The latest edition of the World Cooperative Monitor will be unveiled during a dedicated webinar on 1 December.
In its 11th edition, the Monitor collects robust economic, organisational, and social data about cooperatives worldwide. It is produced by the ICA with the scientific and technical support of the European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises (Euricse).
This year’s edition will be based on data collected in 2020. In addition to economic and employment data of the world’s top 300 cooperatives and mutuals, the 2022 edition will also feature a section on digitalisation in relation to the cooperative identity.
The launch webinar will not only explore the main findings of the report but also focus on how member democratic control (second cooperative principle) and consequent membership engagement can be enhanced through the use of digital tools.
The report presents rankings based on turnover as well as the ratio of turnover over gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. The 2021 edition of the Monitor showed that the world’s 300 largest cooperatives had a combined turnover of US$2.18tn in 2019, an increase from US$2.14tn in 2018.
