Critics Review
“At SEWA, we strongly believe that organizing poor informal workers into their own cooperatives and micro-enterprises, strengthens their collective bargaining power and generates sustainable employment & livelihood opportunities, thereby reducing poverty. With the informal economy on the rise, this book is a welcome addition to the ongoing debates on the future of work for the informal and rural economies of the Global South as well as the flexibilizing workforce of the Global North”, Reema Nanavaty, Director, SEWA, India and member of the ILO Global Commission on the Future of Work
“Through work, we create value and in good work, we find dignity and meaning. This book is an outstanding guide to the wealth of practice around the world in which co-operative models of enterprise serve to make work a transformative experience.”, Ed Mayo, Secretary General, Co-operatives UK
