Ο τρίτος πυλώνας της κοινωνικής οικονομίας δημιουργίας νέων θέσεων εργασίας

Η κοινωνική οικονομία είναι αναγκαία συνθήκη στην εποχή μας για δυο βασικούς λόγους πρώτον¨: για αντιμετώπιση του κοινωνικού οικονομικού αποκλεισμού και της φτώχειας και δεύτερον: για τη διεύρυνση της απασχόλησης σε τομείς κοινωνικής ωφέλειας, οι οποίοι παρόλο που είναι ζωτικής σημασίας εγκαταλείπονται από τον ιδιωτικό τομέα λόγω έλλειψης κερδοφορίας. Αντίθετα στην κοινωνική οικονομία τα πράγματα που μπορούν να λειτουργούν χωρίς κέρδος, με κοινωφελείς σκοπούς με τις μη κερδοσκοπικές επιχειρήσεις και συνεταιρισμούς και έτσι η οικονομική δραστηριότητα μπορεί να διευρύνεται.

Νέο Ξεκίνημα για την Αττική, με μοχλό ανάπτυξης το ΕΣΠΑ 2021-2027

«Αλλάζουμε την Αττική και είμαστε έτοιμοι να αξιοποιήσουμε πόρους 1,6 δις ευρώ από το νέο ΕΣΠΑ 2021-2027, για να πετύχουμε το μεγάλο στόχο για βιώσιμη και δίκαιη ανάπτυξη στην Αττική. Δεν χάνουμε χρόνο και δεν θα αφήσουμε να πάει χαμένο, ούτε ένα ευρώ».

Υπό την προεδρία του Περιφερειάρχη Αττικής Γ. Πατούλη πραγματοποιείται αύριο Τρίτη 18 Οκτωβρίου η συνεδρίαση της 1^ης Επιτροπής Παρακολούθησης του Περιφερειακού Προγράμματος «ΑΤΤΙΚΗ» 2021-2027.

Η εκδήλωση, η οποία θα γίνει στο ξενοδοχείο Divani Caravel (Λεωφ. Βασιλέως Αλεξάνδρου 2), αίθουσα Olympia, έχει ώρα έναρξης στις 9:00 π.μ. και θα ολοκληρωθεί στη 01:00 μ.μ..

Στη συνέχεια, θα ακολουθήσει η συνεδρίαση της 6^ης Επιτροπής Παρακολούθησης του ΠΕΠ «ΑΤΤΙΚΗ» 2014-2020, στον ίδιο χώρο, από τις 14:00 έως τις 17:00.

Νέο Ξεκίνημα για την Αττική, με μοχλό ανάπτυξης το ΕΣΠΑ 2021-2027.

Με αφορμή την πρώτη συνεδρίαση των Επιτροπών Παρακολούθησης, ο Περιφερειάρχης Αττικής Γ. Πατούλης δήλωσε:

«Με αιχμή του δόρατος το ΕΣΠΑ, κάθε μέρα που περνά, αλλάζουμε την Αττική. Το ΠΕΠ Αττικής 2014-2020 παρουσιάζει σήμερα μια από τις καλύτερες επιδόσεις μεταξύ όλων των επιχειρησιακών προγραμμάτων της Ευρώπης.

Στο Λεκανοπέδιο βρίσκεται σε εξέλιξη ένα εκτεταμένο πρόγραμμα κατασκευής νέων έργων υποδομής και υλοποίησης μιας σειράς παρεμβάσεων με έντονο κοινωνικό πρόσημο, που απλώνονται σε όλους τους Δήμους του Λεκανοπεδίου. Εκτελούνται περίπου 2.000 έργα προϋπολογισμού 2 δις ευρώ, τα οποία χρηματοδοτούνται κυρίως από το ΕΣΠΑ.

Όμως δεν σταματάμε εδώ. Με σοβαρό σχεδιασμό, συνεργασίες και επίμονη διεκδίκηση, εξασφαλίσαμε μέσω του νέου ΕΣΠΑ 2021-2027 αύξηση πόρων κατά 54%, κάτι που μεταφράζεται σε 1.6 δις ευρώ διαθέσιμα, για σημαντικά έργα και παρεμβάσεις σε όλη την Αττική.

Το νέο ΕΣΠΑ για την περίοδο 2021-2027 χαρακτηρίζεται από πληθώρα καινοτόμων δράσεων στήριξης των επιχειρήσεων, της κοινωνίας και των πολιτών που μπορούν να οδηγήσουν την Αττική μας σε μια βιώσιμη, έξυπνη και δίκαιη ανάπτυξη.

The agri-food sector - livelihood and local self-sufficiency

Livelihood and local employment

The revitalization of Cooperatives

Socially supported agriculture

Supporting local self-sufficiency

The food sector is one of the three main sectors, on which the livelihood of the economically weak depends, in the most necessary goods needed for living. For many also, small agricultural crops and animal husbandry are a supplementary income, supporting the low-wage earners as well as offering additional jobs for the social needs.

