Cooperatives in Industry and Services urge EU Ministers for Employment and Social Affairs to invest in reindustrialization and active inclusion in Europe
Europe needs urgently to invest more in the reindustrialization of its countries and regions and in the active inclusion for all citizens, with specific attention to the most disadvantaged and its youth. Industrial and service cooperatives keep the European industrial heritage alive while innovating at the same time, provide quality and costeffective services of general interest while being democratically managed and owned by their employees or service users. They are a suitable solution for youth entrepreneurship, especially under the very serious and unprecedented youth unemployment rate which Europe is suffering. In order to maintain their productive and inclusive mission, they need adequate public policies.
