This OECD 2022 report, funded by the European Union, explores legal frameworks supporting the social and solidarity economy (SSE) globally. It examines how diverse laws help regulate SSE entities like cooperatives, social enterprises and associations, focusing on governance, financial support and public recognition. It highlights trends in SSE legislation, including frameworks aimed at enhancing social inclusion and sustainability. The report also provides criteria for evaluating these frameworks’ effectiveness and offers international examples for countries developing SSE-supportive policies.
