Nel dicembre 2021 la Commissione Europea ha adottato lo “Action plan on the social economy”, frutto di un ampio processo di consultazione con cittadini e stakeholder.
https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1537&langId=enIl contesto. L’economia sociale in Europa conta 2,8 milioni di organizzazioni che occupano 13,6 milioni di lavoratori, pari al 6,3% della popolazione in età da lavoro e rappresenta circa 8 % del PIL europeo, mentre in Italia si muovono quasi 380 mila organizzazioni per un valore aggiunto complessivo di oltre 49 miliardi di euro, 1,52 milioni di addetti (che salgono rispettivamente a 51,8 miliardi di euro e a 1,58 milioni includendo anche le controllate dei gruppi cooperativi) e più di 5,5 milioni di volontari.
Istat, Primo Rapporto sulle cooperative sociali anno 2015, 2019https://www.istat.it/it/archivio/226383Lo scopo dichiarato del Piano è “rafforzare l’innovazione sociale, sostenere lo sviluppo dell’economia sociale e aumentare il suo potere di trasformazione sociale ed economica” in un approccio strutturale.
Per il periodo 2021-2030 prevede 38 azioni in tre direzioni:
creare le condizioni quadro adeguate affinché l'economia sociale possa prosperare,
offrire alle organizzazioni dell'economia sociale opportunità per avviare ed espandere le loro attività e acquisire capacità,
migliorare il riconoscimento dell'economia sociale e del suo potenziale.
Il Piano è accompagnato da tre documenti operativi allegati:
analisi delle possibilità e delle opportunità per l’economia sociale in Europa
scenari per la transizione ecologica e digitale dell’ecosistema economico
opportunità di finanziamento disponibili per sostenere l’economia sociale.
“With the action plan, the Commission put forward concrete measures to help mobilise the full potential of the social economy, building on the results of the 2011 Social Business Initiative and the 2016 Start-up and Scale-up Initiative 2016.
Despite the progress made under the previous initiatives, needs persist in several areas. improving the right framework conditions for the social economy across Europe, including improved visibility and recognition and access to finance and markets are key aspects of the action plan.
The Covid-19 pandemic made the case for a switch to a fair, sustainable and resilient economic model even stronger than before. The aim of the action plan is to enhance social investment, support social economy actors and social enterprises to start-up, scale-up, innovate and create jobs. It will do this through a series of initiatives in the following three areas:
creating the right framework conditions for the social economy to thrive
opening up opportunities and support to capacity building
enhancing recognition of the social economy and its potential
The action plan announces a number of key actions to support social economy, for example:
a Council Recommendation on developing social economy framework conditions
a new EU Social Economy Gateway to provide a clear entry point for social economy stakeholders, other relevant actors and individuals seeking information on relevant EU funding, policies and initiatives
a new European Competence Centre for Social Innovation
Access to funding was highlighted as a challenge for social economy organisations in the context of the SBI, and 10 years later it remains a challenge. Improving access to finance is therefore an important area of work under the Social economy action plan.
The publication of the action plan was preceded by extensive dialogue with citizens and stakeholders. In addition, the Commission has been building the evidence-base for the initiative through several studies, such as the Study on the Impact of the SBI and its follow-up actions and mapping exercises.
The action plan also presents funding opportunities available to support the social economy."