For a significant part of society, the minimum wage is barely enough for basic needs and only covers survival, such as energy, food and housing, while it does not cover the needs for education and health. Thus, the participation of these citizens in agricultural or consumer cooperatives can provide additional income or even reduce the cost of living. In addition, it can create opportunities to boost local employment, where economies of scale are needed to benefit smallholder farmers. And this makes it necessary to promote the social economy in the agricultural sector in the form of productive and consumer cooperatives.

More generally, in Europe it is observed that there is a tendency for the revival of cooperatives. And as we emphasized in previous chapters the inactive resources both in the Local Government and in the small landowners. These conditions are challenging for the utilization of inactive resources through cooperatives.

The food crisis and the precision in agricultural products that threatens, among others, Europe, is an additional reason to consider local agro-food self-sufficiency as well as dealing with the effects of increased energy costs and the energy crisis affecting agricultural production.

The revitalization of Cooperatives and the viability of small producers

In Europe, the renaissance of cooperatives in the last decade is a remarkable event for economic trends. The number of cooperative enterprises that operate in Europe, having 123 million members and offering work to 5.4 million people. In fact, in countries such as Germany, Italy, France or Spain, appear to have relatively higher performance, while emerging more stable in periods of crisis.

These are mentioned, among other things, in an opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on "Cooperatives and restructuring", in which it is characteristically pointed out that "the evidence shows that in times of crisis cooperatives aremore durable and stable than other forms of business and are able to develop initiatives".

At an organizational institutional level there are over 3,800 large secondary producer associations that have been recognized by national authorities in 25 different member states. Germany, Spain, France and Italy are the four Member States with the most Producer Groups or Associations of Producer Groups. The Commission recognizes the positive effects of Producer Organizations in the primary sector.

More than 50% of recognized producer organizations operate in the fruit and vegetable sector (1,851). Over 100 recognized organisations, active in seven other sectors, milk and milk products (334), olive oil and table olives (254), wine (222), beef (210), cereals (177) and pork (101).

In the UK co-operatives are booming for everyone the sectors and it is typical that after 2009 the turnover them increased by 10% when the British economy contracted by 4.9%. In 2010 the cooperative sector continued to growing by 4.4% compared to growth rate on of the entire UK economy of its class 1.9%.

In Italy, employment in cooperatives increased by 3% in 2010, while total employment in the private sector saw a decline in class of 1%. The crisis in the field of social welfare has a resulting in the multiplication of the number of social cooperatives at a rapid pace. Cooperatives have a larger life expectancy. One third of the cooperatives established between 1970 and 1989 they still operate against one fourth in the case of other businesses.

In the case of Spain, which has been seriously affected by the crisis, the decrease in employment in 2008 and 2009 was of order of 4.5% in the cooperative sector compared to 8% in conventional ones businesses. The European Economic and Social Committee estimates that the cooperatives should be considered in all policies of the EU that contribute to smart, sustainable and inclusive development, noting at the same time that safeguarding is required equal conditions of competition between cooperatives and other forms businesses. He also emphasizes that the programs and funds that are foreseen for the upcoming fiscal period 2014-2020, should be useful tools to support themcooperatives.

Greece has a limited extent of cooperative activity in the context of the social economy. Only 0.4% of the total economy is the participation of agricultural cooperatives. However, there are several qualitatively good examples that show us that, where Cooperative entrepreneurship is properly implemented, it has a catalytic effect on local society and local employment.

To what do cooperatives owe their economic viability?

Cooperatives owe their resilience to the fact that they emphasize cooperative growth, not shareholder profits. That is why 40% of the profits are reinvested in the common cooperative "bank". The corresponding percentage in conventional businesses is only 5%. The majority of cooperatives are self-financing and do not rely on the state. Cooperatives appear where small and medium enterprises leave due to low profitability whereas cooperatives operate even with very low profit.

Given the conditions of low profitability in the agri-food sector, the only realistic way to achieve economies of scale is to massively increase the degree of cooperation within the cooperative organization, at all levels and in all ways.

Traditionally, we know that cooperatives have been a way of survival for small and medium-sized enterprises, pooling cash to buy raw materials and products at discounts, reducing their operating costs and maintaining common departments with economies of scale. In their development, however, many of them became normal joint-stock profit-making companies and were cut off from their original purpose. Of course, any form of entrepreneurship is acceptable and can contribute to the sustainable well-being of society, but it does not have the same social impact or the same social benefit to be sponsored by the state and the community.

First, the gradual shrinking and withdrawal of the welfare state which increases the needs of social solidarity.

And second is the growing technological unemployment.

When the state began to withdraw, private philanthropy tried to fill the gap by funding non-profit initiatives, but the funds available to communities were small compared to state revenues. Caught between an increased social burden but with reduced revenue to address critical community needs, nonprofits began to look for new business models that could match their primary mission and provide a supplemental source of income. income for the operation and expansion of their services.

