| dc.description | This project is squarely within the mandate of SERC 1 with respect to the role of the social economy in the provision of human services. The project also responds to the major strategic questions and analytical domains framing the work of BALTA. The research on the role of co-ops in the provision of social care addresses elements of all three strategic questions: 1) Outlining the scope and characteristics of an important emerging sector within the social economy, 2) Identifying social economy innovations that are achieving demonstrable results – specifically in the area of social care, and 3) Examining the key issues that present either opportunities or constraints for adapting co-op models in social care delivery in BC and Alberta. The research proposed for this project addresses in particular two of the four analytical domains: 1) Contributions of the social economy in reinserting the principles of reciprocity, solidarity, and sustainability into economic life, and 2) Adapting successful social economy innovations within the context of BC and Alberta. | en |

In recent years, there has been a major shift both in public policy and in public expectations concerning the roles and responsibilities of governments and the private sector with respect to the provision of social services. Canada is not different in this respect than many other western countries. One result of this shift has been increasing pressure on organizations within the social economy to redefine their own roles with regard to social care. The emergence of co-operative models for the delivery of social care has in large measure been a response to this change in government roles and public policy. In everything from health care to services for people with disabilities, co-ops have been created to respond to what many see as a failure of the public sector on the one hand, and a concern around the privatization of social care on the other. This project will ex... | en |
