Examples of Social Economy Organizations Annie McKitrick and Ashley Hamilton-MacQuarrie

“The Social Economy consists of association-based economic initiatives founded on values of: Service to members of community rather than generating profits; Autonomous management (not government or market controlled); Democratic decision making; Primacy of persons and work over capital; Based on principles of participation, empowerment. The Social Economy includes: social assets (housing, childcare, etc), social enterprises including co-operatives, credit unions, equity and debt capital for community investment, social purpose businesses, community training and skills development, integrated social and economic planning and capacity building and community empowerment. The Social Economy is a continuum that goes from one end of totally voluntary organizations to the other end, where the economic activity (social enterprise) blurs the line with the private sector.” - Canadian Community Economic Development Network, 2005 What is the Social Economy?
