In 2020, Japan made history with the unanimous approval of the Worker Co-operative Act, the first of its kind in the country. Building on this momentum and following the success of our Japan-Europe knowledge-sharing event on worker co-operatives in March 2024, the OECD is partnering again with the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training (JILPT) to host another webinar – this time connecting Japan with Southeast Asia.
A dynamic conversation on the future of worker co-operatives in Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Attendees heard from leading practitioners and policymakers who are shaping the co-operative landscape in their respective countries. And learnt how new legal frameworks, innovative governance models and grassroots initiatives are driving inclusive, people-centred economic growth.
Whether you are a co-operative member, policymaker, researcher or simply curious about new forms of work, this event offered rich insights and real-world examples you can take back to your own context. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn and be inspired! Watch the replay!
