Economia solidária e território: contribuições para o desenvolvimento econômico do município de Santarém-PA.

Abstract

Solidarity economy can be defined as the set of activities that seek economic democratization through collective forms of work organization, in contrast to the employer-employee relationship, characteristic of the current economic form, and these initiatives are identified as more definitive solutions to the lack of work and income. However, with its rapid organization, especially between 2003 and 2018, it was possible to follow the maturing of its conception in recognition as a development strategy and in the relationship with the territorial perspective of development on sustainable bases. The main objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between the solidarity economy and the economic development of the municipality of Santarém/PA, since the area of studies on this topic is considered lacking. We used the qualitative approach to understand the solidarity economy and its relationship with the economic development of the city under study and the quantitative approach to characterize solidarity economic enterprises from the descriptive analysis of secondary data resulting from the second national mapping of solidarity economy made available by Sies on your website. We found that the absence of a government policy causes a program, of great importance to local actors, to be discontinued due to the turnover of municipal management, which is one of the difficulties encountered by the solidarity economy for its strengthening, not only the local level, but also at the federal level. And its contribution to the economic development of the municipality consists in strengthening the enterprises through their economic gains and in the social integration of their actors from the social inclusion provided by the enterprises.