The prospect of a paradigmatic model that can reduce marginal cost to near zero makes private enterprise less efficient because its survival depends on profit maximization. Cooperatives are therefore the only business model that will be able to work in a sector where the competitiveness of large monocultures has dramatically reduced the income of small farmers.

The key to small farms therefore lies in investing in social enterprises that do not aim at profit, but offer work and additional income to the local community and, on the other hand, reduced costs of social services.

With this approach we foresee a growing demand for social, energy and consumer cooperatives with the aim of reducing transaction costs and supplementing household incomes.

Socially supported agriculture

Organizational innovation in the agri-food sector is socially supported agriculture. The consortium of producers and consumers.

This means direct cooperation between an organized group of Consumers with one or more producers of food products, where the benefits and losses of Agricultural activities are shared jointly by producers and consumers without Commercial mediation. It is a more advanced stage of cooperation than producer cooperatives.

Organizational communication today between consumers and producers is facilitated by the internet.

"Community Supported Agriculture" was born in Europe and Japan in the 1960s and spread to America and Canada in the mid-90s today it is spreading throughout Europe.

"Socially Supported Agriculture" in process and design is similar to Contract Agriculture but differs in social goal. In Contract Agriculture, producers cooperate with large traders of agricultural products, while in Socially Supported Agriculture, small producers cooperate with consumers.

Today, these communities of Producers and Consumers in the agri-food sector, together with the energy communities are the catalysts for the development of the social economy.

But how does this cooperative relationship of consumer producers work in practice?

In essence, consumers become partners-shareholders in the production process in order to secure the products they consume from specific farms.

Consumers, usually living in cities, pay a fixed amount of money to cover the farmers' annual expenses. In return, they receive a share of the harvest. Typically, the share consists of a box of fruit and vegetables delivered to their doorstep (or a pre-arranged pick-up point) immediately after they are harvested, resulting in a steady flow of fresh local produce to consumers.

Most of these farms use ecological practices and organic farming methods. As Community Supported Agriculture is a cooperative venture, based on the sharing of risk between consumers and farmers, consumers benefit when the harvest is good and suffer the consequences of a bad harvest. If the crop is damaged by bad weather or some other accident, consumers absorb the losses by reducing the food items they deliver on a weekly basis. This kind of sharing of risk and reward unites consumers and farmers in a common enterprise.

The Internet plays a decisive role in the contact between farmers and consumers, as it enables the distributed and cooperative organization of the food chain. Thus, within a few years, Community Supported Agriculture has expanded internationally from a dragon of pilot consortia to nearly three thousand businesses supplying tens of thousands of consumers.

The "Community Supported Agriculture" model particularly appeals to the younger generation, who are familiar with the idea of collaboration in digital social spaces and extends to the agri-food sector. In addition, the growing appeal of Community Supported Agriculture reflects both growing consumer consciousness and interest in the need to reduce the ecological footprint. By helping to eliminate petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides, carbon dioxide emissions, and packaging, advertising and promotion costs associated with the existing food production and distribution chain, consumers participating in the Community Supported Agriculture model enjoy a more sustainable way of life.

More and more farmers participating in the Community Supported Agriculture model have started to convert their farmhouses into small power plants, using solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and biomass, thereby reducing energy costs. Consumers also benefit from this saving, as the amount of money they pay as a subscription is reduced.

In all of these new collaborative business practices spanning the entire spectrum of the economy, the horizontal structure trumps the vertical structure of traditional corporate giants that hierarchically organize economic activity.

.As a consequence, the movement of products from door to door creates needs for the employment of human resources, and in fact without particularly technical qualifications.

Supporting local self-sufficiency

The problem of local self-sufficiency in nutrition is imperative after energy and food precision in Europe. At the same time that the globalization of the economy is becoming expensive in basic items such as energy and nutrition. At the same time that the monoculture model of large farms is becoming problematic due to the high cost of energy and transport. These effects also reflect in the agricultural sector with a limitation in employment.

We know that globalization has promoted large monocultures at the expense of what was once local agro-food self-sufficiency.

Dominate markets in terms of competitiveness by finding cheaper labor costs and energy costs. This resulted in the demographic abandonment of the rural area since the industrialization of agriculture required fewer hands.

However, the globalization model of Georgia is currently showing cracks due to the unemployment it causes. But also for the effects on the cultural issue of internal migration from the village to the city (urbanization) causing the demographic desolation of the countryside and consequently the reduction of employment in the rural area where there are many fragmented resources.

After a century of petrochemical-based agriculture that made family farms an endangered species and gave birth to agribusiness giants like Cargill and ADM, a new generation of farmers is tipping the scales by selling their produce directly to consumers .

Indeed, since globalization for a number of reasons is becoming more expensive as "cheap labor costs" increase in developing countries, the question of local self-sufficiency as an alternative attitude to sustainability in the local economy is naturally raised.

The problem cannot be addressed only in the context of the globalization of the market but by reducing production costs at the local level as well.

Thus we observe that in the agri-food sector there is a demand for employment for workers but there is no corresponding supply because the unemployed are in the urban centers and it is difficult to relocate to the in villages without social infrastructure.

