The social and solidarity economy, through cooperative structures, has been promoted for its potential to reduce poverty, enhance economic inclusion and provide alternative solutions to labour market issues in developing countries.

The paper builds an original qualitative and quantitative survey on the population of cooperatives in different sectors in Morocco and estimates the determining factors of their turnover growth, accounting for sample selection bias, as well as their survival rate.
