Within the framework of the XXI\nRegional Conference of Cooperatives of the Americas, the laboratory\n\u201cSustainable Development Goal Number 8, Cooperatives and decent work\u201d was\ncarried out, an activity developed within the framework of the partnership\n\u201cCooperatives in Development: Companies focused in\npeople, in action \u201d(# coops4dev), between the International Cooperative\nAlliance and the European Commission which aims to strengthen the cooperative\nmovement as an actor for development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the European Union and the United Nations Organization\nhave shown a deep interest in working in a convergent and interrelated way with\nthe cooperative sector, promoting the participation and training of the sector\nby opening spaces and giving voice to the sector to\ndemonstrate its solidity and guarantee a just transition, that nobody leaves\nbehind. The laboratory carried out on November 18, sought to relate SDG 8\n(decent work) and cooperatives, with the participation of more than 40\nparticipants from countries such as Mexico, Colombia\n, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay and\nPeru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the topics discussed was the axis of Cooperatives of\nself-management and environment, where Ivania Ayales, from Coopesolidar, Costa\nRica, who has experience in international\ncooperation, in agencies of the United Nations system, who highlighted on the\ncooperative model \u201cthat it is a consolidated model in the promotion of\nequality, decent work and in the implementation of sustainable practices for terrestrial and marine biodiversity \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sector Integration component, \u201cthe relationship between\nhousing and self-management cooperatives,\u201d was addressed by Carlos Mansilla, of\nthe Cooperative Confederation of the Argentine Republic – Cooperar, who has more than thirty years of experience within the\nhousing sector in Cooperativa Falucho Ltda. Which highlighted the importance of\nthe implementation of the 6th cooperative principle, \u201ccooperation between\ncooperatives\u201d presenting the Argentine experience of\narticulation between housing cooperatives and self-managed cooperatives. An\nintervention that emphasized the importance of cooperative integration and\nshowed an urgency in advancing the incidence for the generation of public\npolicies that favor cooperativism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dov Orian, representative of the\nNational Cooperative Confederation of Various Activities of the Mexican\nRepublic, spoke about \u201cthe future of work\u201d and the vertiginous changes that are\nbeing experienced within this historical conceptualization. Orian also addressed strategic issues on how to move towards a change in the\nparadigms, within a possible “Total Disruption”; highlighting changes\nin new technologies and internal and external human talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As agreements and recommendations of the attendees, it was\nagreed to continue and accentuate the work in the\nformation of cooperative values \u200b\u200bwithin formal education, enforcing national\nlaws; Likewise, it was mentioned that there will be no conditions to build\nelements for decent work if one does not work under a gender approach and cooperatives were encouraged to find spaces for\nthe generation of networks between labor cooperatives and other sectors of\ncooperativism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In view of the conclusions, the main task of cooperatives\nis to ensure that the necessary conditions are being\npropitiated to contribute to the generation of decent work, as well as the\nimportance of making visible the contributions that cooperativism makes for the\nfulfillment of the goals associated with SDG 8 in particular and the entire\nUnited Nations 2030 Agenda in general; Therefore,\nreporting through tools such as the Social Balance certification of\nCooperatives of the Americas is considered of great value for the measurement\nof these contributions and also \n\nreinforces the\nessence and cooperative identity.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