How could this problem be addressed through strengthening the collaborative culture?

The economic goal for local self-sufficiency requires a change in the paradigmatic model and institutional and organizational infrastructures for the development of cooperation and the social economy which is a necessary condition for local self-sufficiency.

The issue of material and social infrastructure is of fundamental importance and requires intervention by the State and Local Government.

Social housing programs are needed to relocate young farmers. Allotment of prime lands for social farms with tree crops and forests to cooperatives. Infrastructure for natural parks and agritourism infrastructure.

Empowering energy communities to drastically reduce energy costs.

Water reservoirs to support animal husbandry and agriculture with cheap animal feed with the aim of the sustainability of agricultural and livestock holdings but also the strengthening of local employment.

Finally, there is a need for intervention by the Local Government in the local social economy and a program with an annual budget to strengthen the infrastructure of social entrepreneurship.Footnote: “Today, over a billion people are members of cooperatives – that's one in seven people on Earth. Over one hundred million people are employed by cooperatives, or 20% more than the workers in multinational companies. The three hundred largest cooperatives have as many members as the tenth most populous country in the world. In the United States and Germany one in four is a member of a cooperative. In Canada, four out of ten residents are members of cooperatives. In India and China four hundred million people belong to cooperatives. In Japan, one in three families is a member of a cooperative, and in France thirty-two million people are members of cooperatives. In the United States there are 29,000 cooperatives, with one hundred and twenty million members, and they have 73,000 business premises throughout the country. J. Rifkin

HEALTH SECTOR AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISES

Complementarity needs in the health system

The Economy of social care (children, the elderly and people with disabilities) and tackling poverty.

From state interventionism to social interventionism and social enterprise.

The health and social care sector is a growing sector of employment that will presumably not be constrained by the "technological unemployment" that exists in other sectors of the market economy. In particular, in the social care sector of preventive health for chronic diseases and elderly care, which needs personal daily care and there are increased needs, as these are not adequately covered by the current health systems and are mainly burdened by families.

And this is despite the fact that it is now recognized by the scientific community that adequate health resources can stimulate economic growth by allowing people to remain active and productive in good health for longer. Given that, the health status of citizens has an impact on their ability to participate in the labor market and their productivity. It is also recognized that investing in the health of the population contributes to the reduction of future costs for treating diseases that could have been prevented and not burden the health system. And this in turn contributes to an effective workforce in the healthcare industry.

The coronavirus pandemic has brought the issue of care to the top of society's priorities, revealing the central role that public health systems play in guaranteeing citizens' right to care. In effect, therefore, it shifted the center of gravity from the unnecessary of consumerism to the necessary of the real economy, which is nothing more than nutrition, health and social care needs and unemployment benefits.

According to the forecasts of the Organization of the OECD, public expenditure on health in the major industrialized countries will continue to grow and is expected to reach 9.5% of GDP among member countries in 2060, compared to 6% in 2010.

Other countries such as France and Denmark, followed by the Netherlands, are well above the OECD average and will see their health spending exceed 11% of GDP by 2060, even if they make efforts to check them.

More progressive economists argue that the optimal health policy is for health spending to reach 15% of GDP.

However, even these expenditures, which mainly concern the public and private sectors, are not sufficient to cover the growing needs of care and social care. The private sector obviously does not cover the fact that a third of the population is on the poverty line. This part can only be covered by social health enterprises that operate at a reduced cost.

If we consider that, a low pensioner who has health problems or a disabled person cannot afford the costs of care services from the private social care sector. Nor do public services for child care, child education, disability cover long-term care, and elder care when it comes to low-wage earners who are not 100% covered by their insurance.

This picture certainly differs from country to country within the EU.

Let's see what the real picture is in a Mediterranean country like Greece in relation to preventive health care.

✅Today 90% of Greeks do not have access to a family doctor.

✅The poor pay 20% of disposable income to cover health needs and 2 million postpone or cancel examinations and visits to Doctors due to financial problems and geographical limitations.

✅100% of Dental care is not covered by social security.

✅50% of the cost of Medicines is Private Expense expense.

The private expenditure on Hospitals, which for decades and until 2012 was at 8% of Private expenditure, has risen to 39% and together with medicines they cover almost 80% of Private expenditure.

✅2.5 million Greeks do not do preventive examinations, do not visit Doctors and cut from clothing, Heating and other basic needs if they want to pay for Medicines and Hospitals.

✅The interruption of the historical continuity of benefits after 2011 has led to 10 years of experimentation at the expense of the majority of citizens.

Given these deficits, in the poorest and over-indebted Mediterranean country, the social economy as an institution in the field of health is a necessary alternative proposal to secure resources from three sources: the public, insurance funds and donations to reduce the cost of social care through institutions, boarding schools and preventive health structures.

Institutions in the field of health have an excellent tradition, which can be generalized with the participation of the insured in health entrepreneurship. With self-management of social care. Thus, the investment of the social economy in the reduction of inequalities in the health sector, in the long term, comes to stimulate the entire economy as they are based on real needs of human living and on the reduction of mediation.

