| ABSTRACT “Transnational reports indicate that Social Economy employees, on average, receive lower compensation, experience more precariousjobs, and face informal working conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to broaden the scope of social impact assessment beyond service beneficiaries, incorporating the impact on SE employees. Through ASSETS, technological advancements hold the potential to support SE progression, with platform cooperatives emerging asinfluential contributors committed to citizen involvement and improving members’ working conditions through collaborative governance. ASSETS employs a four-step strategy to explore SE’s impact on social inclusion, quality job provision, and sustainability: conducting research and case studies spanning regions both within and outside the European Union, improving evaluation tools through local integration and technological advancements, and creating a digital collaborative platform to engage stakeholders and enhance working conditions within SE.” |
