Audiovisual Diffusion of Modification of the State Social Economy Laws in Ecuador And Their Impact on Non-Financial Cooperatives

Abstract

Recent legal changes in Ecuador have impacted non-financial cooperatives, prompting a study on their potential effects. Rooted in solidarity and sustainability principles, Ecuador's social and solidarity economy draws from indigenous traditions and social movements. The study aims to assess legal modifications, evaluate their impact on cooperatives, and analyze their role in the broader social economy. Challenges arising from economic diversity and reliance on primary exports call for a more supportive and sustainable economic framework, with solidarity markets and intercultural economic circuits playing crucial roles. Despite challenges, embracing solidarity and sustainability can lead to a more equitable and resilient social economy in Ecuador.