Here, it is worth pointing out that inequalities in the health sector do not only entail a loss of human potential, but also potentially huge economic losses. On the contrary, by ensuring everyone's access to health services, we contribute to the reduction of poverty and the fight against social exclusion.

While the increase in employment results from the increase in social entrepreneurship.

The Economy of social care and poverty alleviation

The health system, which after the war relied on the welfare state, now needs to strengthen preventive health as well as post-hospital care for a large proportion of citizens who need it and cannot meet the high costs of services and private help at home. The gap that exists in social care is often covered by families, women and girls are asked to cover a significant part of formal care. A function that is partially absent and covered by unpaid and unrecognized care work, within the family - work that is assumed by their family and social environment as a "natural obligation". The alternative proposal to this problem is social entrepreneurship in the health sector that can work at a reduced cost and bearable for families.

In this sense, the care economy has to do with strengthening the health-welfare systems, but at the same time with the values that are obviously the opposite of the economy of speculation and over-catalization, as well as the economy of over-exploitation of natural resources.

At the level of state interventionism in the economy, we observe after many years, the strengthening by the state of all those affected, not only the workers but also the businesses, and this demolishes the doctrine of self-regulation of the market in the field of health

✅Today 90% of Greeks do not have access to a family doctor.

✅The poor pay 20% of disposable income to cover health needs and 2 million postpone or cancel examinations and visits to Doctors due to financial problems and geographical limitations.

✅100% of Dental care is not covered by social security.

✅50% of the cost of Medicines is Private Expense expense.

The private expenditure on Hospitals, which for decades and until 2012 was at 8% of Private expenditure, has risen to 39% and together with medicines they cover almost 80% of Private expenditure.

✅2.5 million Greeks do not do preventive examinations, do not visit Doctors and cut from clothing, Heating and other basic needs if they want to pay for Medicines and Hospitals.

✅The interruption of the historical continuity of benefits after 2011 has led to 10 years of experimentation at the expense of the majority of citizens.

The Economy of social care and poverty alleviation

At an international level, the state is called upon to save the economy and businesses. The 2 trillion granted by the American government to deal with the economic effects of the pandemic and the approximately 1 trillion from the EU and the development fund show the size of the state intervention that is necessary to get the economy moving forward again after the pandemic.

The essential thing about state interventionism is that the orientation changes. The state undertakes a mission that the market economy cannot naturally undertake. It is obvious that only the state can redistribute resources beyond the basic needs of the real economy and social entrepreneurship in health.

From state interventionism to social interventionism and social enterprise

We are in a time when the state, after the pandemic and in a critical period, is taking precedence over the private economy and the banks. Many are talking about a new Marshall Plan in social care. The governments that gave primacy to market forces and in the field of health are now obliged to take on a corrective role, in the vortex of an inexorable historical necessity for economic interventionism. In fact the state as an institution is somehow forced to increase health spending, while the private health sector is weakened as it has high costs for many. On the contrary, the problem that existed with high-cost statism, from bureaucracy and parasitism, is now being dealt with technocratically, with the reduction in the cost of running the state thanks to the possibility that comes from the digitization of the state and technological developments. These are effects that, despite the economic crisis, strengthen democracy in the allocation of resources and human rights.

The internet can be an ally for patient-directed and patient-controlled health services. First, they share information and medical data that is necessary to manage health problems. Creating common spaces and platforms to provide encouragement and help to one another. To spearhead pressure groups and push Governments, insurance companies and the medical community to rethink established medical views and procedures in every sector of the healthcare space and modernize services.

Today it is a fact that, worldwide, there are many websites and social media platforms where millions of people connect, support and help each other to promote advances in Medicine and public health. Communities of the chronically ill, communities of the elderly, disabled, etc.

These communities collect resources for scientific research, but also for social health enterprises, which expand the front of dealing with health problems. The great advantages of this process are that they constitute a social capital that mobilizes and mobilizes resources for greater speed in addressing life-saving health problems. Thus, social interventionism and social enterprise in the health sector offer two creative effects. Greater expansion and efficiency in the health system and expansion in this area of employment.

The intervention of the local government in the social economy

The intervention of the local self-government in the social economy, with resources and infrastructure, is decisive in its development and especially in the creation of local employment. By analogy with state intervention in the private sector when it is in economic crisis and high unemployment.

And this happens in practice where the social economy is applied in the field of local self-government as it contributes with measurable results in dealing with unemployment and the impoverishment of the population.

There are Municipalities with excellent examples of results that we can refer to such as, the municipality of Madrid and the municipality of Barcelona which are run by two female mayors Manuela Carmena, in Madrid and Ada Colau in Barcelona. Let's note that there are also smaller municipalities with a specific policy agenda for the social economy.

The municipal authority of Madrid instituted the Council of Solidarity Social and Collaborative Economy, in which participate the Regional Federation of collectives from the neighborhoods of the Spanish capital and the European network of fight against poverty and social exclusion actions that strengthened local employment.

