Social housing providers feature as important social economy actors across Europe. There is a variety of forms that social housing organisations can take, such as cooperatives, non-profit organisations and (semi)governmental organisations. Some of these housing organisations can be described with traditional ‘state’, ‘market’ or ‘civil society’ labels, but many correspond in fact to hybrid organisational forms, encompassing characteristics of state, market and civil society organisations. This group could be referred to as social enterprises.

Los problemas y necesidades sociales relacionados con la sanidad, la salud en general y las prestaciones sociales con que se encuentran las instituciones públicas actuales son de difícil resolución en el actual sistema de salud. Tampoco el sector privado se muestra como un eficaz colaborador para paliar las deficiencias o carencias del público a la hora de afrontar estos problemas. De ellos, tres se van sobredimensionando, a saber, los relativos a la salud, al desempleo y la cobertura de los servicios de protección social para toda la población.

The laws of some EU Member States (particularly Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain) have a more favorable taxation for some or all cooperatives than the limited liability companies. The existence of a privileged tax regime has been traditionally associated with the singular nature of capital and profit cooperative.

This project emanates from a CIDA Partnerships for Tomorrow Program II grant which funded a visit by myself and Annie McKitrick to Kyrgyzstan in December, 2008. The purpose of the trip was to introduce Social Economy concepts, including the notion of ‘fair trade’ to various sectors working to enhance community economic development in the country. Independence for Kyrgyzstan after the collapse of the Soviet Union brought severe poverty and economic collapse to rural areas as collective farms fell apart.
