Sumario:On October 31, 2016, the Greek Parliament approved Law 4430/2016 on Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS) in order to disseminate this alternative form of organization of economic activity; support and strengthen self-managed productive projects and collective social entrepreneurship, and regulate Cooperative Social Enterprises and Workers Cooperatives. In this work we have analyzed the main characteristics of the Greek ESS, mainly in relation to other European models; and the different types of companies it integrates, highlighting the differences between them and their main characteristics compared to other nearby institutions such as social cooperatives or social enterprises. Finally we present a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the implementation of the ESS in Greece, its magnitudes, its organization and the main promotion measures by the public authorities.