The municipal authority of Barcelona has also institutionalized the solidarity economy as one of the political axes of the local government, with the protection of social housing and the creation of a local currency at the forefront.

Also, in a number of municipalities in Europe, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Germany, citizens who are local communities and local governments have set up over 2,000 energy cooperatives. Other smaller municipalities have developed actions in the health and social care sector with excellent results. While it is estimated that 2000 energy cooperatives exist and operate throughout Europe. But also important social enterprises in the health sector that are facilitated by the Local Government.

We could also refer to hundreds of successful examples in the European area, which certify the dynamics of the social economy when supported by local collective initiatives. But our subject is not the individual successful examples of which there are indeed many. The issue that concerns us is the phenomenon of the social economy with universal effect, in dealing with unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. This is because although the list of good examples is long, this does not mean that the social economy is on the agenda of the majority of local government bodies. local government. This is also the reason why a roadmap for the development of synergies and capabilities of local self-government with social enterprises is necessary.

The European Framework of involvement of local government social economy.

In the European context of the social economy already, since the beginning of the 1990s, Local Self-Government together with civil society organizations are considered important actors and factors of the development policy of the developed countries of the European Union, which is also specialized in similar European Financial programs. Something similar applies (without being shown, of course) in the United States of America, Canada, Australia, etc. While at the level of the European Union, the European Commission has recognized the role that synergies between OTAs and civil society organizations can play by promoting appropriate cooperation policies.

However, the institutional environment for the creation of social enterprises presents deficiencies, as it is not part of the general logic of the private sector of the economy. In any case, the implementation of the Social Economy in practice is not only a question of the central Government, but mainly a question of the Local Self-Government, due to proximity to the social base, but also due to the need to supplement the services provided to the Local Society. Municipalities at the present time can start their creative experience in the social economy from the energy sector.

From direct self-production and self-consumption to reduce the cost of energy in each municipality, at the same time setting an example for households to create energy communities in turn. With this experience of reducing the cost of essential services as a guide, they can be transferred to other areas of the social economy, such as strengthening local food self-sufficiency and health and social care services.

Inactive human and material resources in local communities

One of the main causes of the impoverishment of the population and unemployment, as well as the inadequacy of health and social care services, are the inactive human and material resources that are not exploited locally by the private and public sectors. Such unused spaces (school lands, public buildings, forests ) and on the other hand inactive human resources, high youth unemployment, and great needs for social services are the contradictions that can be solved by the social economy that emphasizes livelihood and not profiteering.

In other words, there are largely inactive material and human resources which private entrepreneurship has no interest in developing nor the public sector in mobilizing. Taking into account, of course, that the resources of the welfare state are not sufficient to cover all the growing welfare and social care needs.

And this happens given that, the increasing taxation on which the welfare state is based has reached the highest limits, which is suffocating small businesses resulting in the inability to cover the ever-increasing social needs. On the other hand, increasing unemployment due to technological developments is a cause of economic and social exclusion, creating a situation that cannot be dealt with over time by the welfare state alone.

The increasing supply of products does not cause the corresponding demand from consumers as wages and incomes are limited.

Thus, the inactivity of resources at the level of covering basic needs of food, shelter and social care is one of the main causes of the problem of stagnation of economic activity. The state and the market cannot cover all the needs of society. The complementarity of the social economy, through the rational approach of exploiting inactive resources by social enterprises, can certainly fill the gap and would benefit both the public and private sectors, given the expansion of employment and consumption . Precisely because complementarity will further have positive effects on the level of mass consumption and also on the expansion of the tax base. Thus claiming the reduced cost of transactions arises the need for the development of the social economy.

Many admit that the policy of benefits to people who have the ability to work is not the right social solution. The generally accepted right policy is interventionism to create new jobs. Therefore, the desired goal should always be, in relation to the appropriate incentives, the strengthening of entrepreneurship that expands employment. And this is what social enterprises can achieve based on reduced transaction costs.

Subsidies from the European Social Fund can be given to cover a part of the labor costs of employees, in social enterprises as leverage for the mobilization of inactive human resources.

This should be the request and the request to every government from the side of the Local Government, but also from the organizations of the Civil Society with the aim of strengthening the social enterprises.

The synergies of local government social enterprises and "Social Development Partnerships"

The local government owns common areas, as we mentioned elsewhere. It owns municipal lands, Mountains, forests, rivers, seashores, squares and buildings. These are material resources that objectively belong to the citizens. These resources can only be utilized to a limited extent with municipal enterprises, while it is possible to utilize them on a larger scale through synergies between municipal enterprises and social enterprises.

First of all, in the energy sector, through energy communities (Energy cooperatives) it can proceed on a large scale by utilizing new technologies, for renewable energy sources, drastically reducing up to 70% the cost of electricity in every local community, business and household .

In the area of agri-food local self-sufficiency, providing land and infrastructure support to social agricultural cooperatives can improve local income and local self-sufficiency.

