ILO COOP 100 Symposium
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of its Cooperatives Unit (COOP), the ILO brought together policy makers, researchers and practitioners working with cooperatives and the wider social and solidarity economy (SSE) for a two-day international symposium.
To mark the 100th anniversary of its Cooperatives Unit (COOP), the ILO held an international symposium on November 16-17, 2020. Held virtually, the symposium highlighted the contribution of cooperatives and the wider social and solidarity economy (SSE) in advancing social justice, decent work and the sustainable development agenda. It brought together policy makers, researchers and practitioners who reflected on historical perspectives, legal and policy frameworks, measurement, management, sustainability, platform economy and future of work issues among others.
