Social economy, youth and employment

Las organizaciones de la Economía Social en España representaban en 2013 al 13% del empleo y el 12% del PIB (CEPES-España). Asimismo, el papel que desempeña la Economía Social ha sido puesto en relevancia por diversas instituciones y estudios, pues suponen un modelo de organizaciones que, entre otras cuestiones, promueven la creación de proyectos empresariales colectivos con una mayor sostenibilidad y potencialidad que los modelos de autoempleo individual. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo ello, hay pocos estudios académicos o informes sectoriales que analicen el empleo en este sector, principalmente en el caso del empleo juvenil. Este estudio pretende cubrir este espacio en la literatura a través del análisis de los escasos datos disponibles para evidenciar los números y características del empleo juvenil en este sector. Los resultados presentados evidencian que el peso del empleo juvenil en la Economía Social es superior al de la economía a nivel general.Organizations of the Social Economy in Spain accounted for 13% of employment and 12% of GDP in 2013, according to the Spanish Confederation fo Social Economy. Also, according to various institutions and studies, the role of Social Economy has become relevant due to they represent a model promoting the creation of collective business projects with greater sustainability and potential than models of individual self-employment. However, despite all this, there are few academic studies or sectoral reports analyzing employment in this sector, especially in the case of youth employment. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature analyzing the scared available data in order to show the numbers and characteristics of youth employment in this sector. Results show the weight of youth employment in the Social Economy is higher than the economy overall

International Expansion of Social Enterprises as a Catalyst for Scaling up Social Impact across Borders

Scaling social impact and solutions beyond the local context is argued to embody a key mechanism for social enterprises (SEs) to contribute to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and to generate welfare-enhancing systemic change. In light of this, this article explores the potential of SE international expansion as a catalyst for scaling social impact across borders. From our reading of the literature, we discern three major typologies of cross-border scaling: Control-based, altruism-based, and hybrid. Drawing on a multiple-case study of nine international SEs, we examine why and how SEs deploy these scaling strategies on an international scale; the challenges to maximize social impact across borders associated with each of the scaling strategies, and the resources and actions that SEs can mobilize to manage such challenges associated with international expansion. Contrary to conventional wisdom and mainstream theory depicting SEs as small-sized organizations that suffer from different limitations to expand beyond their traditional national boundaries, our findings illustrate how these organizations can successfully operate on an international scale and simultaneously generate financial, social, and environmental value

Prácticas mutualistas en la Economía Social y Solidaria

La Economía Social ha mostrado un crecimiento considerable desde tiempo atrás, principalmente su sector empresarial: cooperativas y mutualidades (Chaves y Monzón, 2012), y ha incorporado nuevos modelos organizativos (Empresas de Inserción, por ejemplo), así como otras realidades que añaden a la misma un punto de vista revisado. Este es el caso de la Economía Solidaria que con la realización en Zaragoza en Noviembre de 2014 del Primer Congreso Internacional de Economía Social y Solidaria, organizado por las propias entidades del sector y con más de 700 asistentes de España y del ámbito internacional, alcanzó un importante reconocimiento a la labor que el conjunto de experiencias identificadas con este movimiento venían haciendo. Aunque la Economía Social y Solidaria debe ser entendida como un conjunto, con los mismos principios y valores, la concepción explícita que incorpora la Economía Solidaria de la búsqueda de la transformación social y del planteamiento de alternativa económica como objetivo final de la actividad económica permite introducir cierto matiz de diferenciación con el sector de la Economía Social. En este sentido, Pérez de Mendiguren et al. (2009) plantean que la Economía Solidaria nace del tronco común de la Economía Social, y supone un intento de repensar las relaciones económicas desde unos parámetros diferentes

Invisibilización de comunidades locales tras metodologías de jerarquización y evaluación de atractivos. Caso de estudio: comunas de Pichidegua, Larmahue y Litueche, Región del Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins, Chile

Este artículo aborda la influencia de la aplicación de metodologías que jerarquizan y evalúan atractivos turísticos, comprendiendo su relación con preceptos ecoturísticos. Se esbozan aquellas debilidades de la metodología CIRCATUR-OEA, y sus ambiciosas variables para la realidad chilena, lo cual puede ser extrapolado a países en desarrollo, que no disponen de capacidades para convocar turistas internacionales, lo que generaría una invisibilización de las comunidades locales. Esto limita el desarrollo turístico de zonas rurales deprimidas económicamente, que ven al turismo como posibilidad para surgir y perpetuar su patrimonio cultural y natural, pero que producto de metodologíasobsoletas, no se adecúan a estándares internacionales.Para esto se aplicó la metodología CIRCATUR-OEA en 3 comunas de la VI Región, con la finalidad de evaluar las variables y resultados obtenidos de la jerarquización de atractivos. Por otro lado, se recopilaron otras propuestas metodológicas que permitiesen contrastar diferencias entre los resultados obtenidos. Así, se identificaron variables que son sobreevaluadas y que por ende, restan importancia a los recursos turísticos que no poseen visitación internacional (principal parámetro que analiza CIRCATUR-OEA), impidiendo que potenciales atractivos se den a conocer y sean reconocidos debido a sus bajos puntajes.Los resultados tras la aplicación de ambas metodologías son los siguientes: en el caso de CIRCATUR-OEA, existen catorce atractivos con jerarquía 0 (menor importancia), nueve atractivos con jerarquía 1, tres atractivos con jerarquía 2 y tres atractivos potenciales con jerarquía 3 (mayor importancia). Por otro lado, la metodología propuesta da un total de 0 atractivos con jerarquía I (menorimportancia), 13 atractivos con jerarquía II, 14 atractivos con jerarquía III y 2 atractivos con jerarquía IV (mayor importancia).Palabras clave: ecoturismo, comunidades locales, jerarquización, evaluación, atractivos turístico

Perceptions of an out-of-hospital physical exercise program among people with schizophrenia: CORTEX-SP study

23 p. : il. -- Bibliogr.: p. 15-22Schizophrenia affects 24 million people worldwide and it is the third most disabling health condition in terms of severity. Its course is unpredictable, and the symptoms vary depending on the person. The pharmacological treatment is associated with many side effects while physical exercise programs are considered an interesting and useful non-pharmacological resource in the prevention and treatment of the pathology. The objective of the present study was to analyze the perceptions of the CORTEX-SP study among people with schizophrenia. The study involved a total sample of 35 people, and open semi structured interviews were used to collect the data. The interviews were carried out before and after the program. Content analysis resulted in three main categories: intrapersonal, interpersonal and environmental factors. Results reveal that the symptoms of the illness, as well as the pharmacological treatment, are most of the times barriers when it comes to practicing physical activity. Participants gave great importance to interpersonal relationships, specially to the exercise specialist and at a lesser extent to relatives and health professionals. Although there were some differences in relation to the number of people and their characteristics, all agreed that the fact that the program was out-of-hospital, had been a great facilitator to participate in the program. Also, regarding the characteristics of the program, everyone seemed happy with the type of exercise realized and the environment created at the sessions. These findings are relevant for health and physical activity professionals, educators, sports organizations and policymakers for promoting this type of programs
