Abstract

Since their first appearance, cooperatives have proved to be a viable alternative to promoting the legitimate interests of disadvantaged groups of the population, such as rural ones, refugees, immigrants, the unemployed, the elderly or the disabled, who have discovered in cooperatives the means needed to improve their own material situation.

Today these principles are known as the famous Rochdale Principles, which have so far been the basis for the development and expansion of the global cooperative movement, becoming, in fact, the prototype of cooperative societies.
