Sosialisasi Urgensi Koperasi dalam Mewujudkan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat

Abstract

Cooperative is a business entity formed by a person or group of people to achieve a common goal. Cooperatives have the goal of prospering all its members in various aspects, especially the economic aspect. Welfare is achieved through activities in the cooperative, including batik, savings and loans and training for new management. Cooperatives in developed countries have proven to be very contributing to the welfare of their people. However, in some areas there are still many people who are not aware of the benefits that will be obtained when joining a cooperative member. The Mulya Abadi Women's Cooperative is a cooperative in Bukur Village which was established in 2010, with 84 members. Cooperative members are only as much as 18% of the total community who are in their productive period following the cooperative. This shows that there is a lack of public awareness of the importance of knowing the benefits of being a member of a cooperative. Therefore, the urgency of cooperative socialization is carried out in Bukur Village in order to build awareness of the village community.
