What changed
This law establishes the legal framework for the social economy in Aragon, covering cooperatives, labour companies, mutual societies, insertion enterprises, and special employment centres. It defines the principles of the social economy (prioritising people over capital, democratic governance, social solidarity), sets up a register of social economy entities, and creates a consultative body to advise the regional government on social economy policy.
Who is affected
Social economy entities operating in Aragon, including cooperatives, associations with economic activity, foundations, and enterprises of social insertion are directly regulated. Workers and people at risk of social exclusion benefit from the promotion of stable quality employment through these entities.
What to look out for
→ Social economy entities must register with the new regional registry and comply with the updated conditions for recognition as social economy organisations.
