crises. The aim of this article is to analyse and assess the different actions that can be taken in relation to the Social Economy to promote a speedy economic recovery, both at a general level and in the particular case of the Autonomous Community of Galicia.

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether social innovation has taken root in the last two decades in the social economy sector of the Principality of Asturias (Spain) as a key enterprise development factor in the current post-crisis environment derived from successive financial, health and geopolitical crises. For this, it is conceptually defined, firstly, what is understood by social innovation and its basic dimensions, reflecting on the extent to which the social economy sector can be considered as socially innovative. After that, the methodology and the main results of a study carried out through a review of specialized literature and a qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews with a sample of 21 heads of social enterprise, institutions or corporate entities linked to the sector in Asturias are presented. These results show how, indeed, the principles of social innovation are beginning to be adopted by the sector, albeit in an incipient way as a consequence of different weaknesses associated with its degree of entrepreneurship, organizational structure and development strategy. The paper ends by suggesting a series of recommendations that could contribute to the promotion of the sector as a whole and of the enterprises that make it up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This article provides a bibliographic analysis and review of trends on the subject of social enterprises in developing countries. The number of publications per year, countries, authors, journals and universities are taken into account. Methodology: Bibliometric techniques and tools were used: R, Tree of Science and a network analysis, which classifies the consulted material into three sections with a similarity in the image of a tree; where the root corresponds to classic documents, the trunk to structural documents and the leaves to emerging sub areas or trends. Results: The outcomes show three sub areas highlighted for future research on social enterprises: development, evolution, limitations of social enterprises, obtaining financial resources, organizational form and corporate social responsibility.
