The European social economy has long history since the struggles of women and men as the Rochdale Pioneers or all those who fought in the XIX century to access social protection through mutuals, which are the pioneers of our current social security and national healthcare systems. Today the social economy movement continues catalysing social and environmental innovation, with over 2.8 million entities, that employ 13.6 million people. New opportunities for the development of the ecosystem have arisen as the Social Economy Action Plan, and the recently launched Transition Pathway on Proxility and Social Economy, that offer an opportunity window for the social economy to scale up across Europe and at global level, also thanks to the efforts of international organisations as the UN, the ILO, and the OECD, as well as of governments and social economy networks.
