A Look at Social Heterogeneity from the Social Networks of Non-Agricultural Cooperatives

The research from which this article is based analyzes the configuration of the social fabric of non-agricultural cooperatives as new social actors, both within the working space and in two other spheres in which daily life takes place: family and free time. The Theory of Social Networks and the analysis of Cooperativism are taken as references. The results show spaces of heterogeneous relationship both at the individual level (of the cooperative members) and the collective level (of the CNAs) that draw more favorable contexts for some / as than others. It reaffirms the challenges of finding alternatives to inequality and promoting the development of cooperativism.