In the health-social care sector, creating infrastructures for social enterprises Health and social care, strengthening preventive health, social care and combating poverty.

In the environment sector, alongside eco-protection, to utilize the natural environment. with green entrepreneurship in forest and ecosystem management.

In the field of internet and digital work, strengthening initiatives for Digital Citizen Service Advisory Centers, with the aim of supporting new social enterprises.

In the social housing sector, offering land and housing infrastructure to housing cooperatives.

In the field of cultural entrepreneurship where there is a tradition of intervention by the Local Government. To cultural parks of leisure and entertainment in the context of social entrepreneurship.

Such an approach at the level of local government requires in principle to have a political agenda of the social economy. Specific funds in the annual budget and recording of available resources for social entrepreneurship.

 Creation of TA interventions Agenda

 Recording and planning of utilization of inactive resources

 Collaborative solidarity networks

 Participatory processes of gathering social and intellectual capital.

 Knowledge management and dissemination structures.

 Consulting-mentoring services

Based on a local vision and development plan of the social economy, it is necessary to inventory the inactive resources and needs in each Municipality. So that the available material infrastructures are known in the local community and that this works as a diagnostic tool for Municipal Councils and other local bodies. In order to take initiatives to exploit the comparative advantages of the region.

Another condition for the development of the social economy in local government is the municipal social economy networks at the National and European level, so that the initiatives can be institutionally supported.

The complex task of mobilizing human resources and networking social enterprises from all sides – citizens, consumers, professionals, producers, social agencies of Local Government needs to be served by a system of networking and organization. Therefore, we would say that we are dealing with an open call to local collectives to participate in social entrepreneurship with the support of the Local Government.

There are thousands of civil society organizations in every country that offer practical help to the homeless, drug addicts, immigrants, the elderly, the disabled and various vulnerable social groups. But without often having a local plan that will increase the possibilities. However, to the extent that the social economy is on the agenda of the Local Government, more human and material resources can be mobilized.

And this objectively can only be done through the structures of the social economy and social entrepreneurship as this form of entrepreneurship ensures reduced production costs and reduced transaction costs. Finally, reduced costs are the foundation for sustainability in areas that cannot be met by private entrepreneurship and wage labor.

In conclusion, municipal interventionism, to support social enterprises, can reduce the cost of public services, create local employment where the state and the market fail, reduce transaction costs and ensure the sustainability of services where there is no other way out. . Based on this institutional framework and the synergy with Local Government, Civil Society organizations can acquire a more dynamic role where they become, at least at the national level, an equal interlocutor in the social dialogue, regarding the distribution of resources and in particular the European Social Fund. The ultimate goal is to boost the social income and the so-called "social wage" of citizens with benefits in services as a counterbalance in an era of declining demand for wage labor and precision, in basic livelihood goods.

THE SECTOR OF THE GREEN ECONOMY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

• The commons of the environment

• (public goods management)

• The role of civil society in the green economy

• Individual sectors of green entrepreneurship

• The energy communities

• the link of green entrepreneurship

with the social economy

DEFINITION

• The green economy is based on the concept of sustainability as well as that of sustainability in relation to the environment.

• Treats the environment as a vital pillar of economic activity, but also of the sustainability of society.

• It is based on the combination of innovation, research and new technologies in a new model of economic development.

• The green economy proclaims the adoption of measures for climate change, the reduction of pollutants that enhance the greenhouse effect, better energy management as well as the use of Renewable Energy Sources.

• Green entrepreneurship emerges and develops through the green economy.

THE OBJECT OF GREEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

• The renewable natural resources that, in contrast to the non-renewable ones, e.g. (fossil fuels), can be used without negative effects on the environment, i.e. have a sustainable use.

• It is an emerging form of economic activity, based primarily on vital needs related to the quality of life and the environment, and constitutes a business branch with a wide scope.

• The most characteristic examples of application concern the exploitation of protected areas (eg Natura areas) as poles of green development.

• The production and sale of organic farming and animal husbandry products, but also in the development of eco-tours and eco-tourism

• At the same time, it emphasizes the management of natural resources and waste, recycling and "green infrastructure".

• Investing in environmentally friendly transport that will reduce emissions. A typical example here is the automotive sector.

AREAS OF GREEN BUSINESS ACTIVITY

In the field of green energy with cutting edge energy communities, public-municipal buildings and schools can be utilized, for energy self-sufficiency of Municipalities, but also to create a living example in each Municipality to organize citizens and households in cooperative energy production and to save significant resources.

Using Photovoltaics, Household Cogeneration of Electricity & Heat, Air Conditioning - Natural Cooling - Lighting

– Using Solar Electricity (for heating - cooling environment & water).

– energy saving lamps.

– Constructing new buildings bioclimatically and fixing old ones to be as energy-efficient as possible.

In the housing sector, choosing naturally recyclable materials that are compatible, friendly and do not burden the environment such as:

Ø Stone-wood: as long as it is a product of "sustainable forest management"

Ø Ceramics: Utensils - covers,.

