O cooperativismo solidário como meio de acesso e manutenção do mínimo existencial

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the key elements that characterize the Cooperative Solidarity, which aims to insert disadvantaged people in the economic market through employment, especially those related to preserving the dignity of the human being, directly related to social rights proclaimed in Article 6 of the Constitution. In this aspect, firstly, we focus on the study of the history of Cooperatives and their legislative evolution in Brazil, as well as comparing them with the Italian Social Cooperatives, which were the basis of this type of society in Brazil. Secondly, we discuss the concept, characteristics, principles and objectives of this type of society. Once the general elements of the Cooperative Solidarity have been defined, we detail the context, rationalization and effectiveness of these companies in the national scenario.Subsequently, and in parallel to the study of the Cooperative Solidarity, we discuss the Minimum Existential, its origin, historical evolution, concept and characteristics.Moreover, we address the fundamental human rights as a guarantee of human dignity, their constitutional treatment, the internationalization of these rights, both individually and collectively, and the principle of non-retrogression.Thus, after outlining these considerations, we demonstrate the correlation between cooperative solidarity and the principle of human dignity, its applicability and effectiveness as a means of access and permanency in the Minimum Existential.As a source of study and research, information has been obtained through field work and by visitation and collection of hard data, for subsequent demonstration of statistical and factual reality of this type of society, as well as its role in the national economy
