Gender differences in European volunteer rates
The main goal of this research is to identify the reasons for gender differences in European volunteer rates in different types of voluntary organisations. To that end, we focus in volunteer rates at individual and national levels. We have drawn our data from the European Values Survey (EVS, 1999 and 2008). We have employed Logit models carrying out independent estimations for the individual likelihood of working as a volunteer for four categorie…
Multinational Expansion of Worker Cooperatives and Their Employment Practices: Markets, Institutions, and Politics in Mondragon
Drawing on qualitative research and longitudinal data on two Mondragon multinational cooperatives, the authors examine the multinational expansion of these co-ops and the diffusion of the cooperative model's employment practices to their subsidiaries in Brazil, China, Slovakia, France, and Poland. The results show that international expansion can radically transform the organizational architecture of co-ops and exacerbate dilemmas about how to pu…
Individual and Social Factors in Volunteering Participation Rates in Europe
The main goal of this article is to explore the role of individual sociodemographic characteristics and national social backgrounds in forming people’s decisions to engage in voluntary work. We have drawn data from the European Value Survey (1990, 1999, and 2008). We analyze voluntary work as an aggregate measure and also through four different categories. We have performed multilevel regression models taking into account a hierarchical structure…
Revisiting Globalization Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of Cooperatives
Cooperatives have gained prominent attention in recent years as strategic elements to achieve sustainable economic development and greater social cohesion in the context of neoliberal globalization. This article explores, theoretically, the current challenges and opportunities for cooperatives to develop successfully in the globalizing economy. To this end, we provide an analytical, critical review of the key bibliography concerning some fundamen…

The Wage Gap Between Cooperative and Capitalist Firms: Evidence From Spain
This paper analyses the differences between the wages received by workers in cooperative and capitalist firms in Spain using a sample constructed from administrative data. This paper shows that size and the sign of the wage gap depend on economic sector, type of cooperative and the wage distribution. This approach let us explain some contradictory results obtained in previous literature. Additionally, the wage gap decomposition used let us identi…
Voluntary Work in Europe: Comparative Analysis Among Countries and Welfare Systems
NGOs, corporate social responsibility, and social accountability: Inditex vs. Clean Clothes
Markets and businesses are undergoing major changes as globalisation deepens. Pressure from diverse social groups, both environmental and economic, is changing the operating environment. Many corporations are interested in devising social-responsibility strategies, both as a response to outside pressures and in their own interests. Against this background, this article considers the case of Inditex, a company based in Galicia, and the ‘harassment…
A household model of charitable contributions and tax incentives
The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical model of the monetary contributions made by households to nonprofit organizations, and to analyse the effect of tax incentives according to the different tax systems currently in force in the European Union Member States. This model is estimated by means of data drawn from the Family Expenditure Survey and the Regional Accounts in Spain covering the period 1990–91. We analyse the effects that diff…

Determinants of the Non‐profit Sector Size: An Empirical Analysis in Spain
The economic literature has proposed different explanations about the role and existence of the non‐profit organizations in the economy. These theories can be divided into two types: demand theories and supply theories. However, Ben‐Ner and Van Hoomissen (1991, 1992) suggested that, in some cases, demand and supply factors operate simultaneously and it is particularly difficult to separate them. Thus, it is necessary to consider these two factors…
Economía social, jóvenes y empleo
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 i…