Ø Ecological Construction with: ecological plasters, insulation, correct water pipes, doors, wiring, ecological paints, etc.

Ø By utilizing at least half of household waste with household composters

Ø With the green roofs and the green open spaces of the apartment buildings.

Ø By creating small autonomous biological purifications.

In the field of nutrition, by buying and consuming organic products (always with labeling), reducing meat consumption by replacing pre-cooked and highly preserved foods, with as fresh as possible and less "traveled" until they reach our table, we give a strong push to green agriculture and organic products.

In the field of health, we know that prevention is better than cure. By preventing through diet, limiting smoking, alcohol and other harmful chemicals.

· By replacing chemical drugs and pesticides and the possibilities with the use of ecotherapeutic methods and preparations.

· In alternative ways that promote Health (Holistic treatment – without drugs)

· With the Ecological way of driving (walking - cycling = Health - Good Physical Condition.

In the field of packaging, replacing plastic packaging and bags with organic and recyclable packaging.

In the field of recycling, collecting waste in bins, promoting home composting. In tourism, choosing places that highlight ecotourism, agritourism and local organic products, hotels and shops with green specifications, promoting green tourism with the lowest impact on environment.

GREEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN CITIES

• In front of the environmental impasse of big cities, there is the vision of "green cities", a realistic way out to change the direction of investments and the consumption pattern.

• It is directly linked to the green demand for healthy and beneficial products and services, to the development of renewable energy sources and eco-management of water, to bioclimatic buildings and energy saving, to the policy of "green cities" and recycling with the eco-protection of forests and the sea. With the claim for a clean environment and health.

The benefit is thus twofold. On the one hand we have an active promotional process for the protection of the environment and on the other hand green development that ensures the sustainability of ecosystems.

• The horizontal cooperation of social networks and environmental organizations with T.A. it is the key to succeed both in the case of eco-protection and green entrepreneurship.

• Green entrepreneurship without the participation of the local community is deficient. It limits human resources, driving forces and the ultimate benefit to the local community.

• Green resources and policies cannot be mobilized to a sufficient extent if local communities and local government are not mobilized to "cultivate" the ground for both demand and entrepreneurship in this direction.

URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND GREEN BUSINESS

• A key area is spatial planning and "green" bioclimatic buildings

• The contribution of greenery and plant cover to the need for energy upgrading and limiting energy consumption is very important.

• Energy saving by reducing the thermal burden of buildings through the absorption of solar radiation, the improvement of the microclimate, the filtering of a large part of the pollutants are mentioned as examples.

• The utilization and management of the surrounding area of the buildings as green areas upgrades the aesthetic and utilitarian value of the constructions, improves the microclimate and leads, among other things, to environmental and energy benefits.

• The technology of building planted roofs (green roofs) as well as vertical gardens (green walls) in new as well as old buildings, gives the possibility of increasing the building and total urban greenery.

• THE LAND OF SCARCITY AND THE SUN OF PLENTY

The breach in the paradigmatic model comes from the developments as we said in the field of energy. From the abundance and free energy of the Sun against the scarcity of the earth's energy resources. The energy landscape changes when local communities and municipalities gain energy autonomy in the context of cooperation. We should also point out that the social economy differs in terms of capital composition but also in terms of wage labor. The capital in this case is participative and is constituted by the cooperative producers and consumers and by the use of fixed assets belonging to the community. The work is on a piece-rate basis and the remuneration is according to the deliverables. Thus labor costs are adjusted according to performance. There cannot be late wages like the public sector. The benefit is often in the provision of goods and not in money as is the case in energy communities.

WHAT DRIVES GREEN BUSINESS

• Green entrepreneurship is first of all driven by the urgent need to deal with climate change and the transition from fossil fuels to mild and renewable energy sources.

• Green entrepreneurship which is the driving force to have a sustainable urban environment.

• The growing market demand for green products and services.

• The moral advantage of green entrepreneurship towards every form of life.

• The application of new advanced green technologies that offer advantages to green entrepreneurship investors.

• The environmental impasse of big cities and the vision of green cities.

• The pressure for sufficient clean drinking water for the growing population and growing crops.

• The impasse of the overconsumption of chemical drugs and pesticides and the need, but also the possibilities that exist for the use of ecotherapeutic methods and preparations

WHAT PREVENTS ITS DEVELOPMENT

• In principle, the consolidated investments and concentration of capital in polluting sectors of the economy, which acts as a confederacy and deterrent for investments in green entrepreneurship (e.g. fossil fuels).

– The logic of easy profit that does not consider the cost of protecting the ecosystem.

– Ignorance of the benefits that green technologies often offer for investors.

– The bureaucratic obstacles for the introduction of new technologies, as we had for example for the spread of photovoltaics.

– The lack of serious motivation for for infrastructure investments in green entrepreneurship. – The lack of a new organizational culture, as happens for example in agricultural production where farmers hardly change their crops even though they could be replaced with more efficient ones that do not burden the environment.
