Abstract

GOMEZ RODRIGUEZ, Dustin Tahisin; BARBOSA PEREZ, Ehyder Mario  and  MARTINEZ RAMIREZ, Carlos David. Brief description of the Employee Fund in Colombia. Podium [online]. 2023, n.43, pp.93-110. ISSN 2588-0969.  https://doi.org/10.31095/podium.2023.43.6.

The aim of the review article is to characterize employee funds as a form of solidarity economy organization that promotes cooperation among members. The methodology is divided into two stages. On the one hand, it is qualitative by means of the documentary review analysis technique, with a descriptive scope, through matrices that seek to identify divergences and convergences between the authors. Secondly, it is complemented by a quantitative approach, with search equations based on bibliometrics and descriptive statistics, for the period 2000-2022, using micro data from public institutions governing the solidarity economy in Colombia. The main conclusion is that employee funds contribute to improving the quality of life of their members, as well as strengthening the productive apparatus. However, the data indicate a gradual decrease in the number of these organizations.

Keywords : autonomy; self-management; cooperation; direct democracy; solidarity economy; equity; justice.
