Bringing platform cooperatives to Japan: Q&A with Mathias Sager

The Platform Cooperative Japan Consortium (PCJ) is the first organization in Asia focused on promoting the idea of platform cooperatives — businesses that bring the structure of traditional cooperatives, including worker ownership and governance — to the digital world. PCJ was founded by Mathias Sager and is directly connected to the New York City-based Platform Cooperativism network (Shareable is a member of this cohort).

Great to see that @michaelafisher is continuing her year-long learning journey with a visit to Japan. Hoping to introduce her to many great cooperativists and movement people there. Let's organize an online discussion with her in the fall -- to hear about her trip and the people and projects she encountered.

Excellent question, thanks @mattcropp @Matt_Noyes

Potential in JP as disappearing SME, job security, youth unempl., female workforce issues, dependency on business alliances (co-opetition) are challenges for which #workercoop #platformcoop #platformcoopjp is a solution. Conservative salary man culture is hindering, hopefully a worker coop law will contribute in the future

The #PCJ is collaborating with the JWCU and others to explore
